ngl, the show picks up. At first you get those “MURRICA” vibes and recoil like “plz not in star trek”. But then… it gets so much better.
In fact, gonna piss off a few of you with this one, but Enterprise is much better than Discovery or even Picard once it picks up.
I find Discovery and Picard to be a departure from the daring production, direction and storytelling that made Star Trek… well, Star Trek. Some might say “that was the point”, but was the point also to do the paint-by-numbers Hollywood remake bullshit that’s been blasting out of cinemas the passed, oh I don’t know… DECADE?!?
Anyways, slow start, but it picks up and adds valiantly to the Star Trek canon…
I haven’t rewatched any Enterprise except the mirror duology since first run, but I really never got the hate people had for it. I think I always thought it was pretty good. I don’t know if I’d say it was better than Voyager overall, I think my main ding was what I think is a stupid idea of a prequel. But take that out of it, and I’d think they were even. I used to think they were tied for the bottom two, but Discovery and Picard have really lowered my opinion of what bad Trek can be, so Voyager and Enterprise look a lot better by comparison lol.
Ngl, Voyager is a banger. Does it drag on here and there? Yes. But my gawd is it good. Like my favourites list is kind of borked to some people, but for me it’s:
DS9
Voyager
Next Generation, and
Enterprise.
Prodigy ends up as an honourable mention, and the rest of the modern shows end up as dishonourable finger pointing. Even “Lower Decks” had me thinking it was just another cash grab, which sucks, because I’m sure the writers and actors are trying their best.
But yet, I’m still counting the months until I’ve forgotten most of the shows so I can go back AND BINGE THAT SHIT AGAIN!! In fact, chronologically, based on the timeline.
Maybe we could have a schedule here on this community about when we’re going to watch which season of which show and have discussions about it, so we can stay in sync :D
I just started watching during covid. I mean I caught episodes my dad had on as a kid in syndication but never watched anything through because Netflix and the like didn’t exist.
Having gone through enterprise, ds9 and next gen and starting voyager now. So far my ranking is
SNW
Enterprise
Ds9
Next generation
Voyager
Somewhere down the list is Picard which just seems like a cocked up reunion series that made little sense.
Honestly 1-3 could almost be in any order, I really like SNW so far minus the doctors kid episode. Next generation is good for the competence porn and worf just being an idiot tho.
I understand that this is not really a majority opinion. Enterprise was awesome in that it seemed the most realistic. Replicators werent really a thing. They didnt trust those transport beams and used shuttles and actually had to wear pressure suits and helmets. Same with SNW.
Next Generation and the like was just crazy in that every dang away mission planet just so happened to have a gas mix of 70% N, 21% O2 and the rest CO2 and inert gases at like exctly 1atm (or at least a mixture within those norms)
