    Enterprise was a bit of a mess, but you gotta hand it to wardrobe: utilitarian jumpsuits was a great call for the prequel.

      All the props and staging was incredible too, it’s the best Star Trek appearance-wise imo. It all just looks much more real and believable than the rest.

        I agree with one exception; use of an IR thermometer as a prop. It’s so obviously what it is that it makes me laugh every time they use it. And for some reason they use it as like their omni-screwdriver so it’s in every other episode.

        One of the only other props that I can think of that is as egregious is there’s one episode of TNG where Alexander has this toy that is so obviously an off the shelf Speak n’ Spell type thing that’s upside down.

        I personally struggled to get over the sex-kitten treatment of T’Pol. Seven of Nine was bad enough…

          A lot of people did, Rick Berman being thirsty and assuming all the viewers were too is literally the main reason that Terry Farrell left DS9.

            I don’t mean to excuse Berman in any way whatsoever, but to be fair, Trek has always been thirsty even since TOS because of Roddenberry himself.

              For example, Roddenberry wanted Troi to have three or four breasts.

      3rd season shouldve been just a subplot and not the whole season. start with the romulan war/ incursion rather than teasing it,.
