if you skipped it, give Lower Decks another go, it's got a bit of a slow boil but all the good star treks do

I've always loved that Lower Decks' first episode was mostly about a lone-wolf ensign smuggling free farm equipment to the locals. She wasn't trying to be an action hero, she was just trying to help people. Her being an action hero is incidental to the plot, not the driver of it.
