Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.

Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !askusa@discuss.online
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

An Officer And A Gentleman. Absolute sexist garbage.
The Narnia books. Silly, thinly disguised evangelical propaganda.
Star Trek: Enterprise. I just never got into that one.
Doesn't everyone hate Enterprise?
I like ENT. It is far from perfect, but it gets ragged disproportionally.
Season 1 & 2 do have some bombs ('Dear Doctor') but even in these less loved seasons, there are good episodes. 'The Andorian Incident' is a great episode right in the first season that not only introduces Jeffery Combs as Shran, but becomes a touchpoint for future episodes. There's a number of other good to ok episodes, I'd say at least in the same amount as TNG's first seasons.
Season 3 is divisive, but I liked seeing the proto-enlightened humanity backsliding a little bit into the militarized ways. This was an examination of that, done without getting too bogged down. I enjoyed the increasing knowledge of Xindi cultures being a factor in unraveling the situation.
Basically everyone who watched it loves season 4.
Was the show perfect? No. The temporal Cold War running plot was a time wasting slog. Was the finale revealing the whole thing as a TNG holodeck program stupid? Yes. But did the show have a unique take on human-Vulcan relations? Yeah. Did it on the whole keep that optimistic spirit of Trek? Yeah. Was it a long road getting from there to here? Yes, it's been a long time, but my time is finally near.
No, not everyone.... I mean, some people like Discovery...
