Yeah it's one of those shows where if you were a fan of it, then that's it. There has never been anything like this before and nothing like it can be realistically be made again. It inevitably turns you into a weird evangelist.
One of the reasons I really liked SWTOR, despite the many things I dislike, is the class stories give you something to keep your interest really early on. I've never really been able to get in to other MMOs that are mechanically similar because I'm bored out of my fucking mind with only a promise of potentially interesting end game content.
Every few years someone talks me into trying WoW and I spend one miserable night leveling then wondering why on earth anyone does this.
Going to second a viewing guide. There's like a thousand hours of Star Trek now, I don't blame anyone for not sitting through it all. Here is another I've used before https://old.reddit.com/r/DaystromInstitute/wiki/algernonguide_tng
The image of Bush in front of the mission accomplished banner still cracks me up to this day.
Never felt it in the first place, weekends always used to be stressful as a kid and it took a long time for them not to turn me into an anxious mess.
got a very sad laugh out of me
damn another dogshit capcom game? im shocked
As a non-American who didn't grow up with imperial, I still prefer it for fantasy. Metric sounds too modern and scientific. Also I feel like I have more room to fudge distances because it already sounds imprecise.
Would be a fun bit to make the players use metric in a magitech world though.
I love the website layout so much lmao
TNG first is the right way to do it. DS9 is in many ways a subversion and doesn't work as well without that context. The weight of Sisko's moral compromise from In the Pale Moonlight, DS9's undisputed best episode, comes from the frankly kind of naive idealism of TNG. Without it, you just get another generic "morally grey" circle jerk.
For people who don't want to sit through lie a 100 hours of TNG first, I'd recommend still watching it but using an episode guide to cherry pick the best/most important episodes rather than skipping it entirely.
