What everybody could agree on (if leftists could be reasoned with) is when you start playing ST:TNG on netflix it says:
This show has a recommended view order:
The real problem here isn't just this episode, it's that you tell somebody to check out ST:TNG and they watch in order they're going to think it's a piece of crap show. Who's going to watch like 50 hours to find out there's good episodes in there?
What Frakes/Riker actually wants is to not to be embarrassed when new people try to watch the show, and this episode is only singled out because it's so bad he can justify to himself removing it. Guarantee if he had the choice of using his play order or banning this episode he'd choose the former.
I don't care.
The slippery slope always starts small.
We gave the gays marriage with Obergefell, and nine years later, they leveraged that into sex with our children.
So when people ask you about ST:TNG who haven't seen it, do you say to skip the first season? Or warn them that it's terrible?
Because that's the same thing.
I take a third option. I recommend RedLetterMedia's video on the first season.
In the first minute Rich says the problem is people start at the beginning and it's terrible. Sounds like we're all in agreement on what the problem is.
It seems like you think people should get a synopsis instead of the slippery slope of just skipping them.
