If you're going to draw a dividing line, I think the most sensible place is pre- and post-Roddenberry.

I couldn't get into DS9.  There's something weird about Sisko, the lead character.  I don't know if it's how he's written, how he's acted, or both.  I don't get what he's on about or why he is the way he is.  Edgy without purpose?

I think I had other objections to DS9, the few times I've tried it.  But it's been awhile and I can't put my finger on it, without sitting down to try again.  Which I'm not gonna do, anytime soon.  There's a lot of competing TV out there.

I like Voyager.  I haven't managed to complete it.  Probably have seen half of it.  I only fully completed TNG during the pandemic.  That was a big watch, and left me somewhat Trek burned out.  Was gearing up for finishing Voyager when the streaming licensing changed.  I'm guessing CBS took everything behind their paywall.  You could still get episodes here and there through BBC America, but that's appointment television and I'm not doing that anymore.

Enterprise is ok, not the best not the worst.  Passable, has some merits.  Don't expect me to instantly enumerate what those are lol.  That documentary series I saw, was this the show that had like 4 different writers on it or something?  Like basically turning it into 4 different shows.  Or was that DS9?  I forget.

I've already enumerated my contempt for J.J. Abrams style Trek.  The sad thing is, they actually did a good job casting it.  The actors really cared about their Trek.  They were just wasted on stupid action stories.  I'd really had it when Spock was playing a Donkey Kong platformer game on some shuttle above the city.  Spock was good at plenty of things, like strength, mind powers etc., but he was never some action superhero!  Totally ridiculous and illogical.  He should have easily plummeted to his death.
