   This looks terrible and not even worth pirating.

     I stopped watching Strange New Worlds when they injected that Jan 6th scene. I made it through season 1 of Picard (1/3 of it was pretty well written, 2/3 were just total fucking trash) and I think I made it to season 3 of Discovery and was amazed they were going to make another season.

     The only good Star Trek to come out in the past decade was Star Trek Lower Decks (yes, unironically). Unfortunately it only works for Trek fans. I don't think people will get half the jokes unless they've watched at least two of the originals (TOS/TNS/DS9..) It's over, but I'm glad it ended on a high note without going to shit.

     @djsumdog I'm excited for the revelation of method parts. Not really though. Strange New Worlds and the last season of Picard have been the only new ones that haven't reeked of woke political injection.

     I watched all of it as a kid. Recently I tried re-watching some .. eh ...it shows its age. It's tough for it to hold up after shows like the 2000s BattleStar ... I wonder how TNG would hold up .. haven't watched one of those in forever.

     @djsumdog Inject DS9 into your veins if you haven't. Easily best Trek series

     Yea .. DS9 had the whole occupation/colonizer thing, and they literally threw in the remnants of American Indians into the mix (cause they somehow still survive as a people group hundreds of years from now).
     
     At least Kirk was cow-boys in space. It reached an audience at a level they already knew and then added sci-fi plots on top of it.
     
     I should probably not rewatch any of it. It was nice in my memories, plus there's plenty of new stuff to read/watch.

     @djsumdog @Tadano I tried SG1 and TNG, and... they were bland, and full of, what I see now is just propaganda xD
     
     Very disappointing tbh

     @djsumdog @Tadano I should add, that I watched both of those religiously when I was younger.
     
     Didn't have to context back then, and they were a lot more enjoyable xD

     Same. I think I was in the 7th grade when Voyager came out. I remember us talking in class about the ship and the fold up nacelles. But I only watched the first season. It wasn't that great, and in retrospect, it's pretty silly.

     @djsumdog It's funny we have the opposite inclination. Couldn't stand Lower Decks turned it off after 15 minutes. SNW got better after that ridiculous J6 injection. I was so bothered by it too I wrote about it, https://open.substack.com/pub/starkweather/p/strange-new-visions?r=b925w&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=false

     Did your mama seriously paint this? That's like mum of the century right there.

     @melodiousowls @djsumdog Just watch DS9 starting from the beginning of the Dominion War arc and it's fine

     @djsumdog @Tadano I like straight laced silly.
     
     If the shows weren't just, empty shells to focus on propaganda then I am sure I would still enjoy them.
     
     Recently I re-watched the original Hellsing and the irregular at magic high, and enjoyed them just as much as the first time.
     
     G.I.T.S. the TV series, was as good as I remembered, but I didn't enjoy it, because it was sad D:
     
     TNG felt like watching fox news...

     @djsumdog Yes she did. Right around the time I started watching it. Even better, she made me a TNG era uniform in 4th grade for Halloween and I decided it was a good idea for picture day. I underestimated the amount of ridicule I would be subject to.
