Whatās a piece of SF that you just couldnāt get into, even though you feel like you should?
I tried to watch Babylon 5, for instance, and just couldnāt connect to it. I know itās popular and people love it, but it never hooked me.
Another is The Three Body Problem. I tried reading it after a friendās glowing recommendation, but I couldnāt get past the first chapter. I even tried reading it in another language in case it was the translation I couldnāt connect with, but the same thing happened.
Both are things I feel like I should like, but just donāt.
The original series is just god awful and I basically love everything else up until to the new movies. (Any trekies in the house wanna fight about Enterprise being the best trek series?)
Is Enterprise the best Star Trek series? No way.
Is Enterprise s4 arguably the best individual Star Trek season? Very possible.
Enterprise is a mixed bag for me. I very much disliked the temporal cold war and the season long Xindi war.
But, they had some of the best mirror universe eps. in all of trek and I think, a great cast.
My problem with the earlier seasons is that the human characters all behave like irrational over-emotional caricatures of humans, as if they were written by Vulcan logic absolutists expressly for the purposes of anti-human propaganda. A moderately intelligent human today wouldnāt behave the way they sometimes do, yet weāre to believe that the best and brightest of humanity in the 22nd century would.
By season 4 they had ironed out the kinks and finally told some great stories, but by that point too many people had switched off.
I am really digging Strange New Worlds. It feels like Star Trek to me. (As opposed to Discovery, which-- well, letās just say Iām not a fan haha.)
First, the Trekkers would like a word with you about that slurā¦
