I’ve never been a big Trek fan, preferring to align with Star Wars in the false choice between them.

However this past weekend, I bought a Raspberry Pi box, and an 8tb hard drive, and the first thing I pirated was the entire first season of TNG.

I propose we call this “doing a Lemmy”

Ummm just a fair warning, the first season of TNG was pretty badly written. It gets better with the later seasons.

I am quite enjoying it so far, to be honest. The completist in me would slog through the first season even if I didn’t enjoy it though.

Keep in mind, though I’ve been immersed in sci-fi all my life and I’ve definitely seen Star Trek shows before (and all the pre-Abrams movies), but my expectations to this show are largely set by pop culture.

Relative to those expectations, I was really surprised not far into the first episode by how thought-provoking it is. The character of Q was about t as far from (my expectation of) a Star Trek ‘villain’ as I could have imagined.

I love season 1, personally. It does get objectively better, but s1 and 2 have some fun episodes.

I hope you enjoy it! Maybe by the time you finish TNG, you’ll have switched “sides”!

Idk if anyone has told you but the first season is by far the worst. I often recommend that people skip it honestly. So if you watched it and we’re still into it just get ready because it gets so much better

One has a medical degree, the other a Ph.D. Both are called doctor.

What was the reason newer series switched to white uniforms for medical?

It’s a welcome change but also SNW is before TOS?

I guess it existed in the DIS era, starts to get phased out by the SNW era (we see Nurse Chapel wearing white but not Dr. M’Benga), and then is phased fully out by the time TOS rolls around.

At least until the LD uniforms come, and they partially reintroduce it in the form of white boots.

M’Benga still wears blue. Chapel wears white, but she’s also a civilian contractor in SNW and hasn’t joined Starfleet yet, so how her uniform color interacts with everyone else is unclear.
