Limited time offer. I have an upcoming trip and I’m looking for something to watch. Is Star Trek actually good, or only nostalgic? Should I just search for episode 1 and press play, or is there something I need to know first?

    Personally I think DS9 started strong and lost steam gradually.

    Yeah, the first few seasons felt like the writer’s room had a grounded, thoughtful perspective on great-power politics, on colonization and occupation, and on political violence. The documentary that came out a few years ago seemed to suggest a lot of it was on one writer that died partway through the show, but I’m not sure how accurate that is.
