    our captain gets pegged

    It’s been a while since I watched TNG, but I don’t remember this at all.

    After watching Lower Decks for 3 seasons and going back to TOS, I’m thinking about watching some of the middle entries. What are some of the meaningful differences between them. In other words: What should I watch?

      I highly reccomend DS9 and Voyager (in that order) if you did like TOS

      DS9 is much better since it follows a continuing plot instead of TOS which is more of a “monster of the week” format

      Honestly every series is enjoyable in its own right if you don’t take it too seriously. Even the worse ones like Enterprise are still fun to watch, even if they don’t hold a candle to others.

        I can enjoy them all, as you said.

        I watched the first season of discovery. It was pretty cool…I enjoyed all the characters. Now, though, it’s 2% story and 98% messaging. Wtf is this shit?

        It also starts disappearing from Amazon around season 3… if we’re talking Lower Decks.

          Oh, I was talking tng. Were we talking about lower decks?

          Edit: nope, it was TOS. We were both wrong haha. In which case I still maintain that it starts getting good after season three.

          well one could argue star trek is like hitler germany supressing art and stealing all kinds of shit. cant remember an artist really that extorted the entire art of another artist. you?

      Yeah she was never lesbian!

      She was straight. The mirror version of her was clearly bisexual

          Honestly, I’m not the biggest fan of the tendency to interpret platonic relationships as sexual ones. I do get the desire for more representation, but I just wish the community wasn’t so willing to ignore regular old platonic friendships.

          I’m sure that comes mostly from me as a guy who puts more emphasis on strong platonic bonds than sexual relationships. But I just don’t see Julian and O’Brien’s “bromance” as a boyfriend relationship, nor did I see Kira and Jadzia’s as dating either.

              I’m not saying fan theories aren’t allowed, I just said I’m not a fan of it.

              I would hardly call their outings “secret” when it involves Kira getting into costume and walking clear across the promenade before deciding the holosuite isn’t for her. I just didn’t interpret any of the details as “hints they were dating” when the simpler “friends going out to do something fun” was not only on the table, it was clearly the intention of the scene.

              For the record, I didn’t see Garak and Julian as dating either. Sure, Garak may have been trying, but Julian was more enamored with the spy scenario and intrigue than Garak himself as a potential partner
