  • I’m giving them a chance. I’m the only one in my friend group who will actually watch them. I made it through Picard. Like many others I enjoyed season 3, but barely made it through the rest. I somehow made it through Discovery. It had it’s moments, but so much of it was just terrible. I could barely get through it. It was a long and slow process. Now I’m on Strange New Worlds. I think I’m halfway through what’s out now. I’m enjoying it more than the other 2, but it’s still missing a lot of what I love about the older Star Trek shows. Still I’m the kind of person who wants to give things a chance even if the general consensus is that it’s terrible.



  • I do remember some decent moments in early TNG, but there’s a lot of racism and prejudicial bullshit. Also a lot of cheesiness. In general, I skip way more episodes of TNG when rewatching than I do with DS9 or Voyager, but I still think it’s all essential to watch at least once if you’re invested in the lore of the Star Trek universe. I’d still take all the bullshit and cheesiness a thousand times over in place of the current generation of Trek shows.


  • Oh yea, I remember that show. I couldn’t really get into it, but I heard a lot of good things from other people while it was airing.

    I thought you might have been talking about TNG. I’ve heard people recommending skipping the first 2 and half or 3 seasons of TNG to newcomers. I wouldn’t recommend that just because you’d miss out on a lot of character development and plot development. It’s pretty bad though. I always recommend DS9 to newcomers instead.
