I grew up seeing Kirk as a god … saw Picard as a fatherly figure … Janeway as my severe aunt … Sisko as that uncle I was supposed to see but never had a chance to … it’s weird because they all feel like some sort of long lost family I grew up with but never really got to know that well.
I just saw my third episode of Discovery and finally got introduced to Stamets … and I absolutely hate the guy … but I’m growing to love him.
