I just finished watching a 3 episode story arc from STAR TREK ENTERPRISE season 4>
It dealt with the Eugenics war (the underlying plot for "Space Seed") AND genetically enhanced humans in conflict with the 21st Century crew of USS Enterprise.
It starred Brent Spiner and ingeniuosly linked his character to Data from STTNG.
There was plenty of action, too!
SKip INTO DARKNESS and check out this well written variation on WRATH OF KHAN et al.

Re: "Paramount really pushed the property hard since the last season of TNG it was pushing out one series after another, three series, and the TNG film series. Generations was the apex of Trek popularity, it was a good time to love Trek. It was wall to wall, and popular, but they did go to that well too often in too short a period of time."
Except for the animated series, I watched most of them, including repeated viewings of the original, then TNG, then Deep Space Nine, then Voyager, then Enterprise. But I lapsed during Deep Space Nine and never watched too many of them. But TNG was excellent, and I happened to like Voyager. But was starting to burn out about the time of Generations, so have little memory of it.

I digested little of Deep Space in the first run, nor Enterprise. At first pass I did like much of Voyager, despite her duck like voice, there is much to be said for a female captain, and for Kate Mulgrew, and the production quality was very high on Voyager.
Generations, was a script mess, even Braga and Moore admit that on the commentary track, but it is a lovable sweet mess. The David Carson directors' audio track makes you like it more than you would otherwise. Again, the production quality on Generations was very high, and the score is very good too.

I have to admit that none of "Enterprise" ...
It's probably got more to do with me not finding any of the cast particularly charismatic, than any perceived fault of the stories. Charisma goes a long way.

That's my problem w/TNG!!!

Oh, Patrick Stewart and Levar Burton and Brent Spiner and Jonathan Frakes have lots of charisma, within the limits defined by the roles they played. Even Gates McFadden had lots of charm, for the little time she had on screen.
Michael Dorn, well Klingons are pretty much innately not charismatic unless you like yelling, spitting and fighting. He managed to eek out some more human moments here and there when the story permitted.
The TNG cast as a whole out charisma's the other later series. The best cast chemistry otherwise might be Deep Space, there are part of Voyager that work, and other characters that just did not, like Ensign Harry.

I liked most of the Star Trek series except for Deep Space Nine ( It wasnt even Star Trek with it being stuck on a boring space station ).
Regarding the trilogy og episodes mentioned in the OP.Yeah they were pretty good but Into Darkness was awesome!

I wasn't all that taken with the Harry Kim character, but at least he had more to do than Ensign Mayweather. I found him to be instantly forgettable.
Was that the navigator guy, yes, he was forgettable.
I agree that later the Klingons had good episodes, and when Worf come into his own apart from being by the Klingon code he was more interesting, I liked the Wild West episode with his son, totally silly, but more human and sweet.

It was nice to see him go to Deep Space Nine after O'Brien did.
