I cant wait. I've loved all the Star Trek series except Discovery. I just couldn't get into it, and I tried hard. Maybe I'll give it another go before this comes out.
The only part of Discovery I enjoyed was the time with Pike’s crew, SNW is a far better show and I’m excited to see more.
@fordbeeblebrox@lemmy.world that's because Discovery is just bad fan fiction.
It makes Enterprise worth watching.
How dare you!
I understand not liking Discovery, but I draw the line at encouraging a rewatch of Enterprise!
(I'm kidding. Enterprise wasn't all that bad... Mostly.)
I’m one of those who unironically like Enterprise and its song, sometimes I’ll sing the first few bars just to make the gf roll her eyes. Even at its cheesiest its still better than the Burnham show featuring Starfleet as backup characters
Perfect. After Discovery, Enterprise is the next weak link. Everything else is pretty great.
Enterprise getting a second lease on life by virtue of no longer being the worst? I’m here for it 💪
@malikmuaddibsoong@startrek.website it's been a long road, gettin' from there to here
I was waiting for this to be busted out reading down that comment chain. Surprised it took so long.
If the first season wasn't your cup of tea, you might try skipping to season two - I personally think it's the weakest of the five, but it does introduce Mount, Peck, and Romijn as Pike, Spock, and Una.
And then there's the major shift at the end, which sets the stage for some seasons that I really enjoyed.
season 1 made me rage quit until snw encouraged another try. now saru is my favorite character.
I got to season 3 before bailing, but season one was really ponderous. I'm really over the Star Trek obsession with Klingons.
I think season 4 was the only one I didn't have to push myself to like - there were lots of great bits scattered throughout the first three seasons, but the fourth is where I felt like the whole season was enjoyable and strong (particularly the last couple of episodes).
I'll give it another try, but I'll skip that ridiculouus first season
That's wise. No one is completely sure what happened in Disco Season one, anyway, due to the lack of lighting budget...
