To be fair, the list was made for the 57th anniversary of Trek three years ago.

Data’s Day is the episode I usually recommend people use to introduce TNG to newbies since Data literally goes around and introduces the crew. I’m shocked it wasn’t on Variety’s list!

Great example! I had forgotten that one. I guess that’s a sign it’s time for a Voyager rewatch.

EDIT:

Wow this looks incredible

You didn’t say Discovery villains didn’t “have nuance and development”. So no, I didn’t say that either.

• Nihilistic, apocalyptic future

Do you have any examples of the Nihilism? I’m struggling to think of any… In fact Season 3 was about maintaining optimism and faith in the strength of the Federation against unbelievable odds.

• Bad guys that are just bad, they’re evil, don’t ask questions

Khan, Gul Dukat and the Clown from Voyager were all in Discovery?

• One principal star of the show that is the focus of nearly every episode

I agree that there was a main character, but I also enjoy a lot of media with a main character so I don’t see that as a bad thing.

• No attempt to explain things with any veneer of science

I suggest you avoid watching TNG and TOS because they do the same thing!
