  Totally agree, it’s definitely more Star Trek than any of the new Star Trek series.

    I'll defend Lower Decks and Strange New Worlds.

      Lower Decks is amazing. It’s up there with Futurama. It’s just damn good, even if you’re not a trek fan.

        Lower Decks is the entire reason I’ve even begun my Stat Trek adventure. I’d watch Trek occasionally whenever it was on TV, but now I’ve watched all of LD, DISC, SNW, TOS, the first 6 movies, 6 seasons of TNG, and 1 Season of ENT in like the past 2 months or so.

  When that second episode of the first season dropped I said the same thing to a friend that’s a die hard Star Trek fan. They weren’t enjoying the new Trek, yet, but wanted the thought provoking episodes now, action later/sprinkled in

  I heard the review “better Trek than Trek”.

    Held up against Discovery or JJ's movies? Absolutely better. But I don't think it's defensible to say it surpasses ALL of Trek.

      I think he aimed it at Discovery.

  People keep saying this, so as someone who has only watched half of the first season, when does it get to this point?

  I mean it’s amusing enough, but it’s just a pastiche of cliches and obvious gags. People keep saying that it distills Trek down to its essence or something like that, but to me it seems like “watered down” would be more accurate.

    Having a bad first season is as Star Trek as you can get. All kidding aside, it gets better and more serious with time.

    Just like TNG it starts picking up in the 2nd season and really hits its stride on the 3rd season. If you were to rewatch TNGs first season without the nostalgia goggles you’d consider it pretty campy too.

    For me it was really quick. S1E4, If the Stars Should Appear.

    After the first season it begins to feel a bit less campy and the crude humor is toned down a bit and even more so I feel by the third season. The overall plot starts to show itself in season 2 and just gets better from there.

      I saw a different season 3 I guess. The humor was gone but the kind and progressive approach to problems that I like about Trek was kinda gone too.
