Greatest Sci-Fi franchise ever, although it did get better after its Communist creator (Gene Roddenberry) was no longer running it. You have perhaps an example?

The first two seasons of Star Trek: TNG sucked eggs. Basically because Roddenberry was intent on it being a "non-violent action-adventure series" where all conflicts were solved peacefully.

Then he died, and his successors went back to shoot 'em up battles with the Romulans and introduced the Borg. The show got much, much better then.

TNG was kinda hit or miss throughout - sometimes you’d get a really good ep and other times a worthless PC lecture.

Okay, i'll buy that. I remember thinking at the time that one of the big problems with Star Trek was the lack of space battles/fighting. There is a reason "Wrath of Khan" is the favorite Star Trek movie, and pretty much the only one anyone remembers.

I thought they could have done a better job with the Borg though. Some of that hybridization between machines and humanoids was just too stupid to be convincing.

They ended up making a hybrid that was inferior to either a machine or a human.

Picard paid way too much attention to that stupid prime directive at first, too-not as much after Rodenberry checked out-but I liked Kirk better because he usually ignored it and apologized later if he had too...
