I wouldn’t say pale in comparison. Enterprise was really good in my opinion. Lower Decks and Prodigy too, these are a bit different, but have the same spirit I think.

I also rewatch The Original Series episodes every once in a while. The show as a whole is not really good by modern standards, but it has gems and it’s interesting to see where it all began.

Every show except Discovery has a balance of great episodes, filler episodes, and bad episodes. Discovery was bad from A to Z.

Sure, it’s SNW S02E09 (“Subspace Rhapsody”). I watched the teaser and decided to skip that one. I read the synopsis before watching the season finale.

I think Prodigy really improved in the second half of the first season and more so in the second season. I thoroughly enjoyed it as an adult watching by myself, no shame in that 😁

I watch 929 episodes (out of 930 to date), the 10 shorts, and the 14 movies. Out of devotion. Section 31 was indeed awful, what can I say. But it’s only 90 minutes and you lose nothing if you multitask while watching.

IMO Lower Decks and Prodigy, the two animated shows, were the best by far of New Trek. Strange New Worlds is quite OK (and I have a soft spot for it since the Toronto episode). I hope it continues on the right path.

Yep, I think that’s how it’s commonly understood.

It was absolutely the best of New Trek!
