It was nice to see the author of the piece dive in to the fact that the various Paramount subsidiaries don’t always share the same goals or agree with the decisions of the others.
Knowing Netflix? One more season, a cliffhanger ending, and bitter recrimination.
Most likely… Ugh
Truly the Google of streaming services
Is it even worth watching as a trekki? 🤔
It’s a slow burn introduction to Trek. The show starts off having not much to do with Trek, as the crew itself has nothing to do with the Federation or Starfleet, but they go through a process of learning what Starfleet is, and they try their best to aspire to its ideals so they might be accepted to the academy when they reach the Federation. Ideas (e.g., prime directive, augments, temporal directives) are introduced one at a time with explanations. It’s not meant to “just” be a kids’ show, it’s meant to be a kids’ introduction to Trek. And as a fan of Trek, I think also a good introduction for a non-fan who might feel lost by how vast the Trek universe is. It’s not about politics or diplomacy, but it carries the same spirit of unity, optimism, and the hope for the best of humanity that underlies Trek.
Very well put. That spirit is what i want from my treks. So yes, will watch it 😌 Thanks man!
It’s great for what it is, but it’s fundamentally a kids show. It’s nicely animated, well acted and a lot more palatable to an adult audience than most but it doesn’t scratch that Trek itch for me beyond using the IP. It’s very much an action adventure cartoon. If that should good to you, then yeah go for it!
If it doesn’t, you still might want to make an exception if you’re really invested in Voyager. Characters from it aren’t just cameos, so you’ll get a lot more out of it if you’d really love to see Janeway again.
Oh, that’s what i feared. Hmm, yes i do love voyager, and it might be nice indeed. Thanks man!

@Dyskolos @ValueSubtracted it’s truly disappointing how often I see this question. I cannot give it a strong enough recommendation, our family LOVED it and my kids (and the rest of us!) can’t wait to watch season 2 ❤️
Oh the majority here seems to like it, so i will give it a go. I just thought it was (from the presentation) very kid-targeted.
@Dyskolos they definitely went that way out of the gate with the marketing, partnership with Nickelodeon, etc. But I guess I expected more of the fandom to watch it regardless, purely because it was new Trek. Doesn’t seem like it turned out that way though.
There’s a Kobayashi Maru-inspired episode that’s an absolute treat, but I won’t give any more away than that :)
Hehe, I’m already sold and will give it a go 😊
Second best new trek after SNW. Very very much yes.
Okokok, you all got me convinced already ,-)
@Dyskolos @ValueSubtracted I tried 3 times to get into it and I couldn’t. Today I forced it and it was at the end of episode 9 when I said “ok, this is a good show.” That much work just to start liking a show isn’t for everyone but after finishing the first season I think it’s worth it. I think the second is set up to be really good and I’m excited for it. I didn’t like lower decks or enterprise at first either.
You made it sound very tempting. But all the other guys already sold me on giving it a chance :-) And me too. didn’t like lower decks or enterprise at first neither. But they both grew on me and totally earned their place in my trekkie-heart.
That’s entirely up to you.
somehow, any trek has its own merits - even the worst movies ( #TheFinalFrontier ) or stupid episodes with Jonathan Archer … 🖖🏽
Eh, no.
Discovery had no merits beyond glorifying space Jesus who was so much better than Spock? It was trash, and if possible, Picard was even worse. Absolute garbage written and produced by people who self professedly didn’t know star trek, had no interest in making star trek, and wanting to use the platform to push through their political views. How anyone ever even expected any of that shit to be any good is beyond me.
i like prodigy but not enough to get netflix again
