30% mimimum increase in base salary, extra week vacation, and, if possible, stock options. And make damn sure the Health/Dental/Vision is a step up from what you currently have.

I never stab him if he’s cheating.

So you’re not fully committed, ok.

Ok, so as a starter, I’d recommend that someone going by the above do a kind of seven episode primer on Star Trek and what it’s about. Moral/Ethical philosophy.

TOS - Balance of Terror, is preemptive aggression ever justified?

TNG - Measure of a Man, what makes a person a person?

DS9 - In The Pale Moonlight, do the ends justify the means?

VOY - I’d go with Equinox parts I & II over Year of Hell, but also a “do the ends justify the means.”

ENT - Judgement, is justice arbitrary or universal?

Skip DISCO, plenty of issues to be examined but each one takes a whole season.

Skip LD, there’s a few issues but they’re not as well presented.

SNW - Strange New World

Star Trek Transporters don’t annihilate you. According to all the stuff from Star Trek it literally disassembles you, moves your particles through space in a matter stream held in a containment field, and reassembles you at the new location.

So the Ship of Theseus question doesn’t actually apply, your physical material is the same before and after. The question is if disassembly constitutes dying, and if the reassembled you at the new location is a resurrected you, or if disassembly isn’t dying, then it is in fact just a form of transport.

And let’s not forget the NX-01 herself shows up onscreen in Picard Season 3.

Frakes is, in addition to an iconic Actor, the best Trek Director of the modern age. 11/10.
