I don't know obrian would be a chip man, but only if someone else brought chips and kick himself that he also did it. Then his wife would die cause the writers must see him suffer.

I feel like the enterprise biggest issue is during this future war plot, that was so in the open as to be hilarious. Like it made everyone from the future good guys utterly incompetent when they changed everything so constantly, and obviously, where they were "watching the timeline."

Ditching that was the best thing that show should have done, but then it had only a season left to be a normal star trek show and by then, I don't think anyone cared.

Well, the biggest thing is that Archer is supposed to be some rough and tumble captain, when the Scott Bakula is just so god drat likable. If you compare him to say Picard who barely could call Riker "will" at times, he never really warmed up cause the dude was already intimate friends with everyone or at least felt like it.

Edit:

Haha, i just found this and it is delightful:

I wish they had a few more episodes of just B cast and let them grow and shine a bit, Lower Decks and Night Shift really were good episodes and allowed the setting to become more a "universe" than the main cast microcaism.

I think of "old trek" as TOS, TAS, TNG, DS9, VOY. And "modern" Trek as DISCO/PICARD. Enterprise I always forget is a star trek show tbh.

It's me, I'm the old man.

I think my favorite trek video of theirs is Mike explaining why William Shatner hates them and begging him to please stop and begging their fans to not bother him because he just can't take it if Captain Kirk hates him

Yeah, I'm another old man, most of my reasons for disliking discovery, and picard, is because of the way it is designed from the ground up. My friend also feels the same way, and RLM really strikes a cord.

I really really don't want another action shlock star trek, i mean if you like it that is nice, but I would call season 3 of discovery bearable, but once again, like if you don't like michael burnham as a character, you basically have no reason to watch the show. I like almost everyone BUT her.

The nonbinary trill for example, got a tleast some characterization and i would have taken those 20 minutes over the entire "vulcans + romulans can't tell the federation why its FTL netwokr was bad" scene

If that poo poo were written today there would be a season-long story arc about the origin of the Red alert klaxon

You see once Michael Burnham was going to earth and they met the ancestor for kirk who was then schooled on how to be a good star fleet officer by Michael Burnham, who then met the designer for the enterprise 1701 and told them how to maximize crew placement and thus the red alert was born.

Then Michael Burnham ascended to heaven until she was needed once more.

TMP is the most anti-star wars film ever made, it even makes Silent Running look like a thrill ride in comparison.

But then Michael Burnham can't figure out the secret of the federation location which is so super secret no one knows where it is, which begs the question is it really a "federation of planets" at that point?

Find and activate the iconian gateway in the Dyson Sphere (according to STO) fly to the sun and fix the machinery behind it (according to STO) and then activate the Voth Dyson Sphere in the Delta Sector and get Janeway home like 4 years early, and basically eliminate half of all bad trek ever made!

So like, I haven't seen Discovery or anything but apparently it's a thing in the 30th century all the dilithium in the universe explodes and so no one has warp drive anymore? But isn't the dilithium just used to stabilise the matter/anti-matter reaction that powers most warp drives, and Romulans have perfectly good warp drives powered by artificial singularities?

Did that technology get forgotten when the Romulans were all killed in Picard?

It is far dumber than you think. The Vulcans and Romulans are the same faction now, since all the factions are completely different, but yes, it makes not sense on any level, and really, the reason for it, is so stupid, I took a vow of chastity and went to a monastery.

Basically the Vulcans+romulans are now total isolationists so no one talks about the romulan tech at all.

I think the part where Patrick Stewart put a dune buggy on the enterprise only so he could go offroading told me as a kid all I needed to know about Patrick Stewart, he is a nice guy and a good actor, but he has never been and never will be Picard.

Sadly, he has gained more clout as the years have gone on and Picard being the Silver Age Leader of Trek, has giving him way more input than he should have.
