I’ve watched every Trek-related show or movie except the Enterprise series. For some reason it didn’t interest me anymore. But in many of the episodes, left-wing idiocy was especially laughable. Like when Picard was able to use liberal persuasion to convince evil aliens not to be evil. What the bad guys really need is just a hug, right?
Scott Bakula lost me with Quantum Leap, and I can’t watch him in anything now. Picard WAS often idiotic, but what would you expect when he had Troi watching everything he said. Give me Quark from DS9 anytime. I’m very fond of the Star Trek remake with Chris Pine. They pulled a very good cast together and I forget very quickly that they aren’t the real thing.
That is why I think DS9 was the best series because it recognized that sometimes a good ass kicking is the best solution!
