I haven't watched Star Trek since DS9 and refuse to watch anything made after Enterprise. Can someone please elaborate what in heavens name is going on this meme is talking about?

I can say that voyager was a lot of fun but I had a hard time with thing after that until lower decks. I tried enterprise, Picard and disco but I didn’t like either. I haven’t tried brave new worlds so I can’t say anything about that one.

I think it’s worth trying the new shows and seeing if any of them appeal to you. Lower decks is definitely a goofy cartoon but it has a ton of heart and feels like enterprise in a way most other shows don’t. Plus it does fan service well in a fun way.

You owe it to yourself to try Strange New Worlds. It's just really good. It avoids most of the problems that Disco had (though it got better after season 1) and goes back to the episodic feel of past series, but without the ridiculous reset button that some series suffered from.

Familiarity with TOS will provide you with extra enjoyment, but it's not a requirement, in my opinion.

I'm trying Enterprise but I'm not loving it. I don't really connect with the characters except Porthos.

But DS9 took a while to get into, so maybe it gets better.

Enterprise finally starts getting good on season 4.

Brave New Worlds is just great.

It's going to be a long road then... But I've got faith of the heart and I've got strength of the soul

Enterprise was great after they killed off Trip. TNG holodeck episodes are my favorite.

You should get back into it, though. It's all pretty solid, except maybe some of Picard.

I did bounce off on DS9, too. That was a rough time for the franchise. Glad people enjoy it retroactively, though.

This is a double episode from Voyager where they come across another federation starship, the Equinox.
