Bosomy bonus:

This bonus is actually a meme that was previously removed from Risa for not “seeking jamaharon.” I decided to dig it up and refurbish it a bit after AdmiralPatrick recovered one of his older memes.

    You never watched Voyager? Oh you’re missing out. The first season is a little rough but by the third season they grow their beard. Some of my favorite trek episodes are in Voyager so I have to advocate for it.

      It’s the crew. They don’t pop on screen. Except for that holographic doctor. He’s pretty great. The blond guy and the Klingon girl have annoying cardboard cutouts for personalities. Harry & the second are just bland.

      TOS, DS9, TNG, Picard, Discovery were all good right away. My favorite viewing site went dark so I haven’t gotten around to SNW. Or the end of Picard.

        Lol I like your attitude but I have to laugh at you saying TNG was good from the start. The phrase “growing your beard” meaning “to get better in quality after a few season” originated with TNG because the first few seasons of TNG are widely panned for being not good.

        Don’t get me wrong I love every trek but there is a reason that phrase exists. Most trek takes a few seasons to hit its stride.

          Hey, Q happened right away.

          But yes, the set looked lol, but it always had. There was only TOS to compare it to. Stewart was awesome from day one. Deanna just looked cold in the mini skirt.

      by the third season

      Is it necessary to watch the first two seasons for context, or do they do a good job of dropping enough hints to catch up quickly?

      When it was on the air I dropped it partway through the second season and never picked it back up. It has been long enough that I only remember a few main characters and that they were far from home.

        Maybe watch a recap video? I think you’d be ok.

        I personally wouldn’t skip the pilot, Emanations, or Learning Curve in season 1. Those are good. In season 2 I wouldn’t skip Projections, Twisted, Threshold, Deadlock, Tuvix, and Basics part 1.

        Maybe others could also recommend to you their favorites. I just picked out the ones that I never skip in my giant playlist of episodes.

        I would re-watch the very first episode for sure, where we first are introduced to Q and the Borg. The final episode of TNG revisits The Trial (of humanity) began in that first episode.
