The new versions of TREK drove me away from the franchise years ago -- after being a faithful viewer for 50 years.

@ChipmunkErnie Yes me too. I don't watch Discovery, Strange New Worlds, Lower Decks, or even Picard Season 1 and 2. But 3, 3 has been a nice call back to the TNG characters. It's giving them the send off they never got with Nemesis. Its decent telly, and its worth a watch.

@StyleCat The new shows just ruined the franchise for me. I gave Discovery a try for almost the full first season and just gave up. An episode or two of PICARD and I gave up. Frankly, though they're not technically great, the best "new" Trek I've seen are the various fan-created shows on Youtube.

@ChipmunkErnie Try Season 3, its a massive departure. Its a TNG show again.

@StyleCat Don't have access to it, as far as I know. Don;t you have to pay for that network?
StyleCat · M
@ChipmunkErnie I guess so.

@ChipmunkErnie wow you gave it more of a chance than I did. When voyager was still making new episodes there were times when I'd turn it on, middle of and episode and what they were talking about, never made any sense to me.

So one day I said, okay I'm going to give voyager a chance. I turned it on and it was already on. It went to commercial and the couple of minutes I had watched, was like listening to a foreign language.

So the commercial ended and the show came back on. It just never clicked with me, never made any sense, and I thought the premise of the show was dumb. It also felt like it was, Budget Trek. Like it was rushed and certain elements were quickly done rather than well, thought-out ideas and writing.

When it was on Netflix I did catch the Q episodes, the one where Tuvok kills Neelix, and the final episode. I also played the Star Trek voyager PC game, where you fight the Borg, forgot the name of it, but it was a good game I thought.
