I personally say if it's not on the Enterprise (Whichever version) it's not for me
That said, DS9 was a good show and encompassed the ideals of Trek with a more sustained leaning into politics. Rather than going boldly it let things come to it. A nice pivot. Voyager was crap and there's no telling me otherwise -

I never watched all of the Trek episodes after TNG. I read Trekonimics and Star Trek Ethics books which have me a new appreciation about what each series was trying to accomplish and what the characters' motivations were. I plan to watch Discovery, DS9, Voyager and Enterprise to see what I missed.
Whew! I'm going to be busy. -

I didn't like season one of STD but I also remembering not liking season 1 of TNG and so stuck it out. By the end of season 2 it is very clear that the writers had backed themselves into a corner and were going to have to try and retcon everything they had done.
So while season 3 onwards might be the best show there is, it was a house built on sand and sadly I already know what happens to houses like that -

This new series feels like a Gene series. And I'm willing to watch past Trek series and episodes to understand the messaging better.
Yeah, this show feels so incredibly "Star Trek". It's wearing it's love of the franchise and it's legacy on it's sleeve. I think Tawney Newsome (who loves Star Trek) being in the writer's room doesn't hurt
You're from the future?Well that's brilliant!Do they still have sandwiches there? -

You mean to say that all the Star Trek fans up until recently were wrong about why they loved Star Trek?
These lifelong fans were wrong about Star Trek for 50 years and it's only recently that liberals are showing us the true meaning of Star Trek? Woke DEI is the message of Star Trek?
I suppose it's possible but could liberals possibly be any more arrogant?
