What we have today masquerading as Star Trek is cheap, low effort garbage that tries to make up for it by wasting its budget on as much off the shelf CGI sparkles that can be thrown at
Strange new worlds is good though. And it’s “true trek”. You know, with more than 1 character doing all the things. A full diverse crew with diverse skills working together to solve issues and having fun.
After Discovery and Picard, it’s really refreshing. And even though it’s reusing old characters, it’s not in your face constantly the nostalgia.
I stand by SNW and LD. Strange New Worlds is a solid return to form and Lower Decks was the kitschy fan service with a lot of heart that I needed after some horrendously bleak years in real life near the end of the 2010s and through the pandemic.
I think both are doing a good job of keeping up with the times as past series have done when they aired. Cannot make it through Discovery, though. That one just did not grab me, despite me wanting it to and giving it multiple shots because I was stoked for Michelle Yeoh and Doug Jones.
