Finished my rewatch of TNG, even found a few eps that I had not watched.
There were more filler eps than I remember and a few I could not watch, but overall, still excellent.
Re watched season 1 of Picard and I enjoyed it ore the second time, season 2 now, it was pretty average when I watched it the first time, let's see if I enjoy it more the second time round.
Picard 1 was fantastic imo. Season 2 was filmed during lockdown, which is why they ended up in present day LA, so they could shoot outdoors. Season 3 was ok, but the entire series sort of went out with a wimper. Stewart's aging voice was also quite annoying in contrast to his TNG voice.
I dont actually mind those.I may rewatch TNG at some point. The only downside is I would get bored with some of the holodeck episodes involving the likes of Sherlock Holmes et al.
Agree season 1 was fantastic, going into season 2 with an open mind, it might be better second time round.Picard 1 was fantastic imo.

Literally all I wanted. For fresh stories there are way better scifi shows out there. Better Trek shows for that matter. It was well executed fan service which isn't as easy as it looks (see Rings of Power).I'll go the opposite way. I thought S3 was crap, just a bunch of fan service with a forgetable storyline.

Finished Voyager, found season 7 disappointing TBH , there was a few decent EPs, but to much filler and I thingt the Finale was pretty poor.
Was going to do DS9 but not in the mood for any more 26 eps season.
Strange New Worlds i my next watch.
TNG by a long way , I really do like Voyager and it does have some eps that are up there with the best, but season 7 was a big let down and has for the Finale, I wanted the big getting home scene with the fireworks and cheering, not the camo at the start of the Finale.Which is your favorite so far ? I can't seem to get beyond TNG being my #1 by some distance.

I did enjoy Voyager I found the Doctor funny, Janeway annoying until the finale funny enough, Paris quite meh, 7 awesome, Chakotay weak, Kim weak and Tuvok excellent.TNG by a long way , I really do like Voyager and it does have some eps that are up there with the best, but season 7 was a big let down and has for the Finale, I wanted the big getting home scene with the fireworks and cheering, not the camo at the start of the Finale.
So TNG is first, but is Voyager better than the Original series, both excellent , both a good mix of good, bad and the excellent both IMHO had dreadful Finale's.
Kirk is better than Janeway, Bones is better than the EMH and Spook is obviously better than Chakotay, but Voyager had 7, but yes crew wise Original gets the point there.
Storyline wise , Orignal, yes it was a 5 year mission but each episode was a different story, but for me Voyager gets this , 75 years from home, battling to find shortcuts worm holes anyway to get home quicker, I think you got better crew development in Voyager, Neelix maybe the best development from a bumberling trader to trusted crew member to Ambassador in the delta quadrant, so that 1 - 1
Ships, Enterprise over Voyager , first thought would be Voyager, more advanced better design everything but it would be , Kirk did thing wit Enterprise that should have destroyed it. Draw for me, 1.5 -1.5
So that leaves it down to personal taste, The first two seasons of Voyager are exceptional and some of the best Star Trek outside of TOS. Seasons 4 and 5 decent, 6-7 on the whole a bit meh with the odd jewel.
I thought getting rid of Kes was a mistake, but adding 7 was a masterstroke.
It had a good villain in Seska.- The Kazon weren't that great, but the Vidiians had promise. So thats a win for Voyager giving them the win 2.5 - 1.5.
Aye, DS9 is excellent and has some of the best episodes of any Trek, but it's hard to start with. There's quite a bit of crap early on, and it's harder to skip stuff than with most Trek with it being a bit more of a continuous story than self-contained episodes.smart decision. DS9 is the best in my book, but it starts waaaaay slower (than other ST shows) to appreciate it in wrong mood.
I do like DS9 , there is a far few I have not seen, so I will do it.smart decision. DS9 is the best in my book, but it starts waaaaay slower (than other ST shows) to appreciate it in wrong mood.
I like Janeway Neelix and Kes, Chakotay and Tuvok I agree, Paris I quite like him, a mavrick does his own thing got into some good scrapes but came good at the end.I did enjoy Voyager I found the Doctor funny, Janeway annoying until the finale funny enough, Paris quite meh, 7 awesome, Chakotay weak, Kim weak and Tuvok excellent.
I couldn't stand however Kes and Neelix. If he'd gone the same time I'd have been happier.
Yeah they were a decent enemy and without Janeway's help I think they would have taken the Borg, more from fluidic space would have been interesting.I also loved species 8472 wish more had been done with them - maybe in one of the movies even.
