So Chakotay's working on his second martini,
Kim is sipping red wine, doctors got water,
the pilot guy has a vodka tonic, and Neelix (?) with white wine?

Upon further analysis, there must be a person missing from this picture - the person taking the picture.

Who could it be?

If you magnify and enhance on the window reflection, I think you'll find the answer.

Oh, put that thing away, Samurai. We all know what's going to happen. You'll swing your sword, I'll fly away, and probably say something like, "I'll be back, Samurai!" And then I'll flutter over the horizon and we probably won't see each for... about a week. And then we'll do the same thing again.

All treks are super bad

Tos and tng just managed to ride the coattails of the 60s and late 80s zeitgeists to achieve their popularities. Like if everyone wasn't so jazzed up about future moon colonies and poo poo tos would've just been a mediocre program capable of impressing nobody with its null budget effects, hammy acting and storylines preachy even for the 60s. If everyone wasn't so optimistic and cheery about good guys winning without violence tng would've been just a dull hour of sterile but polite humans having effete adventures mostly involving a patient captain husbanding a young but white steve urkel being played by wesley crusher.

Enterprise and especially Voyager had nothing else to buff their minimal appeals, no big exterior push, so both live in infamy as lovely franchise entries even though on paper both are bog standard trek programs.

Enterprise owned. Nobody knew what they where doing, but that was in fact the loving premise because its inexperienced astronauts flying seat of the pants on babys first deep space ship and its held together with gaffa tape and staples with a warp drive nailed to it and has a loving grappling hook (Seriously they should have used that grappling hook for loving dudes up every episode because that poo poo is awesome). And basically the whole things seat of the pants.

It also felt a bit more like people having jobs, rather than the icky middle-class feel of TNG (Seriously would space dudes sit around watching robots play classical music? No, they'd be smashing cunts with a grappling hook).

you said it way better than I did

also there were no badge communicators or transporters so they had to punch a button on the wall to talk and take shuttles down to planets

AND THEY LIKED IT :corsair:

Until their transporters worked just like the rest of Trek and their ablative armor or whatever was just as effective as shields and they found a holodeck and literally Archer is like a mirror-mirror retarded Kirk.

The movie reboots would've been pretty lame by any standard too but luckily hollywood has a rock hard warp core edging to breach for anything nostalgia right now. They're willing to suck off any proven nerd franchise because that poo poo'll make bank guaranteed, given current trends. So don't worry, you can expect to see more of Nimoy and the Shat re-releasing their greatest shits come next year.
