[QUOTE="Snarf Zagyg, post: 8689373, member: 7023840"] So a brief response to the very excellent comments in this thread. 1. Regarding the placement of TNG over DS9. ....Okay, I admit it. [I]I was wrong[/I]. I went back and forth on this before posting, and you can probably see it in my description. TNG was ... dire for the first seasons. It was really bad at times. So ... while I wasn't a fan of DS9's first season, I think I was overthinking this. 2. Regarding the great opening of Voyager. Yeah, the first two episodes (Gatekeeper?) were excellent! Which made the remainder of Voyager's first season that much worse. I think I accurately rated it. 3. Regarding the strange affection for Enterprise. Not seeing it. I watched it when it aired. The first season was ... not ... good. It wasn't memorable (quick- think of anything other than [I]temporal cold war[/I] or [I]Vulcans, they're rude[/I]). It's even worse in retrospect with how they attempted to "Seven" T'Pol ... but with more showers, and had so very many characters you don't remember. The only character on that show I ever cared about was Phlox, and he barely was present. Worst first season ever (IMO). 4. Regarding the split between the serialized and episodic series- a lot of good comments, and that was the point. IMO, the episodic "TNG" series had really bad first seasons. I think that Picard and Discovery, despite their faults, had their acting and plots down the first season in ways that surpass the TNG-era shows. Now, I think it's an interesting philosophical question about how to rate those series vis-a-vis the serialized series, but while I didn't love everything about Picard and Discovery the first season ... they were perfectly cromulent.
