Not my OC
Arguably starting with TNG’s Encounter at Farpoint is a good place
no, the correct answer is star trek online, klingon empire gorn science captain.
I have never watched a single star trek thing and the only knowledge I have about it comes from you guy’s memes
It’s very obviously TNG. But after season 2.
Even though I think DS9 is objectively better than TNG, I would still recommend TNG to get into it, as the more exploration focus should appeal to a wider audience.
Also you can appreciate DS9 better as a contrast to TNG
Nah, start from the beginning. When I introduced my partner to star trek, she loved the first TNG seasons, despite recognizing that the latter are better
The first episode also introduces every character.
It would be a miss for new watchers to skip it, even if some of you don’t like the episode.
The dish separation was what made me understand there was a lot more to Star Trek then I first thought and made me continue watching, even if it didn’t happen again.
The only way it’s going to make sense is if you watch it in chronological order. So you have to start with Enterprise.
That sounds like a long road
getting from there to here.
What?
You just start at the beginning of one of the series.
If you like new stuff: Strange New Worlds
If you like animation: Lower Decks
If you enjoy older series: The Next Generation (+Deep Space9 + Voyager)
If you enjoy really old series: The Original Series
Yeah, I started with TNG a year or two ago. I’m now halfway through season 4 of Voyager, just from watching an episode every few days whenever I have time. Eventually I’ll move on to DS9, before digging into the movies (which I have simultaneously heard are incredible and hot garbage, depending on the individual user’s preferences) and the newer stuff.
What?
You just start at Star Trek The Animated Series
If you like new stuff: Star Trek The Animated Series
If you like animation: Star Trek The Animated Series
If you enjoy older series: Star Trek The Animated Series
If you enjoy really old series: Star Trek The Animated Series
This is incorrect.
If you are new at this point “Lower decks” is the right place to start.
After that you can go to any series, even if TNG is the right next step. You can pick anything.
Lower decks has soooo many references to the other series I feel like it would be a very confusing place to start.
The Star Trek universe is based on the premise that a peaceful, united mankind is acting as a benevolent, civilized partner and friend of all alien species.
But let’s be honest, we all know we would behave like the aliens from Independence Day - mercilessly conquering and harvesting alien worlds and spreading destruction across the universe.
If you’re going to do a “courtroom” TNG episode, no way it’s Devils Due… The Drumhead all day long.
The most wrong is Star Trek: Straight New Worlds.
