I was born during the second season, didn't see the show until I was 20 and behind the various Star Treks it's my favorite show. If you don't wanna watch it, fine,. It it does have way more going on than you know about and becomes compel again and then goes real fucking weird after. Watch it or don't, but that slump did break, it said it would see us again in 25 years, it did and it fucking ruled hard.
