Did we though? 79 "amazing" ones? What was amazing or an adventure about "Mudd's Women" or "Charlie X" for example?

I (respectfully) disagree with both of these tbh, man in the best word to use. It's a more grand way to say people. And as the other person said, human isn't accurate either and imo doesn't sound as good.
You mean its a grand way to say human people, which still makes it inaccurate
Drugs...make you feel good!
I guess I don't understand.
Oh Wesley, I hope you never do!

I have never felt attracted to any of the Star Trek men. Not sure what it is about them but they all leave me cold.
I guess Bashir doesn't look bad...but that personality and his terrible taste in...well...everything...no thanks :-/
Sometimes it takes a fanfic writer to bring out the best in characters. There's someone who actually figured out a way to make Chakotay marginally interesting and has spent the last several years writing C/7 stories - a couple of them are novel-length.
As for Bashir, he only really had chemistry with Miles and Garak. He and Miles make a perfect friendship and Garak... well, it was obvious to me that Garak was flirting with Julian.
TermightsEarthicans?
He had great taste in women
On screen, in the fictional show, the character is attractive.
Joking or not (whichever you were doing), Riker never attracted me in the slightest.
Isn't that subjective? Like, Troi, Ro and several aliens-of-the-week considered him attractive, but what about Beverly or any of the sexually ambiguous characters?
Once he got the beard he had no chance. Jean Luc, jack, trill guy, highlander ghost Bev liked a clean shaved man.
But "humankind" sounds somewhat more mature than "peoplekind", does it not? (Or even the diminutive of "mankind" for that matter*) But we're talking about a sci-fi show loaded with fictional aliens, all of which are nothing more than allegories of the human condition played by the actors. No amount of latex put onto the actor's head changes that. So, which franchise will conjure up something that's like "specieskind" in order to cover all sentient life in the qintuplemultiverse but still sound authentic and not something that felt like it came right out of Barney the Dinosaur?
* not unlike creating diminutives such as "merch", "legit", and "tech", where real words are bastardized into fuzzy generalized terms via their first syllables only... or because Twitter posts have a limited length
The word "peoplekind" has political connotations in Canada. The Prime Minister used in in one of his town hall events (these are broadcast on TV) when he didn't like what one of the women said and decided to do some 'splaining. He's been mocked for it ever since.
"Where no man has gone before" is sexist. "Where no one has gone before" is stupid (because they usually find somebody who got there first).
"Where we have not gone before" sums it up nicely; however, it doesn't scan, it's not dramatic enough, and it's possible that one of the crew or guest characters actually has been there (wherever they are) before and neglected to mention that.

"Where humanity hasn't gone before"?
"Where no human has set foot yet?"
I will be honest I still say mankind a lot. But in my defense the "man" in mankind original meant "human" (gender neutral) back when the words for male and female human were wereman and wifman, and it's still used like that on occasion in English.

"Commander Riker's easy-going manner and sense of humor is fascinating to me. I believe it to be one reason he is so popular among the crew. It may also be partly responsible for his success in matters of love. There may be a correlation between humor and sex. The need for more research is clearly indicated." - Data
Riker has a sense of humor?
