Inspired by gregorum's post concerning issues with startrek.website, which is ironic as lemmy.world is a bit glitchy right now and isn't letting me upload and had to use my alt here.
When I found out there was a mirror universe two-parter, I IMMEDIATELY abandoned the conversation I was having to watch it. Fortunately, that conversation was with other Trek fans who understood and just laughed.
Dear doctor is one of those classic good eps of trek with absolutely terrible morality, much like every time Picard is like “these people have to die when we could easily help them because that’s what the universe wants”
I really need to rewatch Enterprise at some point. I keep seeing people say the later stuff is good, but my recollection is it was annoying time travel stuff and actually worse than the earlier seasons. It's making me doubt myself, especially given how long ago it was.
EXACTLY. The premise got me so hard. pre-TOS? low tech, high stress/stakes scifi? See the origins of Starfleet? delve into the founding races of the federation? Fuck yes!
oh, wait. boring shit, irrelevant magic shit, new races we never heard of before or will see again and so on and so forth.
