As an ENT fan, excellent choices 👌

I think the mirror universe arc was the best.

As someone who enjoyed S1 the most, I completely agree. The closest trek yet came to “prestige” and then it slipped away :(

“The house I grew up in was built by the Dublin Corporation,” Meaney says.

“How could we build houses then and can’t build them now?.. It’s fking Thatcherism, Reaganism, the neoliberals and the trickle-down economy that Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael both bought into, [the idea] that the market will sort everything out. B***ocks.”

Our boy doesn’t hold back and I’m here for it!

Archer did nothing wrong

As an Archer fan… bwahaha. He knew it was wrong, there’s too much dialog around suspending moral codes and the like.

Eg one of my fave episodes Harbinger:

PHLOX: Captain, this man is dying a painful death. To keep him conscious is unethical.

ARCHER: Until I get the answers I need, we’re going to have to bend a few ethics.

PHLOX: Very well, I’ll do what I can.

Gimme those guest stars from ntsf:SD:SUV:: 🤞

DAX: I hope you’re not holding back because I’m a woman. If it makes things any easier, think of me as a man. I’ve been one several times.

think of me as a man. I’ve been one several times.

We could do this all day, I just reached for this example because of my recent run Gowron of episodes 🖖

Oh, this definitely includes Renegades 👌

If you do that you miss much of the best Trek villains:

Kai Wynn and Gul Dukat

They are part of reason folks are advising you to hang in there.

But ultimately just enjoy it and skip any episode that is boring you; if you make it halfway you’ll probably want to watch the few relevant ones you skipped.

p.s. Buckle up 🖖

Enterprise all the way.

It starts strong with lots human/vulcan conflict and then eases into 2 seasons of TNG-style adventures.

Season 3 is an imperfect masterpiece that ultimately delivers some incredible episodes. This is where Enterprise comes into its own.

Season 4 is more like a collection of 3-parters that sees the crew touch on all the lore they missed in the first 3 seasons. Satisfying but a different vibe.

Highlights include:

• Captain Archer feuding with Duras
• Dr Phlox improving every episode he appears
• Lt Reed vs Major Hayes
• Grapplers!

Low points include:

• Decontamination
• Archer/Tpol tension
• Cogenitor episode
• The finale

Came here to mention La Sirena from Picard.

Hologram bridge crew with fully hologram passenger quarters, the introverts starship par excellence 👌

Quick someone animate it for the masses, for the children, for me!

It’s a matter of opinion of course, but to me Picard 1/2 suffers the same malady as S31: “all we need is a big star to sell our franchise”

Season 3 felt to me like the owners of the franchise desperately trying to salvage the final season from Patrick Stewart’s meddling.

As for Kirk’s stories you’re right he’s done if not already overdone, at least as a main character. Who knows how he may work as a supporting character 🤷‍♀️

If Kirk is going to come back, it has to mean something. It has to be the show. But I was so impressed by this writer, so I said let’s talk after I’m done in Vancouver.

He had me in the first half, but thankfully this doesn’t sound like another vanity project ala Picard S1/S2 🤞

That was an interesting watch. Glad someone is making shorts they think are fun to make, it’s refreshing.

And in future news 😉

I have no idea, but I hope so haha

Buffertime episode was the one where I became hooked.

The show consistently delivered until the very end, at least for me.

My only petty gripe is when I recently rewatched an episode: Riker comments about seeing Archer and the gang in the holodeck and now that I’ve seen ENT…I don’t want to be reminded of the finale. I told you it was petty!

5 seasons and a movie, make it so!

I am now more impressed at what Lower Decks did with fewer, shorter episodes a season than Discovery.

Well said, I can’t help but agree.

I’m part of the sad cohort that liked S1 the most, so I envy those for whom the show got better. Yall got a much better ride.

…all estimates to date project that the series will debut on Paramount+ sometime in 2026. In the meantime, the show has already been renewed for a second season of production.

Glad they believe in it enough to want a second season.

Now I wait until 2026 to see Parrises squares onscreen at last 🙏
