Do you guys remember when Futurama parodied the series by saying the fandon would grow so large it would become a religion?
Looking back at it makes it even more depressing how the franchise devolved into the absolute worst slop immaginable.

Alternatively, every piece of Star Trek content was lost to time except for TOS, TNG, and the TOS movies.

Stephen Colbert is also in the show apparently. I guess it's a CBS thing to try to bring a bit more views.

Not totally out of left field, Colbert’s done Broadway, but now I’m just sitting here white-knuckled, waiting for the next Star Trek spinoff with Kevin Hart. They can’t help themselves.

Compare VOY with DS9 is unfair, imo, because they're very different shows despite being both Trek. For example, I feel that VOY is a much better successor of TOS than TNG, because of all of the horror component that they have in certain episodes. TNG played it a bit safe that even Q had to come to shake them up a bit by introducing the borg, and even so, they had Starfleet to back them up and make a full fleet to fight them. The VOY crew are all alone and away from home. They could have made this concept better, but it's there and TNG ain't nothing like it. The Enterprise many times acted as a diplomatic fancy cruise full of violin concerts and children. It is very comfy in a way VOY aint.

Also, VOY was not episodic but it was "thematic". The theme was "going back home", something TNG didn't have. They were just explorers, but the Voyager were not. They took the chance to learn and explore, but their main mission was to return home somehow.

Meanwhile, DS9 was more episodic than VOY, due to the Dominion war. I really don't know about the BTS for DS9, but it feels like they just thought the concept of a starbase wasnt as interesting alone without something else, which ended up being the war.

I did enjoy VOY, I'm fine with it being campy. People forget that TOS was very campy, and it's still considered by many the best of the whole franchise. TNG was ok, VOY kept that campy vibe, but I feel that DS9 took themselves too seriously sometimes. It's a good story, but it lacked those certain elements the Treks had. To each their own.

About Starfleet Academy, I couldn't make it past 10 seconds of the trailer...
 
Amazing writing in that Starfleed Academy trailer, the villian tells the kid to hold a grudge after he kills (or whatever) his mother.

I still think it’s kind of missing the point.

Maybe, but I can tell my friend isn't as into DS9 as she was TNG or TOS. I'm hoping if we mix it up and add a more "fun" show to the mix shell enjoy it more, and blindly swapping back and forth by air date doesn't appeal to me.

But it is fun to line them up chronologically. The only other TV thing that does this is watching Hercules/Xena or Buffy post-season three while alternating with Angel episodes. (The cross-references were so forced they made the Dominion War nods on VOY look good.)

Funny you mention that. We did a recent binge of Buffy/Angel and I ended up using a guide to watch both together as well. Might do the same if we ever end up watching Xena and Hercules.

T'pol was great except for the drug addiction storyline.

That, and her being being grabbed underboob by the Big Show are the only two things I really remember about T'pol. @_@

I remember liking Carbon Creek too, but that wasn't actually T'pol...
I am absolutely looking forward to watching Enterprise once I finish DS9 and Voyager. I believe I've said I was planning on giving it a re-watch on here even ages ago... But I haven't done so yet.

It's been a really long road getting from there to here.
 
I think what's most important is that both Voyager and Deep Space Nine, despite being different beasts and having different things going for them, felt like they were Star Trek. I felt like I was watching the same show as I when I was watching TNG.

I can't say the same for everything that came after Voyager.

Edit: I am watching Voy right now, guess which episode: Oh no, Chakotay's crashed a shuttle again.

I still find it funny that from the first cast pictures or teaser or whatwever we went, "gaay" and then it turned out to be correct and now the buck is wearing a skirt.

On the skirt, remember that Rebecca Romijn had to argue with production on Strange New Worlds to be able to wear a miniskirt.

Their obsession for extra-slim cut uniforms also doesn't help. It's not functional at all, nobody would wear that shit all day and it's not adapted to all sizes/shapes. Also a Klingon should look threatening, not a faggot with no muscles and a skirt.
 
That Klingon looks like he's there to be fucked by other Klingons.

These people just don't know how to write characters that aren't from our time.
