Well, that's a blessing at least. It was painful watching the butchering of Star Trek over the last decade.

  I consider Picard Season 2 the worst season of TV ever made.

  Being at least average and not shit

    To be honest, I'm not sure to what degree my reaction to increasingly random dips into recent Trek has been around them just not being that good as a whole vs. just being tired of the franchise after many decades at this point.

      The thing is Lower Decks exist. And is good. So there are people that can make good trek, they just are not given access to the live action stuff.

        It's different. I'd probably hesitate to use the term "good" even if maybe better than some of the more recent live action I've seen overall.

  I could ask for them not to show graphic torture onscreen, yuck. Decided to skip Picard once I heard about that.

Noooo Strange New Worlds was the best thing that ever happened to trek

  Lower Decks is so good too.

  The current season has been rather divisive, to say the least. I mean some of these episodes currently have IMDB ratings in the mid 4's to mid 5's range out of 10: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt12327578/episodes/?season=4 https://www.imdb.com/title/tt12327578/episodes/?season=4 Personally I didn't hate the gimmick episodes, but enjoying them sort of requires no longer taking the show seriously at all.

    Eh, I mean TNG, which is probably the best-regarded series, had its fair share of duds, and not just in the not-very-good first season. In particular, I am thinking of the episode where Data's cat turned into a lizard. > A transporter malfunction turns most of the crew into puppets while Spock fights to reclaim the ship.

      The difference is the sheer number of gimmick episodes: so far half the episodes this season fall into that category. Did you actually watch that puppet episode you're quoting? Gimmick aside, it had one of the dumbest endings of any Star Trek episode I can think of.
      - rsynnott 11d ago
        Nope; haven’t seen any of this series. The streaming situation for it, at least in this country, is a bit of a mess. But it sounds from the description like a do-over of the cat lizard episode, more or less.
