We're on Enterprise now, having started watching Trek together a number of years ago streaming TNG. It's ... ok?
Enterprise took a long time to find itself to be honest and have some of the courage of its convictions, and just when it was settling into its own skin got cancelled.
It has the worst final episode of any TV series ever seen.
ENT also had the disadvantage of trying to get a foothold during a busy era of space sci-fi. Farscape, the Stargate franchise, BSG.
ENT had some cool ideas. I thought it was super interesting seeing humanity deal with the paternalism and mild but troubling colonialism of the Vulcans, for example. And it did a great job of making space feel like a frontier again.
Unfortunately, coming directly after several series' worth of the franchise making great strides in representation and diversity, its Bland White Guy Quotient was disappointingly high.

We all need help, getting from here to there.

Damn. RIP Nog.
Well f*ck, that's a shock.

Tell me about it. Didn't even recognise him under all that makeup.
Dang....certainly not one of the cast you'd expect to have already gone. ...and married not that long ago, too. So sorry for his family and friends.
He's the fourth to go as far as I know. Majel Barrett (Lwaxana Troi), Brock Peters (Sisko's father), and Barry Jenner (Admiral Ross) all went before him.
I can't remember, kazar, if you said you were planning to watch The Star Trek Animated Series? I recently watched the whole thing for the first time and wowza, it can get pretty bad at times.

I watched it after the original series.
The season 1 finale "Jihad" was so very very terrible. Nothing made any sense.
Man, TNG had some wonderful eps in season 7. Pegasus, Parallels, Lower Decks...
Then you have Masks and Sub Rosa. What a weird season.
I rewatched "Evolution" from TNG's Season 3 to commemorate its 30th anniversary recently and saw something I haven't see in the 30 odd years I've seen it. In the scene where Dr. Stubbs re-enacts The Shot Heard 'Round the World in his head just before the nanites zap him, as he falls asleep, he mouths "The Giants win the pennant:"
I’ve been doing this too... only it’s yearS of Trek. Prior to starting I’d only seen scattered TNG episodes after school. I recently picked the project back up in season 5 of TNG. Also just watched Star Trek VI for the first time and really liked it.
Pegasus is one of my favorite episodes. Good weird science, good suspense, good character conflict.
The Pegasus always reminds me of this gem:

This sums up star trek. Amazing.
Hahahaha.
That is one of the funniest things I've read in a long time. Never thought about it like that before!
Genesis is one of my favorites because Broccoli turns into a spider.
If anyone is watching the current shorts make sure to keep watching after the credits for The Trouble with Edwards episode.
That wasn't... half bad!
Though it wasn't quite the same without also seeing the teaser trailer release date pre-teaser, official teaser trailer, official trailer release date teaser, the official trailer release date announcement trailer, and then the international and red band trailers.
