“Life forms. You precious little lifeforms. You tiny little lifeforms. Where are you?”

I agree he’s not the best Captain Kirk, but I did enjoy his performance in the time travel episode (might have just been the writing and La’an performance like you said, though).
Now what we need is more George Samuel leaving crumbs. I mean, the dude’s only got 8 years or so live… Give our boy some screen time!

Part of me is like, “Seriously! Mire multiverse stuff! Can we take a break, please?”, while the other half of me is like, “If it’s as good as LD or PRO multiverse stuff, I’ll take it!”
I am a bit worried about the fourth wall breaking stuff, but I wonder if they’re doing a Benny Russell “dreamer and the dream”-type thing, which might be fun.
The Clue episode looks fun. The trailer makes it look like this season is 75% quasi-holodeck episodes, which would be quite funny but is probably not the cases.

- Comment on Second Wave Of Nacelle Star Trek Figures Includes ‘Generations’ Kirk, Sailor Worf And Geordi, And More 1 day ago:
I admit that overall, I would call TOS films the better series of Trek films - Search for Spock and Final Frontier are probably the only ones I wouldn’t rewatch, meaning 2/3 overall of the TOS films are actually enjoyable in my opinion. In comparison, I am not a fan of half the TNG movies (NEM and Insurrection).
However, I disagree with lumping all the Next Generation movies as “completely null”; First Contact was at least reasonably fun. My biggest complaint might be the Guinan snub for Barclay.
Meanwhile, I feel like Generations is the rare Star Trek film that really just feels like a 2 hour episode (with TMP and maybe Voyage Home the only two other ones like it). I enjoyed the mortality commentary (almost worth the sacrifice of Picard’s entire family, but not quite), while nothing strikes me as more classically Star Trek than campily choreographed fight scenes between a bunch of old men. I also personally enjoyed Data’s arc - I feel like they made sure when it got annoying, it was purposeful, and they dialed it back right when they needed to.
Overall, I don’t think it’s fair to lump the first two TNG films into the bottom 5 like their later counterparts (which do deserve it); Generations probably joins Voyage Home for my favorite Trek films to rewatch.

I love Generations. Now disliking V is something I could get behind.

- Comment on Kate Mulgrew: Janeway's Star Trek Return is "Being Pursued" | TrekCulture 4 weeks ago:
Just give us Prodigy S3. Granted, we’d have to see how they work it out, considering they’ve hit the Picard era.
Maybe we could just have a little “accident” where Admiral Janeway is visiting the Protostar when they all get whisked into the 2430s and can’t return so they don’t have to deal with Picard crap. It wouldn’t be as radical of a future as Discovery - we’ll just have a nice, peaceful era with only the occasional threat. The Protostar has some new worlds to explore, while Janeway struggles to reintegrate into Starfleet and catches up with her still-surviving friends, probably including elderly Mr. Tysess and Tuvok (who, even with conservative estimates, probably still have 3 decades ahead of them) as well as the Doctor.
Besides potentially being able to do TNG monster of the week, you’ve got at least 1 free episode plot for checking in on Solum. Besides having some plot on thea now non-destroyed Solum, we could have Ilthuran’s reaction to being reunited with Gwyn after decades as well as, at a minimum, a bit of comedy from a nice, non-fascist Ascencia (It would be even funnier if this Ascenscia at one point became a legit Starfleet officer).

Note: In a few of these, I have multiple images of what I consider to be the main variants, which I would say are S1 E15 version, S1 E19 version, S2 E5/E9 version, and S2 E14 onward.

Some of the early episodes are important in my opinion but a little rough at times.
Once you hit season 2, there is rarely a bad episode - they’re all at the very least funny, except for “A Mathematically Perfect Redemption”, which is just the most brutal form of torture and an experiment in anti-storytelling. .
- Comment on Which shows are worth watching? 4 weeks ago:
Not totally right. Strange New Worlds, Lower Decks, and Prodigy are all decent. TOS is also worth a watch with an episode list, and TAS has a few good ones as well.
Discovery, in my opinion, isn’t as bad some say either. It’s hardly peak Star Trek, but I’ve found I enjoy it sometimes.
As others have set, Lower Decks is not the first show you should watch though - it’s more enjoyable after watching everything. Also, both Lower Decks and Prodigy, I’d recommend watching through the first 10 or so episodes before making a judgement - the first few episodes aren’t their best. Lower Decks is often funny and at least once a season (from season 2) puts out a masterpiece that belong with the best of Trek. I’d say the top/my favorite LD episodes are (in no particular order):
- S1 E8 "Veritas"
- S2 E5 “An Embarrassment of Dooplers” (I hate the Dooplers, but everything else about that episode is solid)
- S2 E9 "Wej Duj"
- S2 E10 "First Contact"
- S3 E1 "Grounded"
- S3 E5 "Reflections"
- S3 E6 "Hear All, Trust Nothing"
- S3 E8 "Crisis Point 2: Paradoxus"
- S4 E4 "Something Borrowed, Something Green"
- S4 E6 "Parth Ferengi’s Heart Palace"
- S4 E9 "The Inner Fight"
- S4 E10 "Old Friends, New Planets"
- S5 E2 "Shades of Green"
- S5 E4 "A Farewell to Farms"
- S5 E6 "Of Gods and Angles"
- S5 E7 “Fully Dilated” (I think there were some things I wish this episode did better, but I still enjofed it.)
- S5 E9 “Fissure Quest”

Actually, Mirror Chakotay was depicted in Prodigy (along with mirror Janeway). He likes to torture people like any good Terrain boi.

I do admit that while I found the plot ridiculous, I did find the character’s story interesting. It’s hard to go wrong with holodeck episodes, honestly.
I though of an interesting story based on that where from childhood, someone accidentally lives an entire simulated life based on the real world 20-40 years in the past and becomes a Starfleet officer in the simulation (down to a fake 4 years at the Academy, maybe with holo Boothby). The holodeck then gets shut off by real Starfleet officers. Besides the obvious emotional story, it would also be interesting if the simulation was accurate enough that the person’s experience made the captain decide to make them a provisional officer at the end of the episode.
