I thought it was widely accepted that season 1 and 2 were not very good.
And the skirt among other things in the show arw definitely dated and at times sexist.
Im not sure what you guys are defending? lol
I love Star Trek but I don’t pretend some of the crap they have pumped out in the past is gold
They were transitioning from 80s to 90s TV. This isn’t like the millionth boring anime series that fans say “gets good after episode 150”, it was literally the 2nd try at Trek ever. No one’s saying season 1 or 2 is gold (although there are good eps in there), but the first season is like TOS with growing pains. There’s a reason it got 7 seasons, and if it’d been a total failure none of the other shows would exist.
If you like Voyager, DS9, and Enterprise there’s no way you wouldn’t like TNG. Giving up on the entire run because the first couple seasons weren’t great after an almost 20 year hiatus from TOS is why your position seems a bit strange.
Continuing to watch a show that isnt good in the hope it gets better in a few seasons, now Thats strange. It’s also why I won’t watch game of thrones, I know the ending sucks now so what’s the point.
And you’re right, im a TOS fan. I don’t like ds9 and voyager. I like TOS, SNW and similar
It’s a serialized 90s show, you don’t have to watch the early seasons to understand the later ones. Pick any episode and just watch, as long as it isn’t a 2-parter, you’ll likely get the gist of what’s going on. There are some longer story arcs that do span multiple episodes or even seasons, but the information is more at the “Lore” level than “necessary to understand what’s going on in this episode”.
Eg, if you knew the back story, you’d have had a better chance at catching the pun in the last sentence. But all you’re missing out on is maybe exhaling a bit quicker as you read it and an eye roll.
Hell, if you don’t want to watch all the episodes, you might be one of the rare people who might even enjoy the clip episodes and how much they tried to set up an in-universe reason to be showing clips from previous episodes. Like Riker’s memory parasite.
