TNG is what introduced me to Trek and there is so much I adore about the series, especially its tone, aesthetics and Captain Picard, but as I get older I find it a bit obnoxious and overbearing with how moralfaggy it can be, and find myself preferring the more chill, relaxed and "human" style of TOS, where things aren't taken quite as seriously. Kirk is such a fucking chad not because he fights aliens all the time but because he is so effortlessly charismatic and likeable and can get ANYONE on his side by his sheer aura. He also seems more upset by the deaths of his subordinates unlike Picard who doesn't give a shit (he cares more about soulless robot toasters).
