MODERATORS
EXACTLY. I sometimes have trouble rewatching TOS, early TNG or even Voyager today because of how cringe and uneasing some remarks or episodes feel today, even reminding myself that they were trying to educate people into not to misbehave sometimes, but still… and yet I highly respect all of them.
I usually skip s1&2 of tng when I re-watch except a few key episodes.
Some things just don't click with me, or are just too on-the-nose to take seriously.
TOS is particularly bad when it comes to themes that boil down to "don't be racist and sexist", but they're all a product of the times. And CLEARLY we still have those issues today, but it's preaching to the choir vibes when I watch them.
I don't have to like any of the shows, but I do feel I still need to support them, otherwise we might not get more because the corps that own the IP don't hear enough praise.
