Hi all! Long time Star Trek fan here with my first post. I'm gonna start out by saying that I promise I'm not a hater of Discovery at all. It just has done nothing for me and from what I read, has not made any changes that would have solved my personal issues with it. I'm fine with others liking it and honestly wish that I did...
Yes. Not all of it, just the first 2 seasons. People saying no are forgetting Pike learning something about himself in Discovery is basically his prime motivator throughout SNW. It is a fundamental pillar of his character.
Spock has some important backstory in Disco as well. Good for general star trek edification but not necessary to enjoy spock as a character in SNW.
She's always this small, fair skinned dark featured woman, but more importantly is her strength and gentleness, and how they empower eachother. The subtleties are differently from series to series, but they're all good portrayals of a complex, interesting character.
They really nail him, yeah. Nimoy had many female admirers but was not your typical handsome man. But his portrayals have been getting more and more traditionally sexy. I'm a straight dude, but only when it's humans. 🖖🍑🥕
My wife recently started to show an interest in watching Star Trek. Previously she had seen The Wrath of Khan when she was single digits in age and not much else....
Why not just go through it in order? Make the new stuff a treat earned for getting through everything else. I’d start with the TOS pilot and go forward. She’ll either like trek or she won’t, jumbling it up isn’t going to make her like it more, but it may make her like it less.
Do I Need to Watch Discovery To Enjoy SNW?

Star Trek shows come in varying degrees of quality, but one thing that has remained consistently good is the casting of Amanda Grayson, Spock's mom.

Ultimate Chronological Star Trek Viewing Guide ( www.startrekviewingguide.com )
This was created by Reddit user /u/JohnKFisher, and I think it’s a neat uncluttered guide for all Star Trek that’s especially useful for newbies.

When should I start showing someone new to Trek new shows?
