Levar Burton "The new Spock"

Frakes looks like such a huge dork in that picture hahaha. Love it.

LeVar Burton: The New Spock

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm I dunno about that

They couldn't get a headshot of PStew from his agency in time, they had to use a xeroxed publicity shot from "Dune"? The glowy glossy headshots were probably Telexed. If not, they had to be overnighted!

It grows on you as a lichen that's difficult to remove. Not the season 3-4 upbeat theme, though.

The theme did throw me at first but I feel like the show didn't fully come into its own until seasons 3-4. The season 3 Xindi arc has aged beautifully. And the Vulcan arc where the high command is abolished was also very good.

Also in the mirror episodes Hoshi in the crop top made me feel things.

That perfectly explains what was going on with the very popular show (nothing to do with Trek) I just tried watching. I thought TV audiences were getting amazingly stupid, but I guess they're just distracted.

From this juncture, I can only recommend giving Voyager another chance. Starting with s2e16 "Meld" onward, there's a wealth of worthwhile episodes.

As with every post TOS Trek, they must all "grow the beard."

Voyager was always one of my favorites. Discovery was the real dog.

Until that whole shitshow of a temporal war really started.

Uh, yeah. He's "edgy" like that.

Enterprise was not bad at all.

Phlox, rub some decontamination gel on this revisionist history! The worst part was absolutely all the oily creeper shots.

That theme was the shit and I will die in this hill. The first version anyways

They have provided us a great fountain of memes, though.

The Clone Wars managed to improve it somehow, tho

Lower Decks fits that format and it works considering the medium.

TOS through now is still about an hour, disregarding the 2-parters and feature length episodes. What's changed is season length. 10 episodes is the new norm. Used to be 26-ish.

On the flip side, I mourn the 20+ episode season. Only Prodigy has gotten a full length season in NuTrek. (They were half hour, your preference.) Strange New Worlds deserved better than only 10 episode at a time, like it was a mid-season replacement, testing the waters.

I too would happily watch 20 minute episodes about Morn.

It would the sign of a good group of talented writers ... to constrain them to a 20 minute slot and still make an entertaining and informative show.

I'm with you on the 20 minute format ... I constantly scroll through shows thinking I just want to sit down for half an hour and watch something fast, then go do something else ... instead I end up scrolling for half an hour and then giving up, getting up and go do something else. Or else I'll watch half a 40/50 minute episode and watch the rest later.
