Got the bug to rewatch the TNG movies after rewatching the show. They really pushed the IP out of its comfort zone with those movies it feels like. Like sure there was mass death and body horror in the show itself but the movies made it feel much more real and visceral not just shaking the camera and having everyone stumble about in a cardboard set.

Little sidebar for the show too. For a show thats 35 years old its surprising how well some of the social development episodes hold up. Like for example “The Outcast” the one about a androgynous species where some start to have a preference the speech Soran gives at her inquisition is powerful and perfectly topical to today. On the other hand “Journeys End” the one with Native Americans is reeeealllly rough to watch nowadays
