The one where Kirk dies. I don't think I need to explain further.

Oh my
Which Kirk and which show/movie where he dies? He's died at least 4 times in 3 different universes.

Some of the spinning camera shots of early DIS seasons made me legitimately nauseous but I was also not entirely sober so like fair
“Excessive lens flare”
Star Wars: The Force Awakens:
I dislile TNG because Q. I will be arguing with dissenters in the comments
Tangent, but I had a generally positive opinion of John de Lancie based on his work in Trek and Days of Our Lives (I am so old) and various interviews I'd seen over the years until I saw Jenny Nicholson's video about the last Bronycon. De Lancie had some involvement in a film about the Brony phenomenon and she was in a green room with him a few times. Apparently he was pretty rude and showed contempt for his fans. 🙁
Disclaimer: Not a Brony myself but Jenny Nicholson can make anything interesting.
De Lancie invited the local bronies in my area to attend an opera he was narrating. I attended and he came and hung out with the bronies afterwards, saying he wanted to thank us for sharing our thing with him by sharing his thing with us. He stayed late after, signing autographs and chatting with people, for so long that I think he may actually have missed his flight. He was a super sweetheart. Maybe he needs to vent about the nasty fans behind closed doors sometimes, but I can't begrudge anyone that. I recognize that it's only one data point, but he made the effort to do something nice for us on his own initiative, was incredibly generous with his time, and was kind to me, personally. I will always appreciate that.
EDIT: Also, it was a free event so it's not like he was trying to sell tickets or anything, and there were less than a dozen of us so I doubt it was a self-serving PR move.
Glad you had a good experience. I guess people are never as simple as the boxes we try to cram them into, and fandoms can be both a blessing and a curse.
Most Q episodes are hit or miss and almost all of TNG season 1 is bad but I still think episode 1 with Q putting Picard on trial is a perfect introduction to TNG.

I dislike everything that isn't Voyager because not enough Neelix. Also, I'm going to look over the comic sans because of the far greater sin of using Papyrus.
Is Phlox perhaps Neelix enough?
I dislike LD because it’s too hyper.
It does get less hyper as it goes on, but only to a point.
Ive only seen DS9, and I loved it, which one should I watch next?
In seriousness, I would suggest TNG for a comparable experience. Plus it also has Worf.
Just start at season 3, or be ready to go thru the rough years first.

I: Am just not interested in
Star Trek:
- Discovery
- SNW
Unspecified (specify): They're prequels.
I already imagined the backstories for the shows I've seen... are you not supposed to? A prequel isn't going to ever line up to how I imagined the backstory (how could it, everyone has a different imagination) so there's always going to be dissonance with a prequel. Not that I hate these shows, just not interested in them.
Make Star Trek Legacy and move the story forward pls, thx.
Sorry, I've already imagined the backstory of Discovery Season 3-5. Those centuries are now off-limits.

In my mind Strange New Worlds is in a parallel universe. Not the mirror universe, or the Kelvin universe, but another another universe.
But I want to go back to DS9 darn it. I want to know how that all ends.
SNW is so good I'd sooner toss TOS if forced to choose (which I'm not). The musical episode is vastly better than Turnabout: Intruder.
Don’t you also imagine future developments of the stories you enjoy? I’m already imagining what Starfleet Academy is going to give us, doesn’t matter if it’s a prequel or not. I just have to set my imagined version aside when the actual show airs.
