So I wasn’t into it originally, but watching it again as an adult I’m kinda fond of TNG. Cast is amazing, stories are (mostly) great. But I just love how mature and optimistic it is, for the most part.
Seeing difficult questions of morality and strife - seeing people consistently confront those situations with incredible ethics, empathy, and like, well, ADULTS…it’s super-refreshing.
And I like the parts of that which shone through into Voyager, DS9, and Enterprise (in that order, at least what I saw of them. I sorta got into Voyager.
Watching Picard, a lot of the characters are there, but most of what I seem to like about TNG isn’t. Plus a bunch of the plot is just nonsense and crappily written. I really don’t like it.
I tried watching some of DIS here and there but it fucking sucks (IMO). SNW still seems to have too much melodrama and stuff I just don’t like. Maybe if I wasn’t trying to compare it to TNG or VOY subconsciously, I would like it more; who knows.
Orville is alright.
Everyone says Lower Decks is really great, and I love Futurama and Venture Bros and Rick and Morty and etc. It probably IS great. But I don’t really want throwaways about how phasers can’t melt steel beams and fart jokes in Trek.
TNG is my favorite too. I think Lower Decks really walks the fine line of being a little bit silly but still being serious enough to feel like core trek.
No start with “The Next Generation”, or “Star Trek: The Original Series” if you like older shows
They are better, then move on to lower decks if you like comedy in a star trek setting then strange new worlds
I’d also recommend star trek prodigy, it can be watched as a family
Star trek picard season 1 and 3 are okay but depart from general star trek quality, season 2 is an absolute clusterfuck of awfulness that should be avoided and I have made my own headcannon that it was just another ones of q’s games where they messed with reality creating an awful fever dream of reality and bullshitted about themself dying just to mess with picard again just to fix that godawful season in my mind
The thread you linked shows Flying Squid being quite reasonable while being unfairly accused of being a pedophile for having photos of their newborn child. It’s not a great example of them being unlikeable.
I understand the position in opposition to the squid’s (very common) opinion that it’s OK to have a nude photo of your baby which might be playfully and innocently used to embarass them as an adult. At no point in that thread did the squid take a position in favor of creating trauma for anyone. I would imagine, like most parents, if their daughter made it clear to them that showing the photo was a traumatic experience for them, the squid would never show it.
Also, the squid was never mean or unfair in that thread. It’s just not a good example of them being unlikeable, in my opinion. If anything, their demeanor while being unfairly called a pedophile only makes them more likeable.
Yes, I know you hate me because I have a photo of my daughter naked when she was a newborn, which makes me a pedophile. That was established by multiple people in that thread.
All the star trek guys
I’m not a huge Star Trek person, but it really is one of the best communities here with some of the best people.
Start with Strange New Worlds. It’s the best new Trek in 30 years. You can find it on the Bay or wherever you get your videos.
If you aren’t hooked by the end of season 1, yeah it’s probably not for you.
Thanks for that.
I tried the first few episodes. I didn’t really like it, unfortunately.
Lower Decks is a little bit sillier if that’s your thing.
Sometimes yes, but definitely not with Trek.

Guess I’m just picky :)

I’ll give it a shot. Thanks tigeruppercut.

Except me apparently, if you read the rest of this thread.
Thank you for your sacrifice
I do it for the glory of the Terran Empire.
People have their reasons for disliking you and I agree with them because my experience with you matches what they are saying flyingsquid
I came to dislike you because of the way you acted in this post
