What's this?

Mount is excellent, but the rest of the cast is strong, too. They have done

a chilling reboot of the Gorn, an episode referencing Spock's marriage, and my favorite one an alternate retelling of the original series episode, Balance of Terror. Tons of easter eggs and references to the original series right down to the music.

I'm definitely a Trekkie though. I didn't watch more than a handful of Deep Space Nine and Voyager; wasn't into TV much then and haven't revisited. Enterprise was good I thought. Discovery is uneven (but it is where they introduced Mount as Pike). Picard, as well. Lower Decks is laugh out loud funny.

Damn they have almost as many entries as the Star Wars universe, which is definitely not my thing!
