From the new(ish) Star Trek shows I really liked Lower Decks and mostly liked Strange New Worlds and the last season of Picard (you can watch that season on its own, especially if you’ve watched TNG).

I have mixed feelings about Enterprise, but would recommend it as well. It’s only 5 seasons, so …

TV has also changed a lot since the TNG-era, so if you like the vibe of those shows, I’d recommend checking out other sci-fi shows from that time.

All of that is highly subjective of course.

That’s upsetting. Thank you.

Not directly related but: I’m rewatching TNG and it’s so fun to see the character of Miles O'Brien emerge. Just through the sheer charisma of Colm Meaney.

I also think Chapel is very good at her job, but nurse and doctor are two different career paths. You don’t graduate being a nurse by becoming a doctor.

I don’t recognize Chaotic Evil and Neutral Good, can somebody enlighten me?

As someone whose dissertation is on conspiracy theories, I gotta say: The writers did a great job at essentially summarizing the current literature:

“I thought you were just a paranoid anxiety made up by people who needed an imagined enemy to simulate order on unrelated disasters so life doesn't feel so random and chaotic!” (Boimler, S04E08)

That mind control/subliminal messages in advertising joke with the paramount logo made me laugh.

Character’s name is Ensign Travis Mayweather and he’s played by Anthony Montgomery :)

Everybody’s favorite space boomer!

That was a cool moment. Thanks for reminding me of that scene!

"I can't believe that worked!" is such a horrifying thing to hear your physician say just after waking up. Gotta love Dr. Cats
