I poked around a while and couldn't find anything, I see memes from y'all all the time and the progressive nature of Star Trek has got me. I wanna watch it.

Where do I begin?

Not blasphemy at all.

ToS isn't good. It was decent for the time, but it's not good.
TAS, see above but for kids. Think the Scooby-doo show from the 60's.
I liked Enterprise when I watched it on tv, but not a lot of people liked it.

Other than SNW the new Trek shows aren't really "core trek" either. They each have their own style which appeals to different people.
I wanted to like Discovery, but it seems to want to be a CW show about 3/4 of the time. We made it through the first two seasons and stopped.
Picard: I also wanted to like it. He's my husband's favourite captain after all. I burst out laughing when Dahj is jumping around like a superhero in the first episode That's as far as I got.
Lower Decks: Not a fan of the adult-comedy-cartoon genre.
Prodigy: I am not in the right age demographic.

So I don't want to "well ackchually" you but I was curious about your claim about TOS so I looked it up and you were wrong, it's actually really good.

Kirk flirted with a little girl. Because that was normal in the 60s.

Some are wrong. TOS is a very good show. It’s a genre you have to enjoy though. Not liking something is completely different than it being bad.
