    I don’t watch NuTrek (other than lower decks). People tell me Strange New Worlds is good, but I was never that into TOS and I’ll be damned if I’m going through a singing episode.

      You simply cannot see the wisdom of Mahanit.

      I usually don’t like most singing episodes, but I liked the SNW one.

      I was also never into TOS but SNW is great.

      Lower Decks has become a comfort show.

      So far discovery has held my interest, but there are so so many problems I have while watching it… My head cannon is that it’s an alternate time line that diverged thousands of years ago.

      I don’t see myself watching Picard. I feel like Star Trek TNG left it at a good point with Insurrection (apologies to people who hated it, but it was my introduction to star trek and has a special nostalgia that I get to laugh about the terrible and/or poorly written parts)

      Also I pretend nemesis doesn’t exist.

        DISCO is confirmed as an alternate universe per LD.

        Edit: Insurrection is a great 2 part episode with a bigger budget.

          Damn, I totally forgot about that bit!

          Honestly I have only seen the final episode twice. I’ve seen all of season one about 10-13 times.

          That is a perfect description of Insurrection.

      I fast-forwarded through the singing episode, but the others were good. ESPECIALLY the lower decks crossover episode.

          Yeah I’ll be honest, I didn’t even give lower decks a chance until I saw that episode. Then I binge watched LD over the next couple days.

      The singing episode was great, personally was the second highest point SNW got to for me, behind the lower decks one.

        I had a flashback of a Discovery episode that ends with a party with loud music, and the final shot is of the entire ship, and the music could be heard muffled, from outside, Discovery playing disco music traveling in the vacuum.

        I swear they did shit like that just to piss off trekkies, they were too consistent to be random.
