There are 943 Star Trek episodes and movies if you include Short Treks and the Kelvin timeline.
As of today, having finished the second season of Prodigy (and if you do not watch it, you are missing out on so much!) I have seen all 943.
So, this is the thread for members of the 943 club and those who hope to get there.
As far as what has officially been announced for what’s coming up, there will soon be a 965 club (10 episodes each of LD and SNW plus the Section 31 movie).
So let’s talk about it, club members: Where did you start and where did you finish? What was your journey? I started watching TOS reruns as a toddler with my brother. I was born in 1977, so I remember watching the premiere of TNG and being so excited. I remember Nickelodeon broadcasting TAS reruns. I remember going to my first Star Trek convention the day after Star Trek V premiered and the hype was still enough for people to just be excited about a new Star Trek movie. I remember the premiere of DS9 and people unfavorably comparing it to Babylon 5. I remember the premiere of Voyager and the anger by some people online about a female captain and a black Vulcan. I remember First Contact exceeding everyone’s expectations and Insurrection being a huge disappointment. I remember Enterprise being lackluster enough for me to give up, but being glad I came back so I could see season four. I remember the JJ movies and I was not pleased with any of them even though I saw them all. I remember not liking season 1 of Discovery but giving it a chance and sticking with it and then being excited about SNW because of Pike. I remember thinking that an animated Rick and Morty Star Trek was a terrible idea until I saw Lower Decks. And I remember saying animated Star Trek for kids just wasn’t for me and now I rank a lot of Prodigy episodes amongst the best of Star Trek (the Kobiyashu Maru episode was incredible).
And now my journey through Star Trek television and film is at a pause until more comes out. I hope the journey will not come to an end any time soon and there will be a 1000+ club eventually.
Welcome club members and club hopefuls!
It was a loud minority. People who didn’t understand that Star Trek has always been about diversity. The “Vulcans aren’t black!” people were especially silly. I kept saying to them, “how many Vulcans out of the billions of Vulcans out there have we actually seen?” And TNG already had women who were admirals, so the complaints about Janeway were silly too.
It’s the usual conservative contingent of Star Trek fans who ignore everything that makes Star Trek what it is in favor of pew pew space battles.
