I wish I could get my daughter into Star Trek. She's not interested in any of it. She doesn't even like science fiction that much. I don't get it. She came from two devoted Trekkies. We have a standup Mr. Spock in the hallway on the wall. We have a delta on the living room wall. We have a Spock tree topper and an Amok Time ornament. And I can't get her to watch a single episode of any of it. We tried Encounter at Farpoint a couple of years ago and she didn't even make it through the first half.
How old is she? Because Encounter at Farpoint isn't exactly an episode that would hook the average kid.
That's not the only thing we showed her, that was just an example.
How did Lower Decks go over?
She really doesn't like sci-fi. I've stopped trying.
While it is easily the best show of any genre to be produced in a long time, I'm not sure how anyone that doesn't know trek can get full enjoyment out of it, let alone 2/3 of the jokes.
