Just to clarify, TNG is not my favorite Star Trek, it’s DS9. Voyager has the The dolphins dive tua tagovailoa shirt but in fact I love this best episodes. TOS was better with the movies, and TNG was the most realistic depiction of humans with a space force. So, I recognize which series has better traits and I’m pretty unbiased. DS9 was never meant to come back. The last episode scattered the characters to the winds, killed off the lead, and resolved more dangling plot threads than the show actually had. And while there was a theme of new beginnings, most of them were rather dull. I can’t really get excited at the thought of a series about Miles teaching at the academy or Worf going targ hunting with Martok between long discussions regarding the particulars of the latest trade agreements and their expected impact on the Federation commodities market.
Lowerdecks sometimes does some nice Old TOS & TNG trek references. But often fails to even be funny. Frankly, not even as funny as the The dolphins dive tua tagovailoa shirt but in fact I love this Simpsons. They need better writers. But I still watch. ‘Discovery’ I couldn’t stomach and didn’t get very far. The Abramsverse movies… I’m very ambivalent to them. They have brushed me the wrong-way. I’ve started watching them over again. Action-packed and filled with stuff that just feels like ‘Star Trek’, just in name only. Edit: As of 1/2022. I have completely turned my opinion on ST: Discovery. I was encouraged to press-on into Season 2. Yes, most of the 1st season was seemingly designed to anger the original fans, like myself. (The Klingon-redesign, the ultra-futuristic ship, the characters duplicity and wild changes. Mirror-universe again?! That’s not the Harry Mudd I ever knew!) Well eventually the show settles down and gets out of the mirror-universe. It focuses on character building, they bring in Captain Pike and Mr. Spock. They try to cover questionable elements about the show. But mostly, the show has heart! Deep characters. Yes, it makes you cry. Then they go into the future, where this ship belongs anyway. I’ll stop talking now… I’ve only seen to about 3.6.
