      Damn, that’s a big swing. I think Lower Decks has been one of the best Star Treks of all time. I’ve only seen a couple episodes of Prodigy so far, so I’ll have to catch up.

          No worries, I’m already on board. I’ve just been putting off actually watching it because it’s impossible to get my partner to watch stuff lol

          I liked Astra Lost in Space, and it’s giving a lot of the same vibes so far. Voyager for Kids lol

      Oof. I hope the plot is better than the animation. But I’m judging solely based on those 2 images.

        Janeway was under the effects of a mind swap in the first image. That at least explains the weird pose.

          We can at least all agree that there’s a pretty big gulf in quality between later three NuTrek shows (Lower Decks, Strange New Worlds, and Prodigy) and the first two (Discovery and Picard).

          I like the story, but as a kid’s show it’s a little bit on the "simple solutions always work " side of things. Like the first thing the kids come up with fixes the problem. It’d be like if in the other shows reversing the polarity or shooting tachyon beams worked right away, rather than being the first failed idea in the problem-solving process.

          Also a lot of science ex machina going on.

          I liked Disco, I love SNW and Lower Decks, and I’d agree that Prodigy is somehow still the best Trek of the current era. It’s actually amazing when I think about it.

          And yet. Here we are.
