I have watched every film and every episode of every series of Star Trek. It was glorious, the only thing I didn't really enjoy was the animated series.

I saw a lot of TNG when it was on TV when I was younger and always loved it so a few years back I decided to just watch everything trek available. There's so much, I can't quite believe I actually finished it all.

It's been a long road, now bring on Strange New Worlds!

I think watching all those hours may actually change your brain wiring. Hopefully for the better.

I couldn't really tolerate the animated show, or Babylon 5. But everything else has passed through these neurons at one time or another. Fortunately, it's been so many years, I sometimes come across an episode I can't remember and it's like getting a new one.

Strange new worlds is amazing. It feels actually true to TOS, without just being nostalgic. I feel like Gene Roddenberry would be so happy to see it, and recognize it as his universe far more than any of the other 21st century trek.

So, I have a story about Star Trek the Animated Series.

My friends and I used to watch it in college, but it was a drinking game. We watched it in Spanish, with no subtitles (and none of us speak Spanish). And there were certain things they said every episode, and everybody drinks when they say it.

You’ve had first complete watch of Star Trek, yes. But what about second watch?

Now you can join the rest of us in rewatching it all over and over!

I’m on season 7 of DS9 of my… how many times have I watched this? I’ve lost count. A few days ago I had to watch Tears of the Prophets. Always a sad episode to watch. Voyager is next in my queue.

[–] astroturds@startrek.website 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Thanks! Honestly it was hard to resist starting again immediately!

The great thing about it is there is so much to get through, by the time you've finished it the memories of the beginning are fading.

I'm excited to watch it all again!

[–] slashzero@hakbox.social 1 points 1 year ago

Believe me, I know. As I’ve said, I’ve lost count of how many times I have rewatched everything. I’m looking forward to watching Voyager again as soon as I complete season 7 of DS9.

[–] DeportLilac@beehaw.org 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I never really got hooked on DS9. I only watched it in the background while doing other stuff.

Would you tell me about the things you like about it?

I would love to give it another shot and i think hearing what other people like about it would help me see its good sides!

[–] slashzero@hakbox.social 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

There are a lot of things to like about DS9. I’ll try to name some without spoiling anything.

One of the main ones is the fact it shows a darker more realistic side of humanity that at the time wasn’t present in other Trek. It feels a little more “grown up,” I guess?

Another is the caliber of Avery Brooks’ acting (and the rest of the cast,) but Avery Brooks in some of the episodes is just truly amazing…

  • Far Beyond the Stars
  • Past Tense
  • The Visitor

By second to third season the cast really gels and you just love every single one.

All the crap O’Brien goes through (you will finally truly understand all the memes)

Worf joins DS9 season 4 and adds even more great stories and interactions within the cast/crew

The entire overarching plot of the Dominion war and how it impacts the Federation (federation… heheh)

The whole Sisko / Emissary / Prophets story line across the entire 7 seasons and how he grows into that role

All the Holosuite episodes, but especially “Take Me Out To The Holosuite”.

All the Klingon episodes and interaction… Gowron, Martok, Worf

There are so many good characters, not just the core / Sr. Officers / main cast

GARAK… Garak is worth watching the entire 7 seasons just by himself.

Dukat, Winn Adami

Liquidator Brunt FCA

Romulans…

Ferengi… MOOOOOOOOOGIE… ROM and Nog… The Grand Nagus… and of course Quark… Little Green Men

THE DEFIANT (one hell of a ship)

To name a few… I could go on.

And of course, there are always the oddball episodes that continue to be a running joke within the DS9 community…

Move along home!

I've been on a marathon since April. In order I've watched Discovery season 2-4, SNW, TNG, DS9 and am at season 6 of Voyager. I've also broken up Voyager with the first 6 movies.

I did manage a couple of ToS episodes but I honestly find ToS hard to watch.

Voyager is feeling like a slog so it's not background viewing while I work from home and I've switched to The Orville for my evening viewing recently with a plan to watch Babylon 5 after.

[–] briongloid@aussie.zone 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I plan to get thru them eventually, I have only completed Enterprise as it was shorter.

I am about 1/4 of the way thru each VOY, TNG & DS9.

[–] astroturds@startrek.website 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I loved enterprise, I didn't think I'd be able to stop thinking 'that's the bloke from quantum leap' but he's captain Archer to me now.

Trip was great, I loved phlox, t'pol, porthos and Malcolm.

My favourite episode was the one where archer got his brain mashed by some anomaly and t'pol spent 12 years explaining the same thing to him every morning.

[–] briongloid@aussie.zone 1 points 1 year ago

I could understand people being disappointed that TNG was over and feeling that the replacement wasn't as great, but in itself watching it 10 years later I enjoyed it for the most part.

[–] xyon@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Well done, that's quite a commitment. I watched a lot of trek as it aired, but I've still not quite seen all of TOS or ENT - and I've skipped out on the Kelvin films after 2009.

The most surprising one I think has been Prodigy; I didn't expect it to be as compelling as it ended up being.

[–] astroturds@startrek.website 1 points 1 year ago

I kept prodigy until last because I was convinced that it would be too childish but it was superb!

I love murf!
