Star trek
Most of the series have a different quality to them.
Start with TOS and if you don't like it move up chronologically.
S01E01
Enterprise is the first chronologically
Watch The Original Series and the six films made with the original cast.
Then you can stop, everything else is utter trash shitting on the Star Trek name.
with some that sweet sweet Romulon pussy if you catch my meaning
TNG season 3
The Cage
if you want a more or less modern TV experience start with TNG. TOS is good but it's a VERY 60s show. 1 hour episodes of people sneaking around Plexiglas rocks looking for some "alien" (poodle with a wig)
These films really are the absolute peak of Trek.
Beginning.
TOS baby. Start from the beginning and watch it all. Do NOT start with fucking TNG whatever you do
It's because they basically told Roddenberry to shut up, and actually made something good and not spergy.
>. 1 hour episodes of people sneaking around Plexiglas rocks looking for some "alien" (poodle with a wig)
Sounds kino
I watched the first episode of the original series for the first time yesterday and it was great, you should do the same.
I definitely appreciate it but it's not for everyone.
You can skip the pilot tbf. It's split into a two-parter later on anyway.
TNG is a complete waste of time. There's only a handful of episodes with interesting premises and they usually do nothing with it.
Star Trek: The Next Generation, its movies, and then start from Star Trek TOS onward.
Watching shows chronologically is unironiclly the most low iq think I have ever heard. There are things you are not supposed to know, prequels are prequels, you don’t watch them first, you ruin the drama.
Please do not have kids and I am not joking, your option is completely brain dead, it actully hurts for me to try to think down to your lvl and understand it, it is one of the stupidest things anyone could say and it isn’t even hard to understand why, consider buying bull rubber and castraters on Amazon and castrate yourself, please. You don’t know how dumb you are
Are you trying to make him hate Star Trek? Terrible advice.
Watch everything, OP. Start with TNG if you must, it's the most normie accessible.
Start with DS9
Then watch TNG or Voyager
If you watched TNG and liked it you can watch TOS
If you watched Voyager you wont have liked it as much and will be glad to have something else to watch so go watch TNG
Watch in this order:
>Star Trek: Into Darkness
>Star Trek: The Motion Picture
>TNG season 1-2
>STD
>Enterprise
>Voyager season 1-3
>Animated Series
>Nemisis
You absolute fucking monster.
It's missing some late DS9 seasons.
Just watch TOS or TNG
I don't know why Star Trek has this reputation as impenetrable nerd shit, it's just a TV show with a handful of technobabble every now and then
TOS Season 2 and 3 are rough. A lot of mediocre and awful episodes. I'd say make a Top 10 episodes and that's it.
The TOS cartoon is great, but not required viewing. Watch Yesteryar episode at least.
Watch all 6 TOS movies
TNG Season 1 is horrible, Season 2 is mediocre with 2 or 3 good episodes.
DS9 and Voyager are consistently good.
Ditch Enterprise.
Watch all 4 TNG movies.
Watch all 3 Kelvin (the new ones) movies.
Ditch STD.
fuck you pike is best captain
This is actually really good advice.
Start with TOS if you want the authentic experience. Start with TNG if you want the modern TV experience (keep in mind first two seasons are mostly garbage).
Watch only the good episodes from TOS, then watch the movies.
Watch only the important and least bad episodes from TNG Season 1 and 2 then continuously watch every episode from S3 on (maybe skip the one or two awful romance episodes from each season).
TOS - STC - TNG - DS9 - VOY - ENT
STD is if you want to become an SJW cum brain
>Start with DS9
>Then watch TNG
This is shit advice because DS9 follows on from TNG in a really epic way. You're a faggot for trying to ruin this for him.
this. TNG is overrated garbage
I do agree that it tends more towards this near the end of the series, but for a more serialized series it has great concepts and it had pretty good writing for most of it. Interesting premises aren't everything, VOY was the opposite, with high concepts but bad writing and characters.
I've been working through everything by release, I'm currently nearing the end of Voyager so I guess that puts me about 3/4 of the way through everything. It's a massive undertaking but I think it's worth it. TOS is hard work in 2019 but it is still very good in places and it also opens up the movies which are a lot more accessible. If you start TOS and struggle with it just skip it and give the movies a try. Failing all else start at TNG. If you don't like TNG then Star Trek just isn't for you.
