    Do you guys also watch Trek-likes when you feel you’ve watched the other true Treks too recently, like toss in some Orville when you want classic Trek but just finished Kirk and Picard?

          You mean Enterprise.

          Shut your whore mouth. /s

          Kidding aside, I didn’t like Enterprise the first time I watched it when it aired, but having watched it through a couple times on streaming I really appreciate it much more. We are so used to the Federation and Starfleet having solid rules (even when they are ignored) based on painful lessons learned. Enterprise lets us see a whole bunch of things humanity did wrong. I like that we get knocked down a peg and have to admit we don’t know everything.

          There’s also a lot more reliance on just human ingeniuty. Whether its Trip flying by the seat of his pants on the first ever Warp 5 engine, or Hoshi literally learning alien languages in realtime, we see humanity performing at its limits and its fun to watch.

            Each to their own! I feel like you’re describing what the show wanted to be quite accurately, but for me it didn’t manifest much on screen.

            Granted my memories may be a bit on the negative side because I’ve been doing this rewatch order and the last episode I watched just so happens to be ‘These Are the Voyages’ which, uh, yeah.

              That’s an interesting watch order you linked. Unrelated, it makes me wonder if there is an “all Jeffrey Combs” cut watch order. He’s been in 46 episodes across 4 different Trek series.

              Also, when looking for that number how did I never hear about this:

              “Additionally, in 1997, Combs and his Deep Space Nine co-stars René Auberjonois and Armin Shimerman appeared together in the drama Snide and Prejudice (along with Mick Fleetwood).”

      I’m really enjoying Discovery so far (but I’m not quite done with season 1).

      I didn’t enjoy Enterprise overall.
