I was born in 1989, so I grew up with the TNG era and ENT, and I always dismissed TOS as a kid as the cheesy 60s original version that TNG remade and left in the dust. It wasn't until high school that I actually sat down and watched TOS and fell in love with it. I even now wonder if Kirk is better than Picard, it's a debate I have with myself often. Was wondering if anyone else had a similar experience with TOS?

I still think TNG is better, but TOS is great in its own right.

I was the same way. I happened to turn on Pluto a while back, and TNG was on. I remembered seeing it as a kid and not being a fan, but I found myself watching every episode that came on.

I got so wrapped up in it that I got Paramount+ just to watch every season, then start on all the others I’ve missed.

IMHO, Picard is a better captain than Kirk (I expect downvotes for this).

Yeah I agree Picard is overall still a better captain, but some qualities of Kirk I like more, like how he is more willing to interfere to overthrow the local false god or dictator.

I’ll have to go with Picard on that one too it is called the PRIME directive for a reason.

Picard is def the better one overall, but one day Ill do a ranking on qualities and say which one is better at which
