Okay, related note, I'm going to be hanging out with my 13 year old nephew this weekend. He has never seen any Star Trek. What episode for any series would you suggest to start him out on?
Trying to think of something that will grab his attention and pull him in. All my favorite episodes are ones like Measure of a Man, but I think something with some action would get his attention better.
Fist Full of Data's, then an early Q episode to transition from silly to serious
Yesterday's enterprise was the one that got me into TNG as a wee lad. It has action, character, and raises deeper questions with a good scifi premise.
Honestly maybe an ENT episode. They are modern enough not to look “old” to a kid and then you can transition to other stuff when he’s on board.
Maybe episode 7, “The Andorian Incident”. It’s got Jeffery Combs and a decent amount of action.
Just pre-screen ENT episodes to make sure there isn’t too much decon room screen time.
Are thirteen year old boys not the target audience for the decon room scenes?
Sure but no teen likes sitting through a racy scene while watching with adults.
Just pick one of the original series
