Wait, it's all socialism?

Always has been.

Don't get me started on Star Trek

[–] Opisek@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago (6 children)

Ok, I've never watched Star Trek and feel left out. Where do I start?

[–] Im_old@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

deep breath So I'm not the most star trek nerd by any measure, but I grew up watching the next generation (TNG), but also some of the original star trek series. And then deep space 9 (DS9) and enterprise. Also the one with the one which is not the enterprise and they got lost (forgot the name). But I've lost interest with the recent series. So not a uber nerd but I've watched quite a bit.

I think starting with the MOVIES of the first series is good. But also starting with the series of TNG is ok.

Voyager.

As others have said, DS9, Lower Decks, TNG, Voyager, are all great choices. Strange New Worlds isn't bad either.

Now some potential dealbreakers: Lower Decks is a cartoon and heavily references other shows (but does explain most of those references), TNG is very libbed up and side-steps a lot of the moral questions Startrek is known for, Voy solves those questions with warcrimes, SNW tries to be too inoffensive and is very much directed at fans. I can't think of anything bad to say about DS9.

Is there any order to watch Star Trek in or can I just pick any and roll with it. Will I be missing any important information?

[–] alcoholicorn@lemmy.ml 1 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Nah, no order.

When the shows bring in stuff from older shows, they explain it in episode, or you'll figure out the gist of it from the framing, the writers themselves often hadn't watched every single episode of the older shows.

I think SNW and LD are the only ones where the writers actually bothered to watch everything.

I literally started due to lemmy posts. I just went in order and watched TOS and TNG. Now I'm going through DS9. I'm really glad I did, because it's amazing!

[–] dragonfucker@lemmy.nz 2 points 10 months ago

Lower decks! Lower decks!

[–] Maeve@midwest.social 1 points 9 months ago

Start with the original and tng. The beginning.

It's okay it's Spock-tember.
