    I really feel like all the TNG content as of late has felt so recycled and fan service without bringing much to the table. Trek is always the best when it is commentary on an optimistic view of humanity told on the stage of space exploration and geopolitics. “Borg changelings…but different Borg than the Borg we did last season or the season before that” isn’t it. Also, Trek always balanced stakes so well…either the ship or the planet they were on was at risk, or maybe a tense situation with a known galactic enemy, but galaxy-extiction events were rare and built up to. We are now 3 for 3 of galaxy ending events that were only averted by having one decrepid old celebrity in the right place and time…it’s lost me.
