Yeah. Trek is very rough.
I did think Picard Season 3 finally did it right. I honestly didn't hate Picard as a whole. Far from perfect, but a far better attempt.
Discovery became almost kind of watchable with the time jump. It could have been salvaged by moving Burnham to the background, but alas... Burnham Christ must cry every situation away.
And Lower Decks is fun, but I wish Paramount wasn't trying to suggest it actually takes place in Star Trek. Like, let it be a fun parody/tribute show.
Infinite's artwork is nice... the game is kind of "meh". It's not terrible.
They have done a good job in trying to adapt a 4x game to fit well into a defined time period. The artwork is done as a labor of love for Trek and has some fun nods that could have been ignored, like some of the Cardassian portraits have the old TNG-style uniforms.
What is more of a problem was using Stellaris as the base. Stellaris is a fun game, but given the focus on ships in Trek... it doesn't work. Space warfare is just... Stellaris, swarms of tiny ships zipping all around the system. You barely see the ships and they don't behave at all like Trek ships.
The biggest failure of Stellaris is the Pop system is absolute dogshit and needs to be axed
