Alright, your propaganda here over the past months has worked. I want to get into Star Trek. Where do I start? Can I take an abbreviated tour? Or do I need to go to TOS?

    I recommend starting with Next Generation, or the original series.

    After that, it’s a jumping point to any of the other series you want to try, and any of the movies. NextGen season one is a bit clunky, but it gets much better from season two onward.

    Be forewarned that:

    • Even numbered Star Trek movies are much better than odds.
    • Not everyone likes Star Trek Discovery as its tone is completely different than most of the other shows.
    • Season two of Picard is a stinker. Skip it.
    • Original series has some cheesy episodes, but you can learn to love them in the same way that people love old Doctor who episodes.
