This show is just so good.
Stupid and juvenile, yes, but it’s a love letter to fans in a way that only SNW comes close to being.
Exhibit A: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=wykudfjTw1Q
The opening scene of episode 1 hooked me.
And every reference for the next twenty minutes made sure I stayed.
I love Boimler's captains log.
I can almost hear the record scratch as he says "But we don't do that..."
I'd argue that sometime around late season 2, it went beyond being a mere "love letter" and just became a masterpiece of its own. I feel like seasons 3 and 4 contain episodes that are in the top tiers of any Trek. The only episode I think that can be considered among the worst in the franchise is "A Mathematically Perfect Redemption". For the rest of them, though, I feel like they develop relationships very well in a way that rivals even DS9.
