Things you love about Star Trek

With the above being said, I've actually been doing a run through of Enterprise lately, and it's not a terrible show. It mostly isn't good, but it's not Discovery level cringeworthy. I know, the bar is low.

Enterprise was what happened when they followed the formula too closely... bland. The show had enormous potential, and that shined through several times. "Carbon Creek" for example. But the majority of the episodes were forgettable. It wasn't until the last season that they started taking chances; the "Mirror Darkly" episodes were the best example of that. By then it was too late.

SNW has that potential, and they gotten weird in a few places. I don't like how much they're emphasizing the coming shift into the Kirk era... too much Kirk in this show and it cuts into Pike's screen time. The heavy reliance on the Gorn bothers me, but it's coming off cool, so... I dunno... timey-wimey shit?

I've been watching ST since 1971 or 1972, so I'm a little bit of an asshole about canon, but I've learned that canon isn't/shouldn't be a hard metric.
