I recently saw Star Trek Picard, the first season was okey, season 2 was awful, the season 3 was nice.

Acording some critics last Discovery season is bad, so now I’m afraid of looking a series who has a bad ending, it worth to watch or is as painful as Picard Season 2? Or I should watch Strange New Worlds and Enterprise instead?

    I agree Discovery over Enterprise.

    It’s hard to hold up the show that showed our first hero captain in the franchise not only condoning but choosing torture as an alternative as being ‘more optimistic’ or ‘more in line with Star Trek’s aspirational vision.’

    Then there’s its sharp retrograde to bro culture.

    BTW I’m almost as longtime a fan as possible.

    My first episode was TOS ‘Devil in the Dark’ on the day it first broadcast in Canada in early 1967.

    Since then, I have seen every episode in first run the week it aired EXCEPT when Enterprise went off the rails after 9/11, trying to be an apologia for the appalling reaction of the US which suddenly condoned torture and violations of the international rules based order.

      Well said, Enterprise is my least favorite… until Season 4 which I consider to be some of my favorite Star Trek.

      But same goes for Discovery! I appreciated what they were trying to do but it didn’t click with me. And then seasons 4 and 5 I consider to be some of Trek’s best.
