Season 3 wasn't that bad.

yes it was. it was just so full of memberberries that everyone gave it a pass

No, it actually had a decent plot, characters and conclusion, unlike the first two seasons. They had plot and plot vessels but nothing else.

If you are old enough to memberberry, then you should be old enough to remember original Star Trek: The Next Generation first season was similarly bad.

The people that coined that term actually liked season 3 but I think they still don't recommend it because the hack fraud that directed the first two seasons ruined Star Trek forever. Just like JJ.

And nutrek

can you say something redeemable about the plot that doesnt invoke "brought back the cast"?

no, because i didn't watch it. I've never really been into star trek. i watched a few of the movies - nemesis and the one before it, the jj one(s) and then i was done.

If i can remember the review it was "this is a capstone on TNG and probably the entire franchise for most of the older fans" and the first two seasons being disregarded, seasons 3 is "passable"

sorry the you was more rhetorical than specifically directed at you!!
