After many hours I was able to hack into the Paramount+ servers and find the TRUE ending of TNG.

When did everyone suddenly decide that Troi was a hideous goblin and Ol' Stoneface Janeway was a sex goddess? What dimension am I living in right now?
Anyway, B'Etor had nice tits.

Well, Troi is attached to some of the worst moments of Star Trek. (We found out years later that Kate and Jolene were low-key trying to improve their series.) Then you had a whole generation brought up on RedLetterMedia and other youtubers who have never known anything but Troi hate. To this day, if Troi shows up on screen, I automatically hear “Her general incompetence leads everyone to their doom" in that Plinkett voice.

I definitely agree that Troi being a feckless character contributes to my opinion that she's not a sexy character. Marina Sirtis is attractive on her own - on top of her being a fantastic actress whose roles in other TV and film I enjoy - but Troi is not. It seems like all she did was putz around and get mind-raped by pests.

You just know Troi is a nepo baby Starfleet has to put up with.

Actually given that long list of titles Lwaxana loves to spew out. You make a lot of sense. And when she pressured Deanna to join Starfleet, Troi went into "counseling" the "business school major" of the fleet. (which would be even easier with her slight empathic abilities)
I am totally embracing this fanon.

Somehow this is still a better written ending than enterprise and discovery had. Perhaps thats what she does with holographic archer in her spare time. After all everybody knows psychiatrists are neurotic as fuck, i'd bet money on her having more bizarre shit going on in her head than barclay. Probably has some hidden holodeck programming involving picking up a mini riker and using his beard as a toilet scrubber or some wackjob shit. Probably alot of weird shit going on in ezri's head as well come to think of it

OH, now I remember...Deanna Troi had a dead redshirt father. I must have mentally scrubbed him, because the show sure as shit doesn't care. No one ever explained how he died. He just stopped existing.
Then we get an episode where it’s revealed Deanna had a secret sister who also died tragically and offscreen.

Woke cultists love to say that Star Trek was always "progressive." But one major difference, of course, was that Star Trek from TOS to Enterprise always celebrated beauty.
Making actors look their best and have them lose weight was not only correct, but the bare minimum. It's literally an actor's job to look the part.
Meanwhile, Bad Robot Trek gives us people like Tilly who refuse to diet. Point is, maybe DS9 did lectured me by literally quoting the Communist Manifesto in an episode, but at least we had Jadzia Dax to glance at as eye candy. Now they expect me to do the same with whales and cat ladies.

It is likely more complicated aka "if you don't allow my daughter on the flagship of Starfleet, then I'm afraid, Betazed must oppose the increase of Starfleet's budget" or something like that. Federation domestic politics are as a shitshow as current year domestic clownworld politics are.

Wait is that a punishment for Betazed or the Breen?

A lesser-known section of the Treaty of Bajor was that a certain Betazoid ambassador was never allowed in Breen space ever again.

Interestingly enough, they do a reasonably good job in SNW. No landwhales, no cat ladies. Hell, Number One looks like Number One from the original TOS pilot.

Didn't they start that series by saying Trump caused WWIII?

They did a lot of stupid retarded things. Casting people who look the part however is this time not one of them.

Depends on your expectations. If you somehow can compartmentalise your memory and not think about STD even once, you might get some half-decent Trek.

Technically, they said that January 6th was something that led to World War III, and don't even mention Trump. That being said, they do play footage of January 6th over Pike's speech.
I'd say yeah. It's got a few duds (one episode tried comparing Spock's half-human/half-Vulcan heritage to being nonbinary), but it's still a solid viewing experience. Several plots feel like they belong on TOS while also serving as a great prequel to that show by introducing younger versions of classic characters like Uhura and Kirk. We even get an episode that discusses a hypothetical future where Pike stayed in command of the Enterprise during the battle with the Romulans in "Balance of Terror".
That being said, as Curzon mentioned, you still need to be somewhat familiar with Discovery as Pike's arc is a continuation of what happened in Season 2 of that show, where he learned about the accident that would cripple him in the future. Hell, the pilot focuses on a civilization accidentally getting their hands on warp technology thanks to the final battle with Control. Of course, you can always just start with the second or third episode if you want.
