I called Discovery “Woke Trek” after I saw their free teaser eps. I’ve never joined their pay service for that kind of shit.

Just watched an episode of "Enterprise" and the doctor fed a Tribble to one of his pets. Reminded me of feeding cows to Raptors.
And on the new movie's Bones was killing one to see if he could bring it back from the dead. Saved Kirk's life.
I mean really how horrible are these people?

Star Trek Picard season 3 sure seems a little like what is happening in this world. Episode 5 is interesting. A sinister power infiltrating Star Fleet (USA) at the top levels of command. Like the CCP, imo. Someone is embedding hints in the movies maybe?

I will say that the "Inner Light" episode, from Next Generation, is my favorite. It always seems to get the nod for best episode. I like most of the Borg episodes, too. I'm still a big fan of the original series. "My God Jim, I'm not a magician! I'm just a plain old country doctor."

Yup, and he was also Mr. Scotland and a competitor in the 1950 Mr. Universe contest in his early days. Sean in the middle shown below.

Don't follow Star Trek much but like the movie where the whales were trying to tell them to get back and save Earth's biosphere.
This season of Picard IMHO has been the best so far. That is if you can get past how stinking old they all are.
With the Doc, Picard's kid, Riker, Seven, and even the "kids" of some of the old timers like Geordie. Good story.
Adding: Worf aged out very nicely, thank you very much!
My faves..have to be TOS and TNG. Really sorta quit paying attention after that.

DS9 is still my favorite, particularly after it discovered its stride as a World War II allegory. Those last few seasons when it was all-Dominion-all-the-time were really the best of DS9. Making the Ferengi into something real was terrific. I loved every Ferengi episode; wanted to see more of these strange little money-grubbing goblins trying to carry on in a post-scarcity universe.
Lower Decks, my second favorite, is Star Trek as a comedy, which I never imagined possible. And turning the Pakled into a viable threat was a stroke of utter mad genius.
Third favorite is Next Generation. Loads of great stuff. Picard is still the best captain ever. New worlds, new civilizations, and boldly going aplenty. Wesley can be forgiven. Maybe a smidge too much facile technobabble to solve a problem; how often did they solve something basically by muttering a lot of science words and then doing something they'd never actually do again in the series? Like bringing Geordi and Ro Laren back into phase?
Prodigy is interesting. It's Trek for kids, yet it does fairly well for adults. A good family Trek, which is by itself a novel idea. A lot of unanswered questions as yet, but some good ideas, and it might turn out nicely.
Strange New Worlds is doing all right, so far. I look for the tragedy of woke to slip in at some point, but I don't remember a lot of it after the first season. Nice effects, interesting plots--the Gorn? Novel!--and Christopher Pike doesn't do half bad as a white-guy captain. It's amazing they didn't make him gay or something.
Picard fared pretty well. An alternate universe plot for most of the second season? I wasn't sure if this was the Mirror Universe or just A mirror universe, but it did all right. First season wasn't great, second season picked up nicely.
Enterprise was honestly kind of a dark horse, but it was interesting to get a sense of Starfleet just starting out. Back before every problem could be solved by bouncing a graviton particle beam off the main deflector dish, this was Starfleet by the seat of its pants. A real frontier spirit, making do and really going boldly.
Voyager tried...but it just couldn't fire. Sure, the Krenim were novel enough, and this much Borg can never be a bad move. But it depended way too much on scientific phenomena as the bad guy, and I couldn't get behind it. Most of the crew was unlikable, from the Paris-and-Kim-Show to Admiral Insaneway, who made sense running some nobody-cares science vessel off in the hinterlands, but not someone you wanted to follow from week to week.
The Original Series had some high points, but man, it aged poorly. Half the sets were cardboard and most of them had William Shatner's teeth marks in them. Like Voltaire said: "What is with the Klingons? Remember in the day, they looked like Puerto Ricans and they dressed in gold lame. Now they look like heavy metal rockers from the dead! With leather pants and frizzy hair and lobsters on their heads."
Discovery was nothing but a constant rolling dumpster fire of disappointment. The most beautiful effects I'd ever seen squandered on gay weddings and a Girl Named Michael. Life wasn't easy for a boy named Sue, but a girl named Mike made things bad for EVERYBODY. Not even the Mirror Universe could save this slop. And I can't make it through the fourth season, which is basically the Everybody Goes To Therapy arc.
I think that covers the list.

Original show for me as well. To me Picard acted like a dead fish or they had him acting like a pharaoh or something, stuffed shirt. Dh growls when he even gets a glimpse of the guy, lol.
The imagination for it and acting got worse and worse.
We watched the other offshoots but they just weren't as good and a couple of them ended really lamely.
The movies, oh my goodness the kids watched the Wrath of Khan so many times I think we all knew it by heart.
There my 2 cents.

All of the older franchises had some great episodes but this particular one stands out with me.
DS-9 In The Pale Moonlight, Season 6
Garak’s brilliance brings the reluctant Romulans into the Dominion War with some master spy craft. He reminds Sisko that he was unwilling to get his hands dirty, that’s why you called on me..
Graython Tolar was a great character

I liked TOS because that was my time. Could not stand Next Gen. Thought Picard would break out in Hamlet at any time. Hated it. Janeway=no way. Deep space 9 - forget it. Enterprise-never saw it until last year. I love it. I watch it every night on H&I on Dish and it is a great show. If you dont like Enterprise you haven't watched it enough to know the characters. A fantastic series.
I'll be in the minority with this opinion, but my favorite is Enterprise. I'm sure it has more to do with the state of mind I was in at the time of airing, but it was a welcome intrusion to my home that helped me at the time.
Re-watching it many years later, I can't really get into the show itself, but it rekindles the safe feeling it somehow gave me at the time.
It may not make sense, but it is what it is.
ETA: Funny that this post falls just below someone that liked the show as well.

Star Trek Picard, they got rid of Data and Q in season 1 and 2. I think by the end of season 3 Picard will also be gone and there will be a final ending to the crew from Next Generation. I think Picard's new found son is being groomed for a spin off after Patric Stewart ends his series. Maybe Star Trek Son of Picard. There is a new Star Trek 4 with Chris Pines coming out. They shelved the 4th movie when the sales numbers went south. Around the time there was all the other scifi films competing for dollars. I'm glad they are making another one, but not sure what they will do about the loss of Anton Yelchin.
Star Trek Strange New Worlds is also under rated, although a bit woke. Still a good series but season 2 we have to wait until fall, iirc.

I love the DS9 Vic Fontaine episodes. They’re a real treat.
That was actually answered in a Voyager episode, as well as the DS9 ep “Trials and Tribblations”

I think I remember the DS9 ep. Wasn't that just Worf muttering "we don't talk about that"?
And Voyager...I thought it was a big thing on Enterprise.
You’re right! Phlox was kidnapped by Klingons and taken to a lab where they’d been trying to copy Dr. Sung’s augment experiments. Undoing the effects changed the “heavy metal” Klingons to the “puerto rican” Klingons.
Worf saying they don’t talk about it was in “Trials and Tribblations”. That was a fantastically done episode, blending TOS and DS9.

Yep, that's it! I always that was weird. Most of Klingon science is trying to find better ways to kill things. Genetic experimentation seems "beneath" Klingons, somehow.
