Hi welcome,
there aren't many red anarchists here so it'll be interesting to add you to the conversations.

It's only been 10 episodes. Even the best Trek takes a few seasons to get good.

But that's just a spin-off, focused on some elderly guy, lol. The actor could die at any point irl... You don't start a multi-season series out of this. It's totally like a way for the TNG actors to get themselves some retirement jobs.

The original Star Trek series (ring any bell?) were great from the start. It's true tho that TNG was crap for at least the 1 or 2 first seasons.

Tho not on any Alex Kurzman annoying pretentious level of crap. Picard made him look like he didn't watch any of the old series... Same can be said of the Star Trek film reboots.

Anyways Star Trek is pretty much just a brand by now... same as Star Wars. Franchises that got sucked out of their overarching concepts.

TOS had many really garbage episodes... Like slapping down the US Constitution on a planet?

TOS never pretended being masterpieces. I mean Spock was fucking using a repurposed cheap plastic cup as the mic on his communications board...

Everything is clunky and sometimes dumb, but that's what made it a classic. And at least it didn't too itself too seriously as these more recent productions. It's like the Borg in TNG... they look ridiculous. Even at that, they managed to turn them into pretty scary villains. Q was also a kind of comical relief, among many others, for a series gone rather austere and "rationalist" in tone.

Of course someone could say there's these aspects in the newer series, but super big chaotic space battles debris everywhere? Vulcans turned into ninja space elves? Sauron!? lol

They're just recycling tropes from other franchises/movies.

I'm not talking about the kitchy effects. Some of the episodes were downright trash.

TNG had some really trash episodes too: like Code of Honor?

Code of Honor was Season 1... I know at least Season 1 was shit. It didn't made the whole TNG series any less great, as it later set its own tone, approach and quality standard. And unlike the more recent series, it was original.
