Discovery I thoroughly enjoyed, up to the point I last watched, which was I think the end of season two? Pike I don't know: are you talking about Star Trek: Picard? Ain't seen that. Or the newest one, Strange New Worlds? Ditto, though I hear good things.

It goes to show how little tv I've been allowed to watch. The kids commandeer it when they're home. My wife gets it the rest of the time. I haven't seen the Picard spin off. I didn't even know about Prodigy.

Prodigy is basically I think for kids. It's animated and has the voice of Captain Janeway. I have no idea if it's any good but I'll basically watch any Trek.

I don't think a lot of the new movies. The first one was ok, the second was just The Wrath of Khan rewritten, literally, and the third I remember falling asleep while watching it it was so boring.

No, it's not an opinion. It literally was.
Star Trek II: Wrath of Khan director Nicholas Meyer (from which the film borrows and remakes some scenes), revealed in 2018 that he had been disappointed with the film. He was quoted as saying: "In my sort of artistic worldview, if you're going to do an homage, you have to add something. You have to put another layer on it, and they didn't. Just by putting the same words in different characters' mouths didn't add up to anything, and if you have someone dying in one scene and sort of being resurrected immediately after, there's no real drama going on. It just becomes a gimmick or gimmicky, and that's what I found it to be, ultimately."
