It was/is the best modern "star trek" thats coming out. Loved that you could see all the writers and seth were just huge trekies. The moral dilemma's are almost always good. And the mostly episodic episodes are a huge bonus.
I would agree with you, until Star Trek Strange New Worlds. That show is fantastic.
Along with Lower Decks as well. The crossover to Strange New Worlds was great.
Lower Decks is fantastic, but it's almost its own thing while still being a love letter to earlier Treks. It is obviously aimed at a different demographic while still being one of the best modern Treks. That crossover episode was almost all fan service, but there is nothing wrong with that every once and a while. It was a very fun episode. The end where the SNW cast was animated had me laughing, it was very well done.
Ive yet to watch it but ive heard good things.
I was in the same boat as you until recently. I was burned so bad from Discovery and Picard I just couldn't go through it again. I heard all the good things, but still I just couldn't get around to it. I'm so glad I finally did. I know there is some recency bias but I think I would go so far as to say Captain Pike is my favorite Captain now...
Damn it's like you know me LMAO. I swear I will check it out soon.
I bet it was common in the Trek community. I guess the positive side is you have two seasons to be able to binge when you finally get around to it.
Renewed for Season 3!
It's so good I didn't even consider that not being a possibility. Glad to hear it though.
I find it to be very much the opposite, but infinite diversity in infinite combinations.
