Ah. Mr. de Lancie. A true gem of acting.
Shame Star Trek died with 9/11.

So it seems. I've only seen TNG and its movies, and Voyager. Really enjoyed what I saw.
I watched the first 3 eps of Picard but it wasn't very good so I stopped.
Leo Lewis
No DS9? DS9 is a diamond in the rough! Sure, hard to swallow at first. But dear godly Griffith! Did it get awesome by the end.
And Shatner era is best era because Shatner is bestner.
Shatner movies.... first three anyway... oddly good in a lot of ways.

I think I would really enjoy DS9, but I binged Voyager a few months ago, so I'm gonna wait a few years to get back into another ~150 episode long Star Trek show.
I watched the first ep of TOS, and put it off. I may watch it eventually if I feel the need for more Trek after DS9.
Gabriel Hall
Yeah. Break is probably a good idea.
And TOS is a product of it's time. So you have to be kind to it.
Strange as it may seem, Enterprise was starting to get good before they shitcanned it.
Also fun to note the timing of a WMD based storyline in a just a hair post 9/11 world.
It didn't have the best timing.... Poor Mr Bakula. He quantum leaped into the wrong show at the wrong time it seems.

>And TOS is a product of it's time. So you have to be kind to it.
Exactly. I'm sure I'd get into it once I started, but I think TNG was a more enjoyable first entry.
Enterprise looks promising from the 1-2 clips I've seen.. It takes place before TOS, right?
As for Discovery, I've seen some clips and it looks awful. Probably still better than Picard, though.
Nathaniel Miller
Enterprise is early earth exploration set sometime after First Contact and before TOS. Warp 5 is all they's got. So while I can't remember dates or shit. I'll just say exactly in the middle based on nothing more than the number of Warp Factor.
TNG was also probably the best place to start with Voyager being a fun second.
Fun fact! DS9 ran at the same time as Voyager. and I think there were some similarities in story lines early on. But can't recall entirely if that's right or not.
>Discovery
Forgot about that one. I just noped out of that without even giving it a chance. just like Picard.
Roddenberry is long dead. that was my critique of why Voyager and DS9 aren't as good as TNG and why the TNG movies (post Roddenberry's death all of 'em) were also kinda off and fanscripty. Because they kinda were.
So anything new in Trek is going to be missing the mark
Just glad that his lingering influence was still around for Voyager and DS9.
If you're on a scifi kick, and don't want more Trek, I'll recommend Farscape and/or Stargate.
Both great in their own way.

I heard that DS9 got the priority, I think. Makes sense why people like it more. Voyager had some questionable episodes, but I loved it.
The Doctor is top-tier all around.
>why the TNG movies (post Roddenberry's death all of 'em) were also kinda off and fanscripty
I felt the same way. It felt too grand, like they were going for a block-buster Much different feel than the series, where they could just focus on one aspect of humanity or something and play around with it for 45 minutes.
I liked that about Star Trek most of all.

Noted. I heard Orwell was pretty good, too. It may be a decade before I finish what I want to in Star Trek and decide to watch another serial Sci-Fi, but I'm sure the time will come.
Evan Anderson
Be warned. My review of DS9 is 1/3 complete trash scripts. 1/3 probably looked good on paper, but didn't pan out that great on film. and 1/3 pure gold that makes up for everything else and then some.
I found Voyager to be a lot more consistant in quality. Never any huge highs or lows like I got with DS9. So not sure who got priority. But those highs in DS9 were epic as fuck.
I too have heard this of Orwell... Not sure if I'll look into it or not though.
Landon Reed
My thing with doing Voyager over DS9 was I heard DS9 was mostly 2-3 episode long mini-arcs, whereas Voyager was almost completely episodic. I like knowing that I can spend just 45 minutes in one sitting to get a full story, without looking up to see how many episodes I'll need to watch for a conclusion.
Not a big thing, but enough to make the call.
Voyager only had like 5 episodes that I felt were kinda best. Rest were either good to amazing.
I think Orwell is more recent, and I heard it's similar to TNG/TOS in terms of sci-fi.
