No, but there should be. I've created a TNG one & Voyager, but haven't seen any Enterprise specific.

I was talking with my stupid 22 year old co worker about the nonsense she watches on TV and YouTube and it turned around on me and what I like, so it turned into a challenge. She has to watch and answer ten questions I wrote about the TNG episode Measure of a Man and I have to do the same for a makeup tutorial.

I just remembered something I have not thought of in years and years...When I was a kid I had a hard covered Star Trek "Manual" which had everything from detailed schematics of the ship to tons and tons of "trivia" about the series. Wish I still had it!
Check out memory alpha if you like that kind of stuff. I love it. All the minutia and back stories. There’s a random article function like Wikipedia and that can keep me entertained for hours.

I just read something interesting today about the various Star Treks. Almost every series has approximately the same favorability rating between fans and critics. For example, STTNG enjoyed about an 85% rating from both critics and regular viewers Alike. STDS9 had about 80% from each.

The only exception was for ST Voyager which most critics liked (about 80%) but was mediocre among viewers (about 55%). I didn't watch the Voyager series so I was wondering why the significant difference in attitudes about the series from regular viewers compared to critics.
 
Voyager had some great episodes but I think it's the weakest show besides Discovery. Janeway is the main problem. Every other captain has been great in some way. She had nothing going for her. Not charismatic or relatable or interesting. The rest of the cast wasn't so great either.
Lots of bad acting compared to the performances on the other series. Critics claiming to like it maybe just because the captain was female doesn't seem all that unlikely.

You can have a nightcap, curl up with a blanket and start any Voyager episode and if you doze off for a bit while watching it or sleep through the whole thing it does not matter.

While going through the series with The Wife I fell asleep about every third or so episode. When I woke up it was as if I never drifted off.

Nether good nor bad, it was a filler series.
Just Gilligan's Island In Space.
