The people who made it, the people who shot the episode, and I suppose anyone who attended a Star Trek exhibition without ever watching Star Trek.

Anyway - we started watching TOS. Its problematic, hilarious, and awesome to watch it with a modern kid. He agrees that Kirks' philosophy is to either punch or kiss the alien (sometimes both), and Scottie's is to drink them under the table.

4 TOS episodes left, and we're on to the animated series (which I've never watched). Then it's just a question of how long to wait for KAHHHHHHHHNNNN and the full re-view of TNG.

Oh and Star Trek Prodigy is perfect for ages 7-10.

I love this.
