Spoilers Star Trek: Strange New Worlds - Season 3 Viewing (Spoilers)

[Micah Sweet]

I'd argue Lower Decks actually broke the dry spell.

Too many people dismiss it as just a cartoon or just going for laughs. But, IMO, it holds up as one of the better Trek series overall, certainly much more consistent than Discovery and as good as Strange New Worlds.

Lower Decks is my favorite NuTrek, followed by Picard season 3 (mostly nostalgia), then SNW.

Picard season 3 was pretty good. But the first 2 seasons, especially the second drag that average WAY down. The problem was clearly that they just didn't really know where to go with the new characters, or the overall plot.

It's not really my cup of tea, but I'll concede Lower Decks is a brighter point of the franchise. I can't really say why I'm ambivalent towards it- I really liked Those Old Scientists! There's even great bits, like canonizing Chief O' Brien as the most important member of Starfleet!

But I find it hard to sit down and watch the show, alas. I've also heard good things about Prodigy, but I've yet to see any of it. For me, Strange New Worlds makes me happy to be a Star Trek fan again.
