  I know DS9 is considered the “dark stories” one, but it’s still bursting with optimism compared with the majority of scifi out there.

  I just go for thought-provoking. TNG S2 has been excellent for the most part (I’ve started with TNG).

    Isn’t “thought provoking“ is kinda the whole point of sci-fi?

    All 3 series have plenty of those, as well as their share of dud episodes. DS9 leans heavier into stories of war/colonialism. VOY is more about survival in desperate circumstances.

      Of good sci-fi. I heard ST:Picard missed the mark for many, for example.
