The mob is carrying DVD copies of DS9 ... the dogs are strays they found along the way and they're taking care of them ... the torches are there because they drained the batteries on their smartphones downloading 'Wrath Of Khan' for you to watch.
I started watching TNG just recently and am nearly done with season 2. Season 1 is not nearly as bad as the internet led me to believe, and honestly I kinda miss some things from it a little bit.
Well, there’s a bit of everything in the fandom. What sort of series and movies do you like? I’m sure we’ll be stumbling to recommend you specific episodes Abe possibly even a movie or two.
(TBH I don’t care much for the movies, expect for the Kelvin timeline, for which I’m sure I’ll burn at the stake.)
