Meh, don't feel bad. I haven't watched disco, snw, or Picard yet. I probably wont watch all of disco due to all the time line problems I have with it, but there's nothing wrong with me not watching them as long as I'm not shitting on other FOR watching and enjoying them.
Idk how much you liked Voy, but I totally get why people who love TNG might not like DS9 or Voy as much. They're quite different shows, and were intended to be different from the start.. You do you, and if you end up finishing them, cool. If not, we'll just talk about TNG.
Out of those three you listed, SNW is the most worth the watch imo. Feels like old trek without feeling like old content
As for the second paragraph you wrote, I agree. May father is one of those people, doesn’t really care for ds9/voy. He started me on TNG and I’ve loved every piece of trek since so everyone is a bit different in that regard
I do plan on watching them at some point, and I was planning on starting with SNW actually.
Now that Picard is apparently not continuing, I suppose I can't put it off any longer. I just feel like, from what I've seen so far, they basically went "that whole utopia you were sold in the other shows was ACTUALLY A LIE! SYKE!" which really just feels like new showrunners trying to "leave their mark" but going too far and hitting "change the whole universe entirely"
I think going from DS9 to Voyager is jarring because the characters in DS9 are so well rounded and three dimensional and basically everyone in Voyager feels flat in comparison. The Doctor and Seven save it.
Depends how far you got. I think it picks up a lot from season 4, on season 6 during a rewatch atm and I forgot how good it was at this point. In true trek style season 7 gets silly in some places, but the finale is amazing. I would definitely recommend finishing it
