        Never liked VOY, writing is poor… Not interesting sci-fi like TNG, not a captivating story like DS9…
        The Doctor is essentially the only good part. Maybe Seven of Nine, Jery Ryan is a great actress, despite the embarrassing clothing.

        SNW is good, DIS is whack. PIC essentially crapped all over the past series’ development, killed Hugh, Ro, Icheb, made the Federation grimdark… Monk Worf was cool tho.

          Voyager’s writing is inconsistent. There’s some fantastic episodes… and then there’s salamanders.

            True, but the feeling is that in general Voyager was hard to watch.

            I rewatched TNG and DS9 several times from start to finish and almost skipped no episodes (though in later rewatches of DS9 I’m skipping the alternate universe ones since I can’t bear them). I tried rewatching VOY and I just can’t. Sure I can rewatch some of the awesome episodes from the show, but I can’t watch it from start to finish since I find most episodes to be cringey (even if I like most of the actors and their characters, but something doesn’t work when watching entire episodes).

            Unrelated: I watched DIS until it was on Netflix (and deemed it an action TV series that’s got nothing to do with Star Trek) and watched only a few episodes of PIC until it turned into the “fellowship of the ring” with the introduction of a sword wielding elf. Should I squeeze my nose and dive into it again and try to finish it?

            I’ll watch SNW as soon as I can. Still haven’t gotten around it

              Discovery started off as an action show, then suddenly added 10 minute long unrelated montages in the middle of action scenes. That killed it for me.

              VOY episodes just leave you with nothing. Sure, stuff happened, but… you feel like it doesn’t matter. It’s sad because they had the chance to really make something cool, 5-year-exploration missions pale in comparison to travelling back from the other side of the galaxy.

              You can watch the last season of PIC, it’s essentially a noir-action show in a scifi setting, but… WATCH SNW NOW!

              TNG I would skip most of Season 1 and probably a decent chunk of Season 2 on a rewatch.

      This is the good take. Star Trek peaked at DS9 and there’s yet to be a good reason to continue past it.

          Ah yes, “my opinion is infallible and I’m righteous for screaming it from the rooftops, but your opposing opinion is ignorant and worthy of dismissal!”

          Red flag indeed, friend.

      As long as you don’t take every available opportunity to steer every single online conversation towards how you don’t like a tv show then we’re cool

          But they did share it and were cool about it. It’s people who say stuff like “this is shit and people who like it are shit” that need to cool their jets.
