Do yourself a favor and at the very least watch TAS “Yesteryear”. It’s a timey wimey Spock episode and it’s fantastic. Better than many TOS episodes.
Over all, TAS is better than its reputation, which doesn’t mean it’s good, but it isn’t too long either. It has its moments. Yesteryear is peak but others are worthwhile as well
I’ve only watched through TAS once so I don’t really remember it clearly or have a strong opinion on it, but was it really all that bad from a story and writing perspective, or was it just kind of cheaply produced so people give it a harder time than it deserves?
Most of TAS is as good or better than TOS, story-wise. You just have to get past the animation.
The first two seasons of DS9 are good, though. It’s unique among Berman-era Trek in that regard.
I used to call it the best Trek, until Lower Decks surpassed it.
I still personally call it the best trek.
I don’t compare lower decks to the rest of the live action series. They’re too different
How DARE you?! There are at LEAST 3 good episodes in the first 2 seasons of TNG. Well at least 2, probably.
The pilot. You are talking about the pilot
Measure of a Man is from season 2.
Good point. I thought it was later
Seasons 1&2 of TNG have serious low points. But they are objectively not terrible. IMO these episodes are quite watchable:
Season 1:
- Where No One Has Gone Before
- Datalore
- 11001001
- Conspiracy
- The Neutral Zone
Season 2:
- The Measure of a Man
- Elementary, Dear Data
- A Matter of Honor
- Peak Performance
- Time Squared
- Pen Pals (maybe… maybe not?)
I can watch these easily. But that’s me. Feel free to disagree. The list could probably be extended with some tolerances added.
Ignore any Kazon episode and Voyager is just fine.
(Except that one episode where some Kazon decided to play with a replicator. That one was kinda cool.)
I like the one where Chakotay and Nog get stranded on the planet full of traps
Why is this so accurate?
Enterprise Season 4 is an acne faced teen trying to figure out modern episodic/myth arc storytelling, but it’s 2-3 episode mini arcs are Peak Star Trek.
And the latest season of SNW is just garb*ge but DIS really gets better over time
TAS
oh shit has anybody done an Abridged Series for star trek tas?
