with the original series?
Hell no.
Why not? That is the origins
So? I would also not like the origins of apples or generally almost any vegetable or fruit we have today. They have been refined for 1000s of years to get to where we are today. TOS is just not watchable, not even as a fan, so extremely unlikely for a random person. Maybe it was good at its time, but certainly not compared to what we have had since then.
It really is the only one that is really watchable. It is so much better than anything newer.
It’s one of the most rewatchable, too. Good luck rewatching Picard Season 1
No, too campy.
If your friend is asking that in 2024 the answer is “Strange New Worlds”.
I started off recently with tng
I love me some TNG, but I’m imaging sitting down today, having never seen Star Trek, and for the first time in 2024 and watching “Encounter at Farpoint”. I don’t think that would go over well.
