I got about twelve episodes into Voyager and I had to stop because the contrast with DS9 in that respect was way too much for me (I was watching concurrently 1990s style).

Aren't those kinds of decisions made in the writers' room, though?

I use Boost and the topic keyword blocker works really well. I've got a lot of political words blacklisted and it's made browsing All much more pleasant.

My 10-year-old loves Minecraft and Terraria. Do you play any video games? Which ones do you like?

The Princess Bride!

Any other answer is... inconceivable

The lack of continuity and consequences really started to bother me in TNG (especially after I started watching DS9 with its actual story arcs). Like with "Genesis" -- the entire crew turns into animals and/or cavemen, it's heavily implied that Worf literally mauls another crewman to death, and the entire thing wraps up with "Huh, that was weird. Oh well, let's go get drinks at Ten Forward." Don't get me wrong, I'll take any episode that features my boy Reg Barclay, but the happy-go-lucky episodic model seemed particularly egregious in this case.

The Chrysalids https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Chrysalids

~~The Giver https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Giver~~ I missed that one in your list, whoops!

I read both of these in school around that age; they may be good options for you.
