Star Trek - Space: The Final Frontier

I actually like Strange New Worlds, and while I think Ethan Peck does a good job as Spock, the show doesn't really understand how Vulcans work.

There's an episode where Spock becomes human, and they act like being Vulcan naturally makes someone stoic, not years of mental training, so Spock struggles to control his emotions. Hell, that same episode has a scene where Spock eats bacon with his hands, which goes against Vulcan etiquette.

They double down on this misunderstanding again this season. I like the show but this clip is bad.


I also don't like when technology is essentially just magic. At least in TNG when they changed species it was done by the doctors with procedures.
 
Remember the time Quark trooned out?
Seasons 3 through 6 were peak Quark.

S1 is Quark running harebrained scams, getting the entire station involved, like this little freak is singlehandedly keeping the station's security employed.

Jadzia dies and suddenly the writers are like, “What if Quark... grew emotionally?” And it’s like, no! Stop! That’s not what he’s for.
 
Remember, out of everyone in the entire cast, Quark is the first one to learn about the Dominion, all because of a get-rich-quick scheme.
There are a handful of moments in DS9 that, to me, encapsulate what Trek is about.
  • This real shit right here.
  • Quark becoming head of a Klingon Noble house because he balanced a spreadsheet
  • Martok promising to add a verse about Garak and Bashir to his war hymn
