I poked around a while and couldn’t find anything, I see memes from y’all all the time and the progressive nature of Star Trek has got me. I wanna watch it.

Where do I begin?

    Blasphemy warning…

    I’d probably start with Strange New Worlds. Then go back for TNG, DS9, and Voyager.

      Not blasphemy at all.

      ToS isn’t good. It was decent for the time, but it’s not good.
      TAS, see above but for kids. Think the Scooby-doo show from the 60’s.
      I liked Enterprise when I watched it on tv, but not a lot of people liked it.

      Other than SNW the new Trek shows aren’t really “core trek” either. They each have their own style which appeals to different people.
      I wanted to like Discovery, but it seems to want to be a CW show about 3/4 of the time. We made it through the first two seasons and stopped.
      Picard: I also wanted to like it. He’s my husband’s favourite captain after all. I burst out laughing when Dahj is jumping around like a superhero in the first episode That’s as far as I got.
      Lower Decks: Not a fan of the adult-comedy-cartoon genre.
      Prodigy: I am not in the right age demographic.

        The Orville feels like a very good update of TNG at times. They deal with a lot of cultural drama with analogs to our current society. And upping the humor a bit helps.

          Yeah but then Kelly gets kidnapped by the superstitious aliens who believe in starsigns, and Seth’s immediate reaction is to fly down to the planet and call them stupid for believing in religion. Because that’s totally how you solve diplomatic problems while displaying respect for diverse cultures.
