I love Lower Decks but it’s not like TOS at all. It’s more like a love letter to TOS. Strange New Worlds is VERY much like TOS.

If I had to stack rank:

(1) TOS (1) TNG (2) lower decks (3) the animated series?

But, I watch it for the science fiction. The other series were hardly the same genre.

DS9 was trying to be babylon 5 / sanctuary moon half the time. The lack of science research on voyager still works my spouse into a rage.

Hey! Dont try and mandela effect sanctuary moon into existence, you almost had me.

The 2nd worst thing about the series is seeing those clips. The first worst thing is, of course, disambiguating the machine's gender. Until the live action show this was the only popular book series I'm aware of where a reader could project and never glitch. For both the gender and the show, enabling our projection is a key conceit and device.
