I was in the trek camp when I was younger. But from a story perspective i think the episodic TV has aged poorly and the movies are just double episodes of TV. (This applies to Stargate too, for me.)

Theres something to be said about the social commentary certainly but meh.

Star Wars remains awful but at least it has entertaining aspects; it’s like the Marvel franchise now. Boom, explosion, wow. Though - Marvel has too much in the Team America Saves the World aspect (much like SG).

It's interesting to watch Star Trek in release order and see how it shifted with the times from standalone episodes that are almost never mentioned again, gradually into more continuous story arcs

Yeah, I’m watching some earlier episodes and that is part of my current outlook.
