If you do that you miss much of the best Trek villains:

Kai Wynn and Gul Dukat

They are part of reason folks are advising you to hang in there.

But ultimately just enjoy it and skip any episode that is boring you; if you make it halfway you’ll probably want to watch the few relevant ones you skipped.

p.s. Buckle up 🖖

Enterprise all the way.

It starts strong with lots human/vulcan conflict and then eases into 2 seasons of TNG-style adventures.

Season 3 is an imperfect masterpiece that ultimately delivers some incredible episodes. This is where Enterprise comes into its own.

Season 4 is more like a collection of 3-parters that sees the crew touch on all the lore they missed in the first 3 seasons. Satisfying but a different vibe.

Highlights include:

  • Captain Archer feuding with Duras
  • Dr Phlox improving every episode he appears
  • Lt Reed vs Major Hayes
  • Grapplers!

Low points include:

  • Decontamination
  • Archer/Tpol tension
  • Cogenitor episode
  • The finale

Came here to mention La Sirena from Picard.

Hologram bridge crew with fully hologram passenger quarters, the introverts starship par excellence 👌

Quick someone animate it ~~for the masses~~, ~~for the children~~, for me!

It’s a matter of opinion of course, but to me Picard 1/2 suffers the same malady as S31: “all we need is a big star to sell our franchise”

Season 3 felt to me like the owners of the franchise desperately trying to salvage the final season from Patrick Stewart’s meddling.

As for Kirk’s stories you’re right he’s done if not already overdone, at least as a main character. Who knows how he may work as a supporting character 🤷‍♀️

We know Riker plays for keeps; Quark owes him platinum and tried to foist gift cards on him for payment.

We know the TNG poker games would also raise the stakes; Crusher challenges Riker, LaForge, and Worf to bet shaving their beards that one time.

We know that gambling lingo is still commonplace, even though Mariner doesnt know other slang from our era (eg what a pinup poster is)

I want to say that gambling never left and it makes me realize we're sorely missing a proper heist episode. With Quark 👌

Edit: I am mistaken, I forgot about Moogie

If Kirk is going to come back, it has to mean something. It has to be the show. But I was so impressed by this writer, so I said let's talk after I'm done in Vancouver.

He had me in the first half, but thankfully this doesn't sound like another vanity project ala Picard S1/S2 🤞

I came here for the post about fog, but stayed for bikepower rabbit hole 👌

This looks like one you can make from an old washer and an old bike: https://permies.com/t/90723/Pedal-powered-washing-machine

That was an interesting watch. Glad someone is making shorts they think are fun to make, it's refreshing.
