Paris isn't even subtly or subjectively boomer. He's clearly intentionally written to be a guy in the 1950s. They could have written him with one boomer trait to be cute, but they had to have him be obsessed with classic cars, b&w (and sexist) scifi, man caves, being a playboy, etc. Every episode that centers around Paris ends up being the worst in the series.

Torres can do so much better.

I felt this hard. She was one of the best characters of the series, and her falling for Paris sucked. It's also just not believably written in the show. Just one day they were secretly in love?

I've always hated how Star Trek does relationships between the regulars. The Worf and Troi, Worf and Dax relationships sucked.

don't believe this shit about being such a hot shot pilot.

Has real Top Gun vibes

you're right he is too old to be a boomer himself. But like he is there for the boomers. To represent an old kind of masculinity and nostalgia.

Well actually there was the ep where the invisible aliens were doing experiments on everyone. At the end the 2 of them are discussing how their whole thing could have been mind control from those aliens. Then they kiss and its the end of the ep.
