We are a space station, not a starship, so you’ll be spending a lot of time with all these delightful side characters like: bisexual nonbinary fashion lizard. hologram of Frank Sinatra. goblins. goblin comes in 3 varieties: bartender, nephew, and idiot union agitator. :rommunism:
our doctor is a twink, our commander is antifa/ maoist and the captain talks to the gods sometimes when not leading a protracted people’s war. our constable is sometimes a liquid and possibly ace. the science lady is trans and part worm. :dax-stoked:
we have many fine storylines, such as: Goblin Does A Crime, Watch The Irishman Suffer, Linear Time is A Lie, or The Horrors Of War. As you stroll along our promenade enjoying a raktajino or delicious jumja stick, watch out for our nefarious villains: Pope Karen. capitalism. clones of Jeffrey Combs. and a horny bastard reptile man who seems convinced this is actually his show. we suspect he may be possessed by demons. Have fun!
Deep Space Nine: now with Worf™! :warf-wtf: .
He's a way less cultured version of Kirk. Kirk in TOS is way less yeehaw than people seem to think
Yeah, that's why I said "supposed"
We really never get more culture out of Archer than the fact that he named his dog after one of the Three Musketeers (pretty sure it's Porthos)
Apparently the writers thought that would be enough
He never really muses on subjects in the same way Kirk did and jumps to killing quite a bit faster
I'm really enjoying their absolute disdain for T'Pol and how they feel the need to argue with her and ignore her advice when she is the only one who knows what they're doing.
She's just a green-blooded Vulcan who doesn't understand we're in space to shoot things, steal dilithium crystals from other planets and damn the consequences!
'Listen honey, you have lots of logic and that's very cute but the men are talking now." Jonathan Archer I'm every episode
"Now let's rub space lotion on each other in the black light room again"
Jesus, those scenes are just softcore that makes me feel terrible for the actress that played T'Pal

The movies and a few bits people have heard about TOS episodes are most what people think Trek is. I think you hit the nail on the head with the characterization of Kirk, he's a tactician and a slightly rutheless one.
I'm enjoying Enterprise way more this go through than others, but yeah, building the federation should have been the series long background arc like the domion in ds9. The whole series should have been about that, but he Voyager also feel on its ass regarding its core concept so what's new with Rick Berman.
