I think I’ve watched the first two seasons enough to skip most of those episodes. Maybe I’ll just watch my favorite ones or the ones I don’t remember.
I’m totally watching the one where insects take over the star fleet admirals.

I agree the end of a series can feel a little draining as the stories conclude. I get that way with books too.
Lots of rewatches of the trek series, and I do skip ones that are boring to me, sometimes I just follow main story arc with ent and voy, but there are some really good bottle episodes that I miss that way.
If it feels like work to watch an episode, then I skip it. Sometimes it's the topic, or my mood, or life.
Enjoy tng again!

At this point when I re-watch Voyager, I tend to skip the episodes that don't interested my. In my opinion, Voyager has issues with consistency, that I believe comes from fatigue in the formula the series' in the (80s/90s/00s) used. There are some very high highs (message in a bottle, scorpion, blink of an eye) but equally low lows (threshold, any ireland based holodeck episode. Neelix and Kess stories). So its worth it for the ones you enjoy, but don't sweat the bad ones - unless you want to watch everything

In the past 10 years I've prolly rewatched TNG like 2-3 times, DS9 once or twice and voyager a few times as well.
Haven't rewatched Enterprise. Might do that after I finish rewatching American gods.

Same here but also, when a series is starting to get old when you’ve rewatched too much too recently or whatever, those “bad” episodes can be a fresh experience due to consistently avoiding them lol

I used to hate fairhaven eps too until rewatches taught me to love them lol

In my opinion enterprises theme song is what keeps people from watching it more.
It’s actually really good especially the last season.

I’ve seen those bad episodes once also so I’d say that I paid my dues. But I don’t think threshold was that bad of an episode. It was a silly story, but it was still really fun to watch.

Oh I enjoyed it. It's just a tad new for what I go for, which is the late 80's to mid 90's scifi with boring one camera angles most of the time and just the effects are believable but also some times rather laughable. Depends.
Anyway good sort of background watching. Enterprise iirc has a tiny bit more action on the screen just in terms of camera angles even if not action action
TNG is almost like a stageplay

But are you tough enough to watch the clip show?

The theme song is god awful, Trek themes should have lyrics. But my bigger problem was Kes. Her routines annoyed the hell out of me. Once she left, Neelix was a much less annoying gand Seven of Njne pointed the crew. Jeri Ryan is a much better actress than Jennifer Lien.
The Borg kids, though, awe AWFUL!

B-Dunks’ performance is masterful in Threshold. It’s every hammy instinct one could muster up, but with production value. The tongue scene alone is amazing.

I usually skip all historical holodeck episodes in VOY, besides the WW2 ones

I like seeing realistically flawed characters in star trek. Not "under alien control" flawed, but "seems to think they're doing the right thing somehow" flawed. The last couple of seasons of enterprise, where archer did some really dark shit and hand waved the morality with "we're facing an existential threat!" really hit home during the bush era.

I researched Voyager not too long ago and what I hadn't realized until I did was how much it was all about Kess and then after that all about 7 of 9.

Starting with Season 5, Voyager did what the TNG movies did: they focused on the captain and the most popular crew member. Janeway & 7 of 9 became the new Picard & Data.
