Most of it is no less great on average than 90s Trek. Just different.
It’s unfortunate many longtime fans weren’t willing to give it a chance to find its groove, much the same as the TOS fans resisted giving TNG a chance.
TNG’ first season and much of the second were rough, but it was a personal risk to stand up at a Star Trek Con in 1989 and say you were a TNG fan. By 1993, when DS9 was running too, everyone at cons were TNG fans too.
As a long haul fan who saw this happen then, I’ve found it sad to see Trek fandom repeating the cycle.
Well said. I actually think Prodigy, like SNW, has much stronger first seasons than the Berman Era shows, all of which were kinda weak in their first seasons and got better as they went on.
Glad to hear you’re giving it all a genuine try.
