What's a entertainment franchise (movies, games, etc) that has been milked but still puts out good products? (sh.itjust.works)

Despite what a subset of its fans say - Star Trek is still putting out decent content, on average. We get 10 episode seasons now and the majority of it is fun adventures and when it tries to do social commentary it never takes as hard line as it used to. But at least in the shorter seasons there's less chance of a Threshold or a Subrosa. Maybe its just me but I could watch Lower Decks on rotation

Lower Decks is the best, and most faithful, Trek since TOS.

Fight me.

What about TAS?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

I could never get into TAS. That is probably more a character flaw than failing of the series. I just... I don't know. I guess I've just never much cared about cartoons that weren't Looney.

But you're probably right, considering who went into making them.

Yeah that sunset is small.

Strange New Worlds has been pretty damn good and a return to form. Though you could say Season 2 went a little too hard with all the genre swapping per episode. I hope they tone it down and do a bit more of the anomaly of the week kind of thing in season 3
