There's probably stuff in the first couple seasons you can skip, but from the season 2 finale onwards you're better off just watching it all with very few exceptions, yeah.

A surprising number of guest stars appear on both shows, too. The "hey, it's that guy" factor might help some folks get into B5 who otherwise wouldn't.

That would've been fine if they hadn't combined it with totally making GBS threads the bed on the depiction of the Vulcans themselves in general.

It was way better after the season 4 vulcan re-reformation episode where they sorted that poo poo out though. Terra Prime was just the kind of thing we were expecting from Enterprise.

The initial depiction was dumb yeah, but there were exceptions here and there. #notallvulcans I guess. I was fine with how they retconned that stuff in the re-formation episodes, explaining away their earlier behaviour as the result of a Romulan infiltration program made sense since the show was building to the war at that point anyway. If the series had continued we'd probably remember a lot of that rough early characterization a lot more favourably, or just be more willing to handwave it, even if it took a retcon to give it purpose.

Enterprise is such a loving weird show compared to the others.

At that point, they should just make Space Quest 5 into an actual TV show.

That's easily my favourite of the Space Quest games so I'm all for it.

Every episode should have a post-credits killscreen version of an earlier scene complete with snarky narration.

Bringing back the Borg and Ferengi was dumb but honestly that only accounts for like two episodes out of eighty-something, so I have a hard time caring about it. And they weren't even bad episodes really, just out of place. It's a low bar to jump but somehow the Borg episode was probably better than most of Voyager's endless Borg plots.

I think the real problem with Enterprise was the aimless time war arc, at least until it got spun into something else, and some of the "edgy" production decisions which plagued a lot of television in the 00s. But it could've been a lot worse if the network had their way. "Next week on Star Trek: Enterprise: special guests Finger Eleven!"

I like to think that Kirk was secretly miserable all the time and felt compelled to destroy everyone else's happiness at every opportunity just out of spite. One of the many funny things about Star Trek fans is how many of 'em bend over backwards to justify and rationalize that behaviour.

It's almost as if the writers were making poo poo up on an episode by episode basis and didn't have a real plan for what the Maquis were actually supposed to be.

Pretty much, yeah. The only plan I can think of was that they wanted a band of mullety rebels for Voyager. I don't think the Maquis were ever really meant to represent any real world political groups in particular.

There are folks who wander off into the mountains or the desert for whatever reason and get really attached to their little slice of wilderness, especially once they've built the place up to be reasonably self-sustaining and start having kids who'll presumably inherit everything later on. It's a lifestyle thing more than a political thing; the Maquis strike me as a combination of that hippy commune stuff with the much more militant survivalist/prepper bullshit that always seems to end with people building bunkers or stockpiling canned goods and shotgun shells.

They're probably really big Propagandhi fans.

The only interesting thing you could do with Worf now would be to explore his human side. Dude was orphaned at 2 or 3 years old, spent his whole adolescence in Russia, and still pretends to be this ultra-klingon who's better than humans. A Captain Worf pilot would ideally have someone call him out on this bullshit and he spends the next seven seasons watching Julia Roberts movies and drinking root beer.

Worf swaps his sash for a sweater vest. Vacations on Risa, wears socks with sandals.
