  I keep seeing this guy pop up in memes.

  I’ve never seen Star Trek, but like… he makes me want to give it a go

    If you do, start with TNG

      Hell, skip the first two seasons. If someone offered me $1M and I could never watch the first two seasons of TNG ever again, I’d take it without hesitation.

      No, not even Measure of a Man. It’s legally and philosophically nonsense.

        Really? You’re entitled to your opinion, of course, but imo Measure of a Man is an incredible acting showcase and a strong premise to display Federation values. Every time I’ve wanted to get someone into TNG, it’s one of my first recommendations and it usually works. What are your complaints about it?

      Is there a recommended viewing guide somewhere?

    FWIW, I think the memes do the character too much credit. Not that he’s badly written; far from it. Rather, he’s a shit warrior who pretends his political ambitions are honorable. Without going into spoilers, there’s a little dialog scene late in DS9 that lays out how the Klingon Empire is not living up to its own values, people like Gowron are the reason, and Gowron himself needs to be gutted yesterday.

      My biggest complaint with how the Gowron character was written was his final battle with Worf. He fought honorably with a Bat’leth. From everything we’ve seen about Gowron earlier in his presentation, he should have fought dirty, and with knives.
