Future Tense, Regeneration, Minefield, Cogenitor and The Expanse were all good

Yep, I agree. The first two seasons are truly the worst tv Ive ever seen.

Im pretty sure it was the basis for the Xindi arc which I really liked

Season 2 has a few gems but yes its an overall bland season

Picard season 3 was probably the most dramatic improvement in Trek history

I always have skipped the first two seasons of DS9 on rewatches to the point that i dont even remember most of the episodes in these seasons. I guess Ill have to give them another go

I have both books. Very fascinating reads. Unification two parter is one of my favorite Trek two parters btw

Love that they went to some exotic alien structure in space and not just a normal planet

I have ParamountPlus but I’ll just watch it on YouTube anyway as an excuse to watch the episode again

I guess I should try Foundation finally

Discovery doesn’t have a single good episode I’ve went back to revisit, while even the “weaker” series like ENT have episodes I revisit.

Lower Decks mostly references TOS-ENT, so it won’t matter much.

Huh i didnt know that. I should rewatch the episode tonight

Tendi is the best new Trek character

The third season is the best one. Feels like a TNG season in a good way

LD and The Orville are both awesome

I mostly agree but the show did occasionally directly steal from TNG and other Treks. Then again it also did story ideas from TNG better as well, such as the episode Deflectors.

The Orville isn’t anything like Galaxy Quest though

I only remember one episode dealing directly with trans issues in TNG, which was The Outcast. Which isn’t that great of an episode for a variety nof reasons.

I agree with everything you just said
