From the new(ish) Star Trek shows I really liked Lower Decks and mostly liked Strange New Worlds and the last season of Picard (you can watch that season on its own, especially if you’ve watched TNG).

I have mixed feelings about Enterprise, but would recommend it as well. It’s only 5 seasons, so …

TV has also changed a lot since the TNG-era, so if you like the vibe of those shows, I’d recommend checking out other sci-fi shows from that time.

All of that is highly subjective of course.

This is conjecture as there are continuing anti-war protests in Israel by a number of different actors and groups, e.g.:

In May 2024, 1,400 academics signed a petition calling for an end to the war Israel–Hamas war protests in Israel, Wikipedia

In my opinion, the way you phrase your comment crosses into antisemitic narratives as the comment implies (at least in my reading) that all the people protesting are anti Palestine. Please note I’m not saying that you are in any way antisemitic. It just irks me how that comment is phrased

“Without the return of the hostages we will not be able to end the war, we will not be able to rehabilitate ourselves as a society,” Ron Tomer, president of the Manufacturers’ Association of Israel. Te me, “Rehabilitation” implies a level of dissent with Netanyahu’s actions.

That’s upsetting. Thank you.

And now he’s considered “perhaps the most important person in Starfleet history” (and one of my favorite characters in all of Trek)

Not directly related but: I’m rewatching TNG and it’s so fun to see the character of Miles O'Brien emerge. Just through the sheer charisma of Colm Meaney.

I also think Chapel is very good at her job, but nurse and doctor are two different career paths. You don’t graduate being a nurse by becoming a doctor.

Kynk and Nandi from Lower Decks and Prodigy respectively :)

I don’t recognize Chaotic Evil and Neutral Good, can somebody enlighten me?

The other link seems to be down. It’s a frame from a video by hbomberguy. The context is a short bit by Ben Shapiro where he says that people should just sell their homes if they are swallowed by the sea due to climate change. To which hbomberguy responds: Sell them to whom, fucking Aquaman?!
