You just reminded me of a bingo card Reddit Risa had during Disco S1:
ha! That's excellent. I was not in a position time-wise to watch DSC S1 when it actually aired, so I missed all these shenanigans. In retrospect it's probably the best trek to binge (which I did) since many episodes feel more like parts of a movie instead of being self contained. I'm a fan of all trek, even Enterprise. :D
Do people genuinely not like ENT?
The consensus leans to it being not that great.
The consensus has definitely changed with time.
Granted, that has happened to literally every iteration of Trek, except TOS.
(and TAS I guess considering that it remains an underrated gem)
I think it was the first truly disappointing ending for a trek show, and that kinda sours the whole thing a bit.
I agree the ending wasn't great.
Oh man do they. The years since it aired have been kinder to it but hot damn did it get a lot of hate online while it was fresh.
From my perspective, I didnt start to appreciate it until the final season and then I wasnt even that bummed because I knew I wouldnt have to hear budget rod Stewart sing over an old Timey map with crew member power point transitions
Yeah I think this song was kind of annoying.
I don't know I'm not really into TOS, it was too campy for me. I liked TNG just fine, something about ENT really had like a rough, we're doing real first time exploration kind of vibes to it which I really enjoyed.
I think that was mostly when it came out. (Along with voyager) Over the years it is seemingly more appreciated.
I think in their efforts to make the crew less woke than in the TNG era to maintain continuity, they accidentally made the crew less woke than people are in 2024. I'm saying it aged poorly. For example I cite Trip being uncomfortable with polyamoury.
I laughed at michael is a boys name.
Let's see, which ones could apply to me..."CBS All-Access sucks," "Ugh, another prequel?", "The Orville is real Trek," "Mary Sue." No bingo from me.
