"The Fight" is just pure....something. When even Ray Walston can't help an episode you know it sucks.
They're all really good except "Night in Sickbay", I like what it's trying to do but it just doesn't come off for me somehow - I think the Archer/T'Pol stuff repelled me a bit.
"Concerning Flight" is a bit rambling in terms of plotting but the finale where Janeway and Da Vinci take flight on the experimental glider is so joyous that it's hard not to end up loving the episode just for that.
Flint from TOS gets a reference along with Kirk in that episode so that's its claim to fame as far as I'm concerned.*

They did the breast they could.
The bat getting loose in Sickbay was the best thing about it. And even that doesn't help very much.
Bride of Chaotica was pretty bad. Voyager had some great great episodes but yes they had some stinkers that was one of them. SNW's A Space Adventure hour is pretty much the same story and sucked just as bad.
I loved "Bride of Chaotica" and hated "A Space Adventure Hour", so I suppose I perceived some difference in them.
Perhaps what really put me off about "A Space Adventure Hour" was that it was entirely self-referential and deeply concerned (as SNW so often is) with Star Trek's own cultural legacy, to the point of giving Gooding's character the gushing speech about the value of Star Trek, while BoC was just a Flash Gordon pisstake that didn't have any pretensions beyond offering 45 minutes of fun.
I do sort of chuckle at Anson's holographic character having such a resemblance to Brannon Braga that part of me wondered if it was an unspoken dig at the Berman Era.
Wait until Kartzman is gone. They'll be sharpening the knives like Bugs Bunny, especially if we enter a Trek Drought. I can already see it "The Man Who Killed Gene's Dream" or some such trash.
TOS has many things in common with SNW that other Trek shows fail at.
Almost as many as TOS, in fact.
Well yeah, because TOS parodies made more of an effort to match the look of the show.
It is very interesting the person you are responding to calls himself a "paid Paramount plant" lmfao
What I particularly appreciate is the realistic variety in the landing parties......most notably in Act One of THE SQUIRE OF GOTHOS. I got quickly weary with Season Three's never-ending Kirkspockenmccoy beach-party combo.
Like John Ritter in the little-seen trailer for REAL MEN, I think it's sexier what you can't see.
Yes, that's making fun of the kind of dim trolls who back in the day used to insinuate that people who liked some shows were studio plants.
Is it time to put Star Trek to rest? No, thanks.
Of course Star Trek has gone the Star Wars way. Poor Roddenberry.
My daughter just asked me, papa? Why do you like Picard so much? I told her, not just Picard. Spock too. And Major Kira Nerys. Hmm .. she said.
I'll be like Nerys. Fierce. Loving. Tragic.
We connect on Star Trek. Please don't give it up.

I certainly don't think some segments of the fandom deserve their Legacy show, after some of the behaviour i've seen online about SFA (not on here, but on other sites i've seen some pretty toxic things said about SFA and its young cast).
All the toxicity i've seen online lately is very tiring, and maybe it is time for Trek to go away for a few years and refresh.

If Star Trek has gone the Star Wars way, it's not because of those who love it. And still do. I raise you a "Measure of a Man" and show me anything better in Star Wars. Or even half as good. Show me a Nerys, Quark, Mariner, Phlox, EMH, and especially Weyoun/Shran/Brunt. And these are specifically supporting characters.I am beginning to think the franchise has nothing left to really offer. Well for me at least. Out of all the live action stuff over the last 7 or 8 years. Most of it has been pretty bland/bad to me. With maybe a season and a half of Disco, 1 season of SNW and 1 season of Picard. That I enjoyed to varying degrees.
Everything else I have not really enjoyed. Lower decks was just too inane for me. Only watched one ep of prodigy and they took it off streaming.
Lots of missteps imo the last 8 years. But it just seems like the franchise has run out of steam. I constantly find myself watching the older stuff or finding new scifi fantasy shows that offer something a bit different and unique. Or just plain watching more non scifi stuff now.
But after almost 50 years of some type of Trek in production almost every year (except maybe between Enterprise and the 2009 film) it's gotten pretty stale to me. There are almost 1000 episodes of Trek not to mention like 14 movies.
Many its just my age. Idk.....
But getting old doesn't explain why I love Star Wars Andor...
I have nothing against Star Wars. Or The Expanse. Battlestar... Lots of amazing sci-fi we have now. But Trek started it all. It's the Sherlock of sci-fi. No wonder Data.
Getting old is an unavoidable fact. But it doesn't explain how my nieces tell me: Odo is just so cool! A liquid person!
