I’ve never even made it through a single episode of LD. Just not my bag of tea.
I grew up to reruns of TOS. Watched TNG as it aired. Saw bits of DS9 and Voyager as it aired. And genuinely liked and watched Enterprise as it aired (one of a few).
I did not like JJ’s NuTrek nor the post NuTrek TV shows. I really wanted to like Discovery, because I wanted serial Trek. I think episodic television is boring. But it didn’t work for me. Too many plot holes, tone swings, and internal contradictions. Never mind not respecting Trek cannon, it didn’t even respect its own plot setups.
Like NuTrek, it eschews coherence for flashy action in the moment. It’s like Luc Besson’s Du Look French film movement from the late 80s. All style, no substance.
