    Legitimately weirds me out that anyone likes any nuTrek, including the new shows.

      Yeah it’s like someone who is really into DC superhero movies. It’s literally unfathomable to me. I’m not the biggest Marvel capeshit fan but I understand their appeal and they are well put together technically speaking. DC movies are shambling abominations and barely qualify as film

      Same. I grew up on TNG and I tried to watch Discovery and it just... wasn't it. It feels like every other generic sci-fi series out there now. I always think it's funny that people like to shit on the "people sitting in a room debating space politics" trope, but that's what I liked about it, even as a kid.

        TNG (at least after the first season and a half or so) is just an incredible show. It asks complex moral and philosophical questions, and actually takes them seriously. I was very young when it was on the air, and Picard was also a really excellent non-toxic male role model: decisive and commanding , but also kind, thoughtful, and emotionally intelligent. That was pretty rare in the late 80s and early 90s.
