I watched my first episode of TNG today. It was an episode where where the crew land on a mysterious planet that's pitch black with a revolving door that takes them to a mysterious Earth casino which turns out to be the setting of a badly made fictional book. It tried to be like Twilight Zone or Half-Life where it brings up more questions than it answers, but unlike those two series, it doesn't explain much that happened in the episode at all and it didn't have much of a style. There was lots of things that didn't make much sense and weren't explained. The episode was called " Hotel Royal". I looked at multiple "worst of" Star Trek TNG episodes and this wasn't even on there, though it's still considered a bad episode. I'm assuming this series is filled with episodes like these and I'm not sure if I want use my time watching these episodes.

they literally explained everything in that episode
you watched one of the few "good"eps of tng. tng is fucking garbage.
>muh character scenes
>muh pointless dialogue from X
waste of time. Watch TOS.
>TNG is garbage
>watch the series that is even worse
K E K
Watch DS9 and be done with it, OP
TOS is so much fucking better. TNG is pretentious and full of technobabble. It's almost as bad as the reboot.
Watch TOS and DS9.
>DS9
kekeke your opinion's fucking garbage
Movies > TOS >>>>> voyager >>>>>>>>>>>>>> tng > ds9
>almost as bad as the reboot
reboot's only bad in so far that it doesn't hold a cancle to TOS, as stand alone films they make for entertaining flicks.
I don't know who to believe
This is accurate.
TOS is 60s garbage, with bad acting outisde of DeForrest and Nimoy and extremely bad writing.
Also 3 seasons and only half of one has actually good episodes.
If you think discovering a planet were America existed too to the point they even have the same constitution and Kirk saving the day by quoting it is good sci-fi you have problems. Or the episode with the Space Romans adoring Mars, Jupiter etc.
Or the episode where someone steals Spock's brain and they have to chase it. Etc.
TNG is more of the same but with 80s aesthetic and writing.
DS9 is actually good with characters with depth, arcs and modern writing that makes it timeless.
VOY is a disaster and ENT tries to ape the older series which were garbage
Start off with the old movies, if you got free time watch TOS, that's it. your graphjust follows the "xD tos is campy and tng is the true thinking-man's show" meme. TOS explored important philosophical questions and each episodewas like a movie being submitted by freelance writers, tng was made by a writing team trying to push out 24eps of trash in a year. Naturally tng writing staff was bad so 75% of the show had to be trivial characters like troi, worf, geordi, etc. having pointless dialogue that doesn't further the plot, because """character development""" is """smart""" writing. even Data who's a great character is annoying because of how much forced dialogue he has.
this image is so fucking triggering, it's all fucking wrong.
The only good star trek is the new movies with gay Spock and Harold and Kumar go to mr. sulu
>TOS explored important philosophical questions
hang yourself, TOS good episodes are good because they copied stuff from other sci-fi material
majority of episodes are silly stupid adventures with no depth or lasting effect

TOS is cheesy but the characters at least act like real human beings, you're exaggerating.
literally this
>at least act like real human
only if your idea of "real human" comes from the movies and tv show of that era
OP here, I watched a few episodes of TOS and while it's superior to TNG, it feels like the same thing over and again. They always use diplomacy, even though in real life, it would sometimes be impossible to use diplomacy against aliens. Imagine if the crew encountered some unfathomable, hellish space parasite that spreads itself and destroys/transforms all life to its own end. James's first thought would be to use diplomacy against it.
this is a real human bean
ITT: judging a series based on a single episode
I liked the casino episode, the ending was terribly depressing. Imagine being lost in space and some well meaning aliens pick your ass up, try to give you a facsimile of home but all they've got to base it on is a fucking airport novel some asshole brought on the trip.
>it feels like the same thing over and again.
True, there are only about four basic plotlines to TOS. It's great stuff despite that.
>TOSfags perpetrating the meme that TOS was actually good counting on the fact that no one has actually seen it
Each episode aside from one or two felt like an adventure, I watched 4:3 in a dark room squinting my eyes at the same time as the characters whenever there were flashes, became disorientated whenever the characters fell and camera moved around, I felt completely immersed. Aeryn was beautiful, Rygel was amusing, the characters all felt like family. The environments, locations, ships, sounds everything was amazing.
So tell me this, why is Farscape shit?
>there are people posting in /trek/ who haven't even watched TOS
What, is everyone underage or something? Is that what you're trying to imply? Fucking dumbass.
>that reading comprehension
Daily reminder that Enterprise was the very best Star Trek series ever produced.
It was Star Trek done right.
No faggots
No feminism
No PC
Less technobabble
More realism
More character
Interesting aliens
Solid storytelling
Trektards hate it because it isn't gay enough.
In re your picrelated...
"Promises" was one of my favorite episodes.

That's one of the few good episodes from Season 2.
fix it then
"Commander, tell me about your sexual organs."
just started watching tng now
Tasha is a semen demon
Don't get too attached to her.
The first two seasons of TNG are weak. A lot of the scripts were redressed TOS teleplays or unused Phase II drafts, so the characters are literally often not themselves. The Royale, while not one of the absolute worst of the lot, is a pretty weak episode to start in on.
TNG is overrated because it's "the" Star Trek to casual fans. DS9 and ENT are some good underrated trekkino.

That wikipedia article is stupid, Chris Pine can't be Jewish unless if he converts if his grandfather is Jewish. Judaism lineage is maternal
being jewish could be either be ethnicity or religion
ethnicity=ancestry=genes=dna
The Royale is 2001 dressed up as comedykino and you're a massive pleb for not getting it
That's not how Judaism works. You aren't considered a Jew unless if your mother is Jewish. if your father is 100% Jewish but he married your mother who has no Jewish DNA whatsoever, you aren't Jewish unless if you convert.
Chris Pine is like 80% Western European white and 20% Ashkenazi "white." And Ashkenazis are heavily mixed with other European tribes.
He's not Jewish.
>american education
each grandparent of a person is exactly 25% of his ancestry
