It wasn't long ago that Patrick was the internet's favorite Captain. The Captain who didn't lose his marbles (Avery) or commit war crimes (Mulgrew) or get fat. Fans were posting memes of Patrick standing in the middle with the caption, "Look like only one Enterprise came with a gym."

Well, your outside reflects what's within and Stewart has become nuts. William Shatner is more easygoing and doesn't give a damn. Wasn't he trying to help the Spce Force to have better ranks while Levar Burton and Number 1 where reeeeeeeing about it?

Watching him try to talk Rush down from the edge is a reminder of why I stopped paying attention to politics.
The culture war has stomped such a mudhole into any kind of debate. All we're left with is perpetual anger.
I'm trying to rewatch DS9 for the first time since I was a kid and knowing about all the back stage stuff and Avery Brooks being an asshole to everyone has kind of poisoned it from the get go. At least when I watch TNG I forget that the movies and the Picard show exist.

I actually never bothered to watch it, but I suppose that speaks for itself.

Just got into Star Trek a few months ago from a request by a friend, and I’m starting at TNG and loving it. Just starting season 6, once I finish season 7 are the later series worth watching? Not experienced enough to know when it starts to become nu-trek. Also unsure if I should go back and watch the original series too.

DS9 is the best series next to TOS, which is what you should have started with.
Voyager is just about universally reviled. I personally liked Enterprise, but others don't.

Really goes to show that Shanter is one the few non spergs form the franchise.

You're lucky.
Sure, you can watch TOS (it's a bit rough but it's worth it), Deep Space 9, Voyager and Enterprise.
Ignore the rest (JJ-Trek, Discovery, Picard, Lower Decks).

I suppose as a TOS fag I do get a bit of smug satisfaction from Picard being dethroned from the Kirk vs Picard debate (which in my opinion was always one-sided nonsense anyway, TNG fans have always been really touchy).
I do have to wonder how much of it was influenced by Patrick Stewart himself though. Its clear that Kirk's perception in pop culture was influenced by Shatner's desire to project him as a badboy ladies man rebel. Likewise Stewart probably did a great deal to encourage this idea that Picard is a calm and thoughtful leader. Its just sort of hilarious becuase while Shatner is a jokey putz behind the facade, Stewart behind his facade is a pent-up nerd who just wants to make women's clothes fall off and do redneck offroading. You couldn't possibly contradict the character you helped make famous more.
Give TOS a shot. I screened most of it on movienight a few months back and I was surprised at how much even the younger people liked it. It seems to be a boomer thing to treat TOS like its hokey and goofy; its really not any dumber than TNG was capable of being; just more colorful and oldschool.
Try to find the non-remastered version with the original special effects though. What they did to the show with CGI was criminal. A few episodes are improved by the CGI, but they're very few and far between. Plus the CGI just does not gell with the 1960s look and feel of the show. And on top of that its dated as fuck 2006 CGI that would look out of place on the original XBox.

They need to make a show about the YTMND version "Pacard" where he has dreadlocks and lives the island lifestyle, man.
Yes Jamaica we have a bobsled team!

I know, but in the early episodes (and possibly later on) he gives off the vibe that at any moment he could snap and start shooting up the station. I think the cast of DS9 will take me a while to get back into, I mostly remember Garak so it was a surprise to find out that he's only in 40 or so episodes.

Archer is kind of an asshole. Sisko has anger management problems, and struggles with them.
They drop hints that he was a real hothead in the Academy. Not a 'thrill-seeker' like Picard before the transplant. I'm talking emotionally unstable.
