OT: Trekkies of the Pack
- Thread starter CochiseCowbell
- Start date
I dated a Trekkie for years. Total nerd. We watched all the series you mentioned above and I rate them as you did, although I guess I didn't hate DS9 because I'm pretty sure I watched every episode.
New wife - not a trekkie - and new life:
started Strange New Worlds and really enjoyed it, but maybe watched a half dozen episode.
Picard was awesome with some of the best writing. Definitely worth watching.

After the Next Generation, Star Trek died a slow, anguished death. These latest revisions have been an abomination to the original ideas.
I can't wait to see their latest cash-grab attempts at rewriting Star Trek. These attempts are almost as bad as the Lord of the Rings joke on Prime.

It's time to move on from nerd stuff and catch up on the latest season of Baby Billy Bible Bonkers!!!!!
New episodes of Gemstones, White Lotus, and (very soon) Last of Us - what a time to be alive.
Just don't get caught misbehavin by "Runnin' through the house with a pickle in your mouth"
Ok, so most of Star Trek Discovery sucks and I mean absolutely 17ing sucks and has the most insufferable lead in a generation, Michael Burnham. That being said, season 2 introduces Captain Pike (played by Anson Mount, Mr. Bohannon from “Hell on Wheels”) and the crew of the Enterprise. Michelle Yeoh is the only other good thing about that show.
So, I’d say if you can stomach it, watch Season 2 of Discovery and then never revisit Discovery again because you can now focus on Strange New Worlds, which follows Captain Pike and the pre-Kirk days of the Enterprise. I 17ing love this show! It’s everything you could love about the original series. There are some dry moments, but most of the characters are so goddam likable, those get overcome.
You don’t need to watch Discovery to get SNW, but there are some allusions early on to events that took place on Discovery that you might be a little lost about.
Lower Decks is a really fun show. It’s animated and takes place around the TNG/DS9/Voyager timeframe. It’s got a lot of really deep cuts and Easter eggs for longtime Trekkies. It’s animated, but it’s not a kids cartoon.
Picard takes place decades after TNG. The first season is a little rough, but the rest of it is fantastic! It’s a fitting send off for that crew.
Sector 31 is a movie that follows Michelle Yeoh’s character from Discovery. It is garbage, which is a shame because her character was one of the few high spots of Discovery. It’s a heist movie, but it’s shot like 90’s made for TV garbage and the acting sucks.
Star Trek Prodigy is 100% a kids’ show. I’ve only watched the first episode.
Agree with all. Strange New Worlds is definitely the best of the new stuff. I enjoyed Lower Decks much more than I anticipated.
Exactly what Dawgg said. Discovery is generally horrible. Jett Reno is the best character outside the SNW group, and she gets minimal screen time.
Section 31 was a missed opportunity, Picard season 2 was okay and 3 was good.
Strange New Worlds is generally awesome and even when they’re preachy, it’s usually subtle.
Lower Decks is funny, but there are some deep cuts, and you’ll enjoy it more if you’ve seen every other series more recently than 30 years ago.
