    We’ve watched one, yes.

    But what about second episode?

    There’s a whole Buffet of Star Trek to choose from now.

    Until 1987 i kept streaming the few 79 episodes from TOS in a loop for years. Let that sink in.

        Well, a sort of analog live stream on a schedule published in various pulp paper publications.

    Why do I find older Star Trek so cozy? Is it just nostalgia? The relatively utopian view of the future? The competence of the characters? The fact that each episode has a tidy ending instead of a cliffhanger?

      Unless it’s a 2 parter. Of course, you wouldn’t rob yourself the satisfaction of simply watching both episodes back to back.

        Or a 3 parter! The Circle trilogy was so much fun.

          Which “Best of Both Worlds” technically is, where “Family” serves as the catharsis to Picard’s ordeal.

      This definitely is why I seem to like TNG and VOY over DS9, although I know I’m only one of like 5 people that don’t like DS9 as much.

    According to ChatGPT there are 799 episodes of Star Trek from TNG onwards (this is just my personal preference… you may wish to include TOS and TAS)

    At one a night, that will take over two years, in which time, there will doubtless be another series or four, plus extra seasons of the existing ones…

    Not me! I am still trying to get through the last season of Babylon Five first…

    After that, which of the newer series should I engage (hehe) with first - is chronological release the best way? I’ve watched everything up through to the end of Enterprise (yuck).

      Well, you’ve amassed enough Trek knowledge that Lower Decks is worthwhile without getting lost on most of the references. Otherwise, Strange New Worlds provides enough familiarity whilst being more modern.

    I remember back in the late 90’s when there were two episodes of TNG (reruns) every weeknight. Those were the days.
