I'm curious to creck some of the new stuff out but it all looks so not Star Trek

By New Trek I mean Discovery, Picard, Strange New World and Lower Decks

Wow that's a lot of series.

I like the optimism of Star Trek and apparently a lot of New Trek kind of abandons that? sadness

    I enjoyed Lower Decks. Picard was like wannabe Firefly. Discovery was gritty doomer, kinda. I wandered off after the second or third season and never made my way back. Never watched SNW.

    Don't sleep on The Orwell.

      I just rewatched Firefly and I don't see this comparison. Could you elaborate?

        Not firefly, but Serenity. Strange girl appears and is a mysteriously great fighter... Etc etc

        Not in story in any way, just vibes. Plucky ragtag group with a ship off on an adventure against the man type of thing. I did not watch past the first season so idk about beyond that.

            Kinda what figured. If I hadn't been watching the first season with a friend I'm not sure I would have finished it.
