  I hesitated to watch this one.

  The humour is very 90s colonic irrigation level and sensibility.

  This one did make me smile at one point though.

  To see Riker, who would bravely take on fresh gagh to show openness to other cultural expectations, find the limit of his tolerances, is amusing.

  I just wish the humour got beyond school age.

    I’m not enjoying the “series” much, but Frakes was very good in this.

    Which is ironic because TAS, while a bit whacky, was extremely mature for a cartoon of that era.

      Aren’t the TAS episodes literally the TOS scripts they didn’t get to do?
      Notably “the soft weapon”…
      (Are those Caitians? No, Kzinti!)

      Anyway, given that it’s the original cast doing the voice acting, I like to think of TAS as “the rest” of TOS.
      Star Trek TOS: 3 seasons
      Star Trek TAS: 2 seasons
      Star Trek TNG: 7 seasons
      Star Trek DS9: 7 seasons
      Star Trek Voy: 7 seasons
      Star Trek Ent: 4 seasons
      Star Trek Dis: 4 seasons
      Star Trek ST: 2 seasons
      Star Trek Pic: 3 seasons
      Star Trek LD: ≥4 seasons
      Star Trek Pro: ≥1 season
      Star Trek SNW: ≥2 seasons

      Hmm, what’s next? A DS9+Ent crossover show, to round out the “peak Trek nostalgia” lineup?

      Personally, my pick would be to see a crew of scrappy Terrans find their way to the good lucky universe, rather than “Starfleet Academy” kids… We have Prodigy for that?
