No need to get emotional about this middling Trek series. Everyone knows TNG is the gold standard.
Plenty of us in fact absolutely hate the fact that modern TV is just one long running plot with no fun side stories.
The operative word being 'fun'. No one would be interested in a 'holographic heist plot' when the production values are so low that they would eventually stoop to Avery strangling a cat on stage in order to fill up the contractually obligated time slot.
E.g. Nog being required to open a safe, while Odo the sentient goop could just slide in and open it for them. It was full of plot holes, the acting was something that you'd see in a Nickelodean show and the singing could be used to ward off Houthi pirates.
Consider the following: they actually had to schedule studio time with a music producer to record those vocals of Avery Brooks. And for what? So that Avery could promote his little side-gig?
