Do yourself a favor and at the very least watch TAS "Yesteryear". It's a timey wimey Spock episode and it's fantastic. Better than many TOS episodes.
Over all, TAS is better than its reputation, which doesn't mean it's good, but it isn't too long either. It has its moments. Yesteryear is peak but others are worthwhile as well
Most of TAS is as good or better than TOS, story-wise. You just have to get past the animation.
I've only watched through TAS once so I don't really remember it clearly or have a strong opinion on it, but was it really all that bad from a story and writing perspective, or was it just kind of cheaply produced so people give it a harder time than it deserves?
The first two seasons of DS9 are good, though. It's unique among Berman-era Trek in that regard.
I used to call it the best Trek, until Lower Decks surpassed it.
I still personally call it the best trek.
I don't compare lower decks to the rest of the live action series. They're too different
Ignore any Kazon episode and Voyager is just fine.
(Except that one episode where some Kazon decided to play with a replicator. That one was kinda cool.)
I like the one where Chakotay and Nog get stranded on the planet full of traps
Why is this so accurate?
Enterprise Season 4 is an acne faced teen trying to figure out modern episodic/myth arc storytelling, but it’s 2-3 episode mini arcs are Peak Star Trek.
And the latest season of SNW is just garb*ge but DIS really gets better over time
All the pleasure of shore leave, none of the holodeck glitches.
Rule 1 — Be Civil, Not Klingon
This is a vacation planet, not the neutral zone.
Rule 2 — No Prohibited Cargo
Some things aren’t welcome aboard.
Rule 3 — Keep It Trek
Posts should be Star Trek memes or Trek-adjacent humor.
Rule 4 — Gatekeeping Belongs in a Black Hole
You’re welcome to have your own opinions on what counts as “real” Star Trek but forcing your view on others or pretending it’s the only valid one? That’s not the Starfleet way.
Everyone’s Trek is valid, from TOS purists to Lower Decks shitposters, and you don't get to dictate what is real or not for everyone.
If you see a post that violates the rules, or that doesn't inspire Jamaharon, report it so the mods can handle it.
Otherwise grab a horga’hn, order a Risan Mai Tai, and enjoy your shore leave.
