Inspired by gregorum’s post concerning issues with startrek.website, which is ironic as lemmy.world is a bit glitchy right now and isn’t letting me upload and had to use my alt here.

    they’re all good to varying degrees and all Star Trek. Even the shitty lizard babies.

    except Enterprise. that’s cold garbage.

      Enterprise has some exceptional episodes, like “Dear Doctor” which goes into the ethics of pre-warp interference.

        When I found out there was a mirror universe two-parter, I IMMEDIATELY abandoned the conversation I was having to watch it. Fortunately, that conversation was with other Trek fans who understood and just laughed.

        Points for the intro, too!

        Dear doctor is one of those classic good eps of trek with absolutely terrible morality, much like every time Picard is like “these people have to die when we could easily help them because that’s what the universe wants”

      I think the last 2 seasons of enterprise has got to be the best seasons of all star trek series

        I really need to rewatch Enterprise at some point. I keep seeing people say the later stuff is good, but my recollection is it was annoying time travel stuff and actually worse than the earlier seasons. It’s making me doubt myself, especially given how long ago it was.

          I felt like ENT had potential for greatness given its premise, but every single time time travel was involved, it actively made the show worse. It was supposed to be all about the early beginnings of the Federation and the first Enterprise’s journey into the unknown, but they kept interrupting it with random temporal cold war bullshit that nobody cares about.

            Yeah that’s how I remember it, but it seems popular opinion is the temporal cold war stuff was good now?

              That’s crazy lol, it was soooooo bad! I felt like that and some of the attempts to appeal specifically to straight men were the things that ruined an otherwise very interesting show.

            EXACTLY. The premise got me so hard. pre-TOS? low tech, high stress/stakes scifi? See the origins of Starfleet? delve into the founding races of the federation? Fuck yes!

            oh, wait. boring shit, irrelevant magic shit, new races we never heard of before or will see again and so on and so forth.

            Just… awful.

      THIS MEANS WAR!

      If there is one Star Trek that’s good its the original series and Enterprise
