Inspired by gregorum’s post concerning issues with startrek.website, which is ironic as lemmy.world is a bit glitchy right now and isn’t letting me upload and had to use my alt here.

    I felt like ENT had potential for greatness given its premise, but every single time time travel was involved, it actively made the show worse. It was supposed to be all about the early beginnings of the Federation and the first Enterprise’s journey into the unknown, but they kept interrupting it with random temporal cold war bullshit that nobody cares about.

      Yeah that’s how I remember it, but it seems popular opinion is the temporal cold war stuff was good now?

        That’s crazy lol, it was soooooo bad! I felt like that and some of the attempts to appeal specifically to straight men were the things that ruined an otherwise very interesting show.

      EXACTLY. The premise got me so hard. pre-TOS? low tech, high stress/stakes scifi? See the origins of Starfleet? delve into the founding races of the federation? Fuck yes!

      oh, wait. boring shit, irrelevant magic shit, new races we never heard of before or will see again and so on and so forth.

      Just… awful.
