I'd think of it as I've worked with some incredible people over the years, but once they leave you keep in touch less and people talk about them less.

Very impressive you got him in that. Pumpkin is not a fan of clothing.

I miss this kind of strategy game. Let me build up a base and stomp on the enemy with overwhelming force. Then mix in the odd stealth and/or unit only missions. Love it.

In fact it felt like a live-action Lower Decks more than the actual Lower Decks crossover episode.

I do like the odd stealthy mission though when you're controlling a sniper and some cloaked units.

I think it's just the first season and a bit that's not aged as well. It is still good though and definitely gets better as it goes along.

Oh wow, you are in for such a treat! Yeah there are a couple of awful episodes and I think TNG has aged the worst, but TNG, DS9 and Voyager were my formative shows growing up and I will forever love them.

Much as I found Neelix a much more interesting character as an adult. His and Tuvok's relationship is one of the best bits of Voyager.

As a kid I found Lwaxana annoying. As an adult I found the episode with her comforting Odo when they get trapped together in a lift (I think? He needed to turn into a puddle anyway) very moving and I was really sold on the character then.
