@researchfairy me, trying to get people into Star Trek:
Okay, so first of all, the first few seasons are always terrible. Please ignore all the rampant chauvinism on display, I promise this character gets his shit together later, except for season seven. You might want to skip the racism episode, and the other racism episode. This one sucks, I'm sure they meant well but it just reeks of TERFs. Oh yeah, heads up, this guy is gonna have a pretty disquieting eugenicist episode later this season. Ok yeah there's genocide man, he likes doing genocide. Here's the "war crimes are bad" episode, please don't think too hard about how it ties into all the "war crimes are fun" episodes. But you can look forward to Terrorist Man, we love him, he's got some pretty good points. Just try not to cringe at the other "wow disabled people sure suck" episode. Blink-and-you-miss-it gays. If you wonder why this sucks, it's Rick Berman. Yup, that too. And that. Also yes, that's a lot of antisemitism in one character. We know.
But other than that, it's pretty great!
@researchfairy anyone who correctly guesses all the episodes will be rewarded with a picture of a cookie*
* while supplies last
@researchfairy "Rick Berman sucks" is like the free space at the centre of a bingo.
You don't have to guess the episode, it's all of them.
