It’s absolutely slower and different (and I don’t rewatch it as often as TOS/TNG), but I think it’s unique and fun. Whenever I watch TOS or TNG, I always imagine what it would be like if we followed life on one of the outposts they visit and never show again. Taking place in a fixed location feels more “slice of life” and continuous, at the trade-off of losing the sense of exploration and discovery.
