I'm finding it a very root-beer-flavored entry in the franchise.

    Yes! They are so fallible, and believably so most the time, that I really appreciated their missteps.

    The only time I didn't appreciate thinking was when it decontamination time. I just pretend it is like watching an old b/w show with an embedded detergent ad: an unfortunate relic of its time that is just baked into it.

    Decontamination time is fucking stupid. Like, the idea of it is good because we literally did that with Apollo, but in practice it's just a chance to have semi-erotic fanfic play out as canon.

    Every day this world gets dumber and dumber and yet I'm still surprised by how completely incompetent and unstable the main ENT crew (sans T'Pol and Phlox) are. It is something that even by 2025 standards - which are just about the lowest standards for stupidity possible - these people probably could probably not get through a week working at Walmart without getting fired for like fighting a stranger or sexually harassing their coworker.
