Difference of opinion is what makes the world go round. And sometimes come to a screeching halt!
But you know what? Enough about the differences because despite those, we actually do have some things in common. We're not too huge on the 24th Century, for one thing. We defend our series tooth and nail, for another. We've both had to deal with TOS Purists and Canonheads who get bent out of shape over prequels and how it all lines up.
For me Scott Bakula looks like young and lean version of Gene Roddenberry. It may be only my impression, but who knows...
I definitely think DSC could benefit from slowing down a bit and not constantly rushing from one place to the next at top speed, but I still find it a whole lot more engaging to watch than VOY and ENT, which seemed incredibly stale and formulaic to me even back then. And the fact it's a more serialized storyline where things don't magically reset at the end of every episode and character actions have consequences down the line makes it lightyears better to me as well.
It's definitely not at the level of the first three series in my book, but it's much better written and a huge step up from the overly simplistic Abrams movies, which I'm really grateful for.

Only by virtue of the fact that I could watch "Broken Bow" and then "Terra Prime" and feel like I didn't miss a whole lot.
FTFY
Um, no. I refused to watch These are the Voyages. When I heard Riker was on it I was out.
What does a bad TNG episode have to do with Enterprise?
Even as a non-fan of ENT, I can see that "Terra Prime" is the finale. Humanity had a choice between xenophobia or becoming part of something bigger, founded upon respect, cooperation, and collaboration. Xenophobia lost.
It is one of the best in Star Trek, period.

I love the TOS uniforms! The rest of the other series and especially ENT and DSC not so much! The originals are like you say comfortable looking where the jumpsuits and shoulder pad jobs aren't! Butt he Garage mechanic and glittersuits are just awful!

ENT uniforms are my favorite. They pretty much look like what early shuttle crews wore.I love the TOS uniforms! The rest of the other series and especially ENT and DSC not so much!

Before DSC the only Starfleet uniforms I actively disliked or never cared for were the TMP designs, the "All Good Things...(TNG)"/"The Visitor(DS9)"/"Endgame(VOY)" uniforms from the 2390s-2400s and the 29th century uniforms seen in "Relativity(VOY)."
The TNG pajama uniforms from Seasons 1 and 2 not as vociferously as I once did but they're still among my least-favorite. They don't look as bad on background officers and extras as they do on the series' main characters.

"Micro-mini" like in TOS could be comfortable too. If girls have a choice, not all of them decline pretty dresses.
My respect to TOS for their universal orthopedic heels! Other series showed boots without heels, or enormous heels for women only.
You know what astronauts and pilots wear in real life, right?I love the TOS uniforms! The rest of the other series and especially ENT and DSC not so much!

Obviously very uncomfortable clothing. We don't want them to be comfortable doing these dangerous jobs, right?

Just out of curiously, is there any single thing in the trek pantheon you don't think that TOS did best?
I think TOS did it best, by a fairly large margin versus what came late. Of course, my formative years were during a time when TOS was the only game in town.
