Spent 20 minutes trying to find a thread that fit what I wanted but everyone seems to be willing to watch all of Star Trek. I tried TOS and while it’s not bad I don’t want to watch every single episode of Star Trek to get into the show…
What’s the best order to watch the most universally enjoyed Star Trek series’ and movies? I really enjoyed Lower Decks as a fan of Final Space and Strange New World’s looks incredible. I want to start with the earlier series but not have to watch all of it!
I’d also point out that TOS, TNG, Lower Decks, and SNW are primarily “monster of the week” format while DS9, VOY, Discovery (and maybe ENT? Can’t remember it) have some monster of the week episodes but are more serialized stories with long story arcs. I like them all but some people prefer one style over the other.
Something else to check out might be The Orville. Its not tied to Trek at all but it’s about as close as you can get to a modern TNG.
Absolutely agree with you both! Didn’t know what to expect from the Orville but I was so pleasantly surprised. A little TNG with some Lower Decks like humor sprinkled about. I’m biased though, love some MacFarlane .
