JJ Trek had charm, cool space battles, and actual sexy women, enough to draw people into the autism vortex. It's not a replacement, fuck no, but on its own, it's a good baby's first Star Trek.

I was kind of in the same boat as you. My dad tried to show me Trek right after DS9 ended but I was too young to appreciate it. The first JJ Trek came out when I was in jr high and I remember going to see it but not liking it but people I knew who did like Trek seemed pleased enough.
As for what's actually a good entry point, I couldn't say. During the summer between junior and senior year, I was trying to get into the pants of a girl in the board game group and she was into Trek and Firefly among other things, so I started watching TNG and DS9. That went nowhere but it was chasing pussy, of all things, that got me into Trek.

Lil Welper saw it when he was 8, because his dad was a OG TOS fan. Then I rented the og movies, realized this shit was cool, and it became a HS obsession. Really I'd say JJ movies, then the TOS movies, then do what the fuck you want. TOS was my entry show, and I still love it

"Girl Bones" isn't much of a character, but it's still a lot more of a character than Crusher.

If the nuTrek shows were more like JJ Trek, I probably wouldn't have tapped out so early.

tbh if they had just gone to series with the cast after first FlareTrek it probably would have turned out okay
 
A little tidbit from enty:

Blind Items Revealed #14 - Back In The Day​


February 13, 2023
This is not really Old Hollywood. Several of the cast members of this hit show are still alive, although, very old. The show spawned other shows and movies and it all comes from a series of books. One of the more famous cast members, also hosted a long long running program that made you really think. He is the subject of the blind. Our actor was famous for getting drunk at bars in Hollywood. Staggeringly drunk. He also made it a point to never drive drunk. He would walk drunk though. Many times, our actor would be discovered sleeping a drunk off in an alley or pressed against the wall of a store. What he was known for though was trying to find women to sleep with he had to pay. He found that much more interesting than hitting on whatever groupies/fans he would meet in whatever watering hole he was in each night. The women of the night all knew of his predilections and would often wait for him outside a bar, hoping to be able to have sex with him. He paid well and usually was unable to perform because of the drinking. His favorites were those who didn't speak English because he liked to pretend he could speak all manner of languages but he really couldn't speak any.

enty often throws in red herrings into his blinds. Or he was just wrong, dunno which.

And you know one of those weirdos had some kind of forced impregnation fetish and a thing for Marina Sirtis.

Word is that it was an unused Phase 2 script dusted off at the last minute to fill an episode slot.

So you remember motion picture? You know Ilia (the bald chick from TMP) would have been the forced impregnated one.

I've been watching a youtube series "star trek voyager reviewed (by a pedant)", which has been rather entertaining. There's a lot of episodes I apparently either didn't see, or just plain forgot about, some of which seem to be pretty decent. Seven seems to have had a lot more character growth than I previously gave credit.

The reviewer is obviously an autist and is probably going to troon out at some point, and has an occasional tendency to spout off against some dumbfuck strawman about "politics in star trek", but he mostly sticks to discussing what made an episode work or not, so I can overlook it.

SFDebris is not only the superior reviewer, but he actually finished reviewing ALL of Voyager.

Ok, I watched episode 2 of ST:Strange New Worlds. Any hope I had is gone. They tried to redo "Measure Of A Man" which itself was not subtle, but now with 10x less subtlety. Including a black(and genetically modified) attorney for the defense, etc.

Yea I'm not feeling SNW this season.

But I did have a TOS marathon this weekend. It was glorious.

Bullshit what you posted is the shop. The other photo is the real deal. The 80's was a different time.

I agree, even though Data is my favorite character, I think having a character who was suspicious of androids was definitely needed as an opposing viewpoint. I think there could’ve been a lot more interesting interactions with her character.

But if you have to choose between her and the red-headed space MILF, you have to choose the MILF.
 
In looking for a clip of TNG, I found the greatest YouTube username.

I know Neelix got alot of hate from fans at the time but I didn't mind the character.

It's funny that Neelix is the only Voyager character that got a proper sendoff and an entire episode just to say goodbye. The rest of the crew got nothing. The final episode finished about 30 seconds after landing in the alpha quadrant.

Still feel bad for Lieutenant Carey who was demoted in Season 1 in favor of a Marquis Klingon affirmative action. Then killed like a week before getting home.

Somehow Tasha Yar is a beloved classic Star Trek TNG character and Pulaski went down the memory hole never to be referenced again. Laudable to include a female character who does nothing of note but get raped and killed, but I felt Pulaski was the stronger character nevertheless.

Pulaski gets a lot of hate for being the "replacement" but honestly on further viewings of S2 she grew on me and actually is a pretty decent and strong character in her own right.

And Yar owns, I'll fight you. Not every woman can woo Shooter McGavin.
 
What annoys a lot of people about Pulaski is that they tried recreating the Spock/McCoy dynamic with her and Data, but the difference is that Spock could hold his own and gave as good as he got back to McCoy. Data, not "getting" a lot of it didn't so it felt more like Pulaski was picking on the special needs kid.
 
Pulaski is 100 times better than Crusher:
She's a based bully of the special needs andriod.
Pulaski doesn't think it matters how your name is pronounced, retard. Your name sounds funny anyway.
She heckin outed Worf's girlfriend as a dirty half-breed in front of everyone because no one stays in the closet when Pulaski is aboard!
Picard was afraid of getting assassinated or something and refused to let her do heart surgery on him.
She ended up doing the surgery anyway, because she doesn't need his consent if he's asleep.
Pulaski understands that it's unmanly for Wolf to have a cold and purges the records.
Pulaski drinks poison just to see how it tastes, she's got the antidote, it's fine.

Her Data-bullying directly led to the invention of sentient holograms, we have Pulaski to thank for the EMH.
