I’ve been rewatching it for the first time since it aired and found myself enjoying more this run. 3 is still the best by far. Is it pandery? Absolutely. Getting the band back together is what we expected from the get go.
I enjoyed it, but it is definitely the least “Star Trek” of all the Star Trek series to date. Even arguably more-so than Lower Decks. I understand why some people would be disappointed, but I agree, some of the hate was too far.
That’s a good way to put it. The Animated Series was a Star Trek series that was just animated so they could manage to depict things that they were unable to achieve with 1970’s live action special effects. But Lower Decks, on the other hand, was a wacky cartoon that just had as many Star Trek references shoved into it as possible because it was made by fans.
The online hate that series got was totally undeserved and unjustified. It was great, modern Trek. I loved it.
And yes, that end credits scene was absolutely spectacular.
