Pike mentions that he would be excited to set foot on Archer’s Enterprise. In “These Are the Voyages…” we learn that he is the one who wrote the parameters for a popular holo-simulation where the user plays the role of the NX-01’s chef.

I don’t recall the program’s author being mentioned, much less it being attributed to Pike. 🤔

I deeply appreciated seeing some on-screen Enterprise love, because I feel like Enterprise gets a bum wrap.

I haven’t gotten around to Lower Decks, but this episode was simply brilliant even for me. Just sublime all around.

Couldn’t agree more. I despise musical episodes.

Controversial opinion, but I was disappointed to see such a shitty show so high on the list.

All in all I’d say each of the listed changes were for the best.

I think it’s because it’s so different from any of the other Star Trek themes, even from the rest of the Berman era. It’s bright, bouncy, optimistic, and bombastic. DS9 and Voyager were both more sweeping and majestic, and the movie themes each skewed more melodic.

The franchise hasn’t really captured the same energy in a theme since, either.

Oh if there’s one thing Berman-era Trek was good at, it was underestimating the fandom. 🤣😝
