Yeah for all the equality and tech it’s stupid to have women running around in skirts.
Star Trek always portrayed an ideal future but always failed in one way or another. Tng is also the one Star Trek i couldn’t get into, tried for a season and it was bad. I hear it gets better but I can’t watch a show that takes years to get good
I thought it was widely accepted that season 1 and 2 were not very good.
And the skirt among other things in the show arw definitely dated and at times sexist.
Im not sure what you guys are defending? lol
I love Star Trek but I don’t pretend some of the crap they have pumped out in the past is gold
They were transitioning from 80s to 90s TV. This isn’t like the millionth boring anime series that fans say “gets good after episode 150”, it was literally the 2nd try at Trek ever. No one’s saying season 1 or 2 is gold (although there are good eps in there), but the first season is like TOS with growing pains. There’s a reason it got 7 seasons, and if it’d been a total failure none of the other shows would exist.
If you like Voyager, DS9, and Enterprise there’s no way you wouldn’t like TNG. Giving up on the entire run because the first couple seasons weren’t great after an almost 20 year hiatus from TOS is why your position seems a bit strange.
Continuing to watch a show that isnt good in the hope it gets better in a few seasons, now Thats strange. It’s also why I won’t watch game of thrones, I know the ending sucks now so what’s the point.
And you’re right, im a TOS fan. I don’t like ds9 and voyager. I like TOS, SNW and similar
It’s a serialized 90s show, you don’t have to watch the early seasons to understand the later ones. Pick any episode and just watch, as long as it isn’t a 2-parter, you’ll likely get the gist of what’s going on. There are some longer story arcs that do span multiple episodes or even seasons, but the information is more at the “Lore” level than “necessary to understand what’s going on in this episode”.
Eg, if you knew the back story, you’d have had a better chance at catching the pun in the last sentence. But all you’re missing out on is maybe exhaling a bit quicker as you read it and an eye roll.
Hell, if you don’t want to watch all the episodes, you might be one of the rare people who might even enjoy the clip episodes and how much they tried to set up an in-universe reason to be showing clips from previous episodes. Like Riker’s memory parasite.
I believe that second one is actually from the episode where O’Brian accidentally gets all the normal sized shirts stuck in the transporter buffer so everyone breaks out their night shirts until Data suggests reversing the polarity and running them through the deflector array, after which they just had to send some folk from the lower decks outside to grab and iron them.
That episode also had the subplot where Data’s memory banks get slightly corrupted and mix up the Star Fleet Protocol Reference with the Karma Sutra and The Art of War for some humourously awkward moments with Picard, LaForge, and poor Wesley Crusher.

This has to be bait.
Otherwise congrats on being the 1st person ever I’ve seen online to prefer Voyager, TOS, Picard, and Disco to TNG.
I can believe it if they stopped early enough. Season 1 is pretty rough.
this user is a notorious troll. so yes. it’s probably bait.

I mean, Voyager is also my favorite Trek, but I would place both STD and Picard at the bottom of the list. But I only watched TOS in stretches.
They had male crew in those skirts too though, to be fair.
I think just one shot, a guy in the hallway walking in the background.
This guy?
Yeah, he was just a freak, the rest of the time they wear it with pants

literally a tunic, usually has a belt
I wish I could get one of those outfits too.
“Senior Officers get pants?!”
Someone had a crossed wire when they heard “dress uniform.”
Wasn’t it that episode where the air conditioning was broken?
Then start at season 2.
Men wore that outfit it was unisex I’m to lazy to link a image ore a dozen right now but tng was pretty inclusive vs the og series
which season? try 5. EDiT : at least the darmok episode?
