I think you were successful. Building on the end of of ENT worked well. And I appreciated that you were able to get the Protogies in there. Really hoping that’s not the last time we get to see them.

I found the others terrible too but this one was actually funny. I loved how they made fun of “These are the Voyages” at the beginning.

And 'It’s been a long road…"

I agree, the others were terrible, but this one was just silly.

No EMH?

And no Moriarty either. Still, I was amused.

What actually happened here!?

This one was actually funny?

I say this one is canon and it’s proof that Trip didn’t die in enterprise. The hologram just got super inaccurate and twisted as it got passed around with lossy compression in a game of telephone like an old meme.

This one was actually really good, didn’t expect that

I’m surprised by this one. I think it is amusing. And, not offensive. This episode seems to actually get Star Trek, while gently poking fun. After the first two Very Short Treks, I wasn’t going to watch anymore of them. Didn’t watch the third one, and I don’t plan to do so. I’m glad I saw this one.

I was a huge, “Too Many Cooks” (same creator/director) fan way back.

I enjoyed/laughed at what I have watched. The Spock episode was great. Bloopers!

“Too Many Cooks” (same creator/director)

That’s the only thing that could have explained this in some way. Love a good bit of absurdism.

It’s not cannon but at least they are somewhat officially acknowledging the absolute dumpster fire that was the ENT finale.

This one wasn’t a dumpster fire like the last few, but I still feel it was a set up without a punchline. Something felt missing at the end for the payoff.

This was actually funny (unlike the previous ones which were quite cringey).

@GoodAaron@startrek.website ’s one was the one I’d been most hoping for from the time the Very Short Treks were announced, and so far it’s the only one that hasn’t disappointed me.

I have the sense that they are as a whole targeting at a very narrow audience demographic, principally of Americans who were young adults and teens in the late 90s.

I never quite got how ‘drinking poop’ preschool to 9 year-old boy humour took mainstream hold in Austin Powers (which I otherwise loved), but acknowledge it as having been a thing. I can even recognize intellectually that its in a long tradition of low humour that goes back to the ‘great fart’ of ‘The Miller’s Tale’ in Chaucer.

What I don’t get is why the folks who didn’t age out of this kind of humour seem to thing that there’s currently a huge untapped audience that’s just looking for the kind of stuff we got in the earlier VSTs.
