star trek as a series really is just. so good. yeah i've enjoyed some of the new stuff, too (strange new worlds really has the same feel as the early stuff!) but man. the original series was already groundbreaking. the next generation just layered on top of it. i'm working my way through ds9 now and it opens on such a heavy-hitting episode (wow!! trauma!!!!) (also picard is such a beloved character to many and sisko HATES him so politely it's incredible) (like he is certainly justified! but wow!!) and of course voyager was the one i actually watched first + all the way through first (i've since watched all of tng) but yeah. i really do think tng is probably the best one to start with if you haven't watched star trek before. and of course each one is a product of its time and so some of it is campy or not how we see the world today but. it's sooo good. so good.

#libra.txt #star trek #and i'm not just saying this because data and geordi are two of the most characters of all time #but they really are two of the most characters of all time #like each series tackles so many different themes and issues #and the settings in which they explore them are fascinating!#like tng gets to just run away from their problems since they are an exploration vessel! ds9 is stuck facing their problems bc they're #a space station! voyager fights all their problems bc they want to go home!#but tng has a lot of episodes that i think a lot of people should watch regardless of if they're star trek fans or not #the measure of a man? incredible #darmok? blows your socks off #let this be your last battlefield? stellar #(measure of a man is data-centric. court case about android rights)#(darmok is about cultural differences and language barriers. your universal translator only goes so far!)#(let this be your last battlefield is about racism and prejudice. and to be fair i don't really remember it except for the makeup. sorry)#a lot of the data-centric eps are very good tho.#am i just saying this bc i love androids? no <3 #brent spiner just went full ham on some of those and you know what? good for him
