Inspired by gregorum’s post concerning issues with startrek.website, which is ironic as lemmy.world is a bit glitchy right now and isn’t letting me upload and had to use my alt here.

    I liked them. They’re the first time my wife got interested in Star Trek and an appreciation for sci-fi. It’s very hard getting people into this stuff using old studio shows from the 20th century.

      I’ve heard similar from others that it works as a wedge in the door. That’s when you take the opportunity to slip in that DS9.

        DS9 of all things? With those exquisitely boring first three seasons? That’ll get them off the hook right away!

      My first new Trek was TNG, which I enjoyed, along with DS9. Then, I just lost interest and didn’t stick with anything until the Kelvin movies. That got me back in, though Discovery nearly killed it, then Strange New Worlds and Lower Decks reeled me back in.

      The Kelvin movies are not the Trekkiest Trek media but they aren’t horrible movies.

      Of course, nothing has yet to dethrone GalaxyQuest as the best Star Trek movie of all time.
