trek was very good in the 1990s except for a couple of the movies and some stinker episodes. grading on a curve it was incredibly good in the 1960s although some things are usually lost on modern audiences like the short skirts being a symbol of womens' liberation at the time or how amazingly progressive the diversity of the cast was. Dr. King famously, among trekkies, convinced Nichelle Nichols not to quit the show.
enterprise was trash, ruined by production burnout and 9/11. nemesis is worse than the star wars holiday special. the abrams/kurtzman movies are awful and everything that those pieces of shit and their friends touch is awful which is why discovery and picard are like that.
Watching TOS for the first time just now and (as you say, grading on a curve) I'm greatly enjoying it.
Even though I frequently disagree completely with the cast, the way that they're able to discuss alternate philosophies, change their minds through experience, and admit to being unhappy when their solution is imperfect - it shouldn't come across as refreshing as it does.
And it's just fun whenever Spock goes smash and starts crumpling props.
Oh yeah definitely. I hate Abrams and kurtzman so much I can not properly express my hatred for them in this brief moment. I had mentioned in this thread that strange new worlds reminded me of what I loved about the earlier series and pulled me out of my trek slump, even though it is very far away from being the best star trek. I'm probably just going to watch the old ones and pretend that the new stuff doesn't exist from now on.
It’s like people who told me mandalorian season 2 was good because Luke shows up at the end. I don’t fucking care about your CGI nostalgia bullshit, that makes it even worse not any better!
I pulled myself out of the Star Trek slump after Strange new worlds. SNW isn't great but it is good enough to convince me that there is something good in there and there are still some people out there who can see it too (sometimes).
The Picard series was so bad it made me question if star Trek was ever good to begin with.
