I feel you. Depending on your opinions about Voyager, Trek really is struggling to capture what worked about TNG/DS9, almost like modern TV doesn’t know how or cant do it. In the end, my critique about Voyager is that it is an example of what often happens to crafts … they get perfected right in the moment of redundancy. Voyager was pure synthesised TNG-era trek right when it had been done to death. Everything since has either been a prequel or reboot, with the Abrams films being both and SNW sadly hinting/heading in that direction.

Enterprise was the first attempt to try something kinda different but sadly fell into the prequel trap (where Trek is literally about looking forward!!) and dug up the worst of the inclinations of the remaining show runners, where it’s clear as day that Piller and Taylor had left Trek by that point, where together with Behr for DS9 seem to have been the heart of TNG-era, and IMO “peak” Trek.

I still remember seeing Enterprise for the first time as a kid and swearing that it was a cheap knock off of Trek and was surely going to be sued for copyright infringement … none of it made any sense to me as a continuation of Trek.
