What the hell, why is this so good. Like, I absolutely loved the show beforehand but I figured like other trek shows, it would stick to the status quo. But this is actual plot across multiple episodes. Things aren’t being resolved immediately and the escalation and intertwining of all these plot lines is just amazing.
Good shit.
Yeah I feel like a lot of these old shows benefit from modern streaming. I recently rewatched Farscape, and it has a similar format of a serialized plot but with an episodic style. The ways it takes advantage of that has made it one of my favorite shows. What might seem like a standalone episode might later turn out to be one of the most important events in the show. It really keeps you on edge and lends the universe a sense of consistency.
