    I’ve never been a big Trek fan, preferring to align with Star Wars in the false choice between them.

    However this past weekend, I bought a Raspberry Pi box, and an 8tb hard drive, and the first thing I pirated was the entire first season of TNG.

    I propose we call this “doing a Lemmy”

      Idk if anyone has told you but the first season is by far the worst. I often recommend that people skip it honestly. So if you watched it and we’re still into it just get ready because it gets so much better

        I am quite enjoying it so far, to be honest. The completist in me would slog through the first season even if I didn’t enjoy it though.

        Keep in mind, though I’ve been immersed in sci-fi all my life and I’ve definitely seen Star Trek shows before (and all the pre-Abrams movies), but my expectations to this show are largely set by pop culture.

        Relative to those expectations, I was really surprised not far into the first episode by how thought-provoking it is. The character of Q was about t as far from (my expectation of) a Star Trek ‘villain’ as I could have imagined.
