2000sStar Trek: Enterprise rates 4 for its first two seasons and 8 for its last two. A completely mixed bag that spent two years not knowing what it was, committed to a serialized arc in season three, became the show…
2020sStar Trek: Lower Decks rates 5 out of 10 on the rewatch scale. Mediocre, and a good try. A genuinely clever premise, the most stable production in modern Star Trek, and a show whose comic style and comic content are…
2020sStar Trek: Picard rates 1 for its first two seasons and at most a 5 for its third. Awful from front to back. The first two have nothing in them worth defending, and the third, which almost everybody else rates…
2020sStar Trek: Prodigy carries no rating here because I have not watched it, and barely knew it existed. That turns out to be the point. Its second season holds a perfect hundred percent with critics and ninety-six with audiences, and…
2020sStar Trek: Starfleet Academy rates minus ten thousand on the rewatch scale. It is the worst thing I have ever watched, film or television, and that includes Battlefield Earth. Pure garbage. Horseshit. Something written by small children with crayons on…
2020sStar Trek: Strange New Worlds carries no rating here because I have not watched it. This page is an honest survey of what other people think, and the short version is that it is the best reviewed modern Star Trek,…
1970sStar Trek: The Animated Series rates 7 out of 10 on the rewatch scale. Twenty-two episodes, atrocious Filmation animation, and writing good enough that it holds up anyway. The first Star Trek to win an Emmy, for an episode from…
1980sStar Trek: The Next Generation rates 6 to 7 out of 10 on the rewatch scale. A hundred and seventy-six episodes with a ceiling higher than almost any television of its era and a floor that includes the most embarrassing…
1960sStar Trek: The Original Series rates 6 to 8 out of 10 on the rewatch scale, with The Trouble with Tribbles at the top and Spock's Brain as the outlier at 1. Heavily dated, cheaply built, corny in places, and…
1990sStar Trek: Voyager rates minus 1 on the rewatch scale, with exceptions for the Borg material and the Seven of Nine seasons. Reset button television. Nothing ever mattered because they needed to be lost again next week, and the conflict…
2020sMoonfall (2022) rates 3 out of 10 on the rewatch scale. Roland Emmerich spent around a hundred and forty million dollars of independent money on a film where the moon is a hollow alien megastructure, and it is one of…
2020sRebel Moon (2023) rates 1 out of 10 on the rewatch scale. Zack Snyder pitched this to Lucasfilm as a Star Wars film, was refused, and made it anyway with the names changed. It is Seven Samurai with the recruitment…
