You gotta take off the rose colored glasses and blinders
Gene did.
You got the years wrong:
Star Trek was 1966-1969, 1973-1975, and 1979-1991
The crappy Berman/Braga era 1987-2005 was where it went to 'not Star Trek'

Heck, even the Klingons sounded pretty contemporary sometimes: " a tin-plated dictator with delusions of godhood."
Tin-plated? And let's not forget:
"I'll bet you credits to navy beans we can put a dent in it!"
Star Trek has been dead since Robert April wasn't used in the original pilot episode. The purest vision Gene had was tossed out the airlock and such betrayal of the not-yet-existent fanbase should not have been tolerated.
No. The real Star Trek was the one from the 1920s. The one that Gene Roddenberry imagined when he was a kid, when he played make-believe.
So yes. The "real" Star Trek was "make believe". Even the one from 95 years ago.

It certainly feels inconsistent, but then so does every new addition to the franchise. And it isn't the same new high-concept sci-fi every week as the more episodic Trek's, and I kind of miss that. But I really just find myself enjoying the hell out of it. I think of it almost as its own alternate universe, as I think of most series and movies in the franchise. As I think of different episodes within series sometimes. They're only kinda fit in their own individually way. But I've watched each episode of PIC like 10 times now, which is more than I can say for DSC (which I like but can only watch once or twice) and ENT which I loathed, as I watched each and every episode.
Meh, kids these days with their epic story structures and fancy cuneiform. Back in my day real Star Trek was about mammoth hunters and could only be painted on cave walls! And with tested-and-true earth colors only, none of these demonic, gaudy plant- and snail-based blues and purples that fade from the rock in five years! It's not art, it's just mindless entertainment for the ignorant young'uns that don't even know how to make flint rock axes anymore!
I have to ask, if you didn’t want to start any discussion, why did you come to a discussion board and make a public post that starts a discussion. I think you did want to start a discussion and I think you wanted to share your dislike. Fair enough if you dislike it, you’re wrong about it not being Trek, no matter how good or bad it is, but you shouldn’t be dishonest about not wanting to start a discussion.
The good old times of stellar wwriting. THAT was Trek!

You're not the only one. I just recently went back and watched all of ENT and while I also remember liking season 4 the best at the time (not shocking since I didn't see most of seasons 2 or 3 back then), in hindsight it's really only the Vulcan/Andorian storylines from it that were actually worth watching. The rest was pretty bad actually. Especially the augment stuff, which I had enjoyed the first time around. These days I'd actually say ENT was at its best in season 2, though it wasn't exactly a high bar.
Same here. I didn't care much for season 4 back in the day already but these days, while I like the rest of ENT (season 2 is my fave also), season 4 just falls flat for me due to its excessive levels of obvious fan service. I liked that the show had found its unique way in season 3 (whether it's a good one or not is up to interpretation, of course) and I'm still disappointed that season 4 went back to "playing it safe" by basically doing the storylines the "why is ENT not trying to establish what's being said and done on TOS/other Trek" faction of the fandom demanded.
This forum has without a doubt the best Trek lit community on the web. The general science fiction and fantasy forum has been the first thing I look at in the morning for 15 years. More than enough to keep me coming back during the Star Trek drought of 2005 and 2017. (Yes, I know about the movies, they just didn't appeal to me, so they wouldn't have brought me back here if I had left.)If the OP really has an issue with Picard then he may be better off deleting his account.
That way he won't be tempted back, I deleted mine years ago although that was simply due to nothing Star Trek related being released and me having an almighty account cleanup, I hadn't used the account in ages.
I came close to doing so again but decided to wait and see about Picard first.
I am not a big forum camper like some of you are.
Yes.
