I've heard encouraging things about 'Enterprise' from a couple of people I respect.

B5 is a good show, and the main arc is awesome, but budget isn't close to being its main problem. Standalone episodes tended to be very weak. The quality of dialog is extremely spotty and most of their attempts at humor were sophomoric. Other than the excellent main arc, the show was average at best.
I absolutely fully intend to and have promised to. In fact hubby is going away for a while so I just might get that boxed set and binge watch.

I've just never been able to get through season 1 of B5. I've been tempted to tough it out, but so many people say that the final season is weak and that is kind of a dealbreaker for me with a highly serialized story.
B5 was good , but ...
1. Acting was wooden.
2. Dialogue was generally stilted.
3. Stories could be a forced march.
4. Primitive computer graphics were overused.
And the arc was fine, but Peter Jackson ended up doing it better.
Now if there had been a G'Kar-Londo road movie. ...
I started watching B5 twice. The second time I forced myself to watch through season 2 before I stopped. The characters were stereotypes, the acting generally poor, the humor wasn't especially funny. Some good ideas for an arc, but someone else should have carried them out.
It's like gambling in a casino, the trick is knowing when to stop.
In season five, when John Sheridan becomes the President of the Interstellar Alliance, and Elizabeth Lochley replaces him as the station's third commander, stop.
I've heard the same about STD, but I'm still not convinced.
I don't think you'll ever be convinced as long as you call it that, instead of DSC or DISCO.
As an example, as long as you call people deragotary names, it cleary indicates that you're not willing to examine their merits objectively. History is filled with instances of that.
Seeing as how it's just a TV series and not a person or people then I'd say each to their own.
The only thing I didn't like about B5 was the budget.
Gowron??? A great villain??? Gowron's villainy falls more into comic relief; his decisions are strategically stupid beyond belief. I think Gowron made a great ally in TNG than a great villain in Star Trek.
I've seen some people that love the show call it 'STD'. Not sure if you're serious?
I am not sure if YOU are serious. STD? really? It would like calling DS9, DS NEIN...
Or if you said TNA instead of TNG.
Except that STD is a valid abbreviation of Star Trek: Discovery.
It's also a valid abbreviation of Sexually Transmitted Disease. Who'd want to be associated with that?
Ask the people who created the show. They are the one's who named it.
And STD stands for more than just 'Sexually Transmitted Disease'.

Life goes on.
Discovery isn't a "people."
