    Season 7 was a dumping ground for older ideas to pad it out.

    Thine Own Self

    Masks

    Genesis

    Emergence

    So much fodder.

        A brick in a sock is better trek than any nu trek.

        lower decks and prodigy are both good. Whoevers doing the live action should hire their writers.

          I love all the New Trek. It’s by no means perfect, but I absolutely love it. It resonates with me better than TOS ever did, for example.

          TNG was great, as long as you ignored the first season and most of the last. I loved DS9 and Voyager back then, and like with TNG, I find it a bit challenging to watch these days: I struggle with all the sexism etc. permeating those series. I know it was crazy progressive back then, and we all needed to evolve as a society—yet, I still cringe at it whenever I see it, even while keeping an open mind about “how it was in the old days”. Don’t get me wrong here, I truly respect the old series, but it does feel dated.

          They attempted to rectify everything and everyone’s reputation through the new series like Picard, which I appreciate.

          I still much prefer watching reruns of new trek over the old ones. Even though I did come back to older series from time to time.
