I poked around a while and couldn’t find anything, I see memes from y’all all the time and the progressive nature of Star Trek has got me. I wanna watch it....
If you find old shows charming, start with the original series and just roll with it. The original series is iconic, and it’s fun to see where it all came from.
If you want a little more substance, start with Star Trek: The Next Generation. It’s peak Trek in many ways (in terms of the whole Trek philosophy and world building).
This is probably my favorite story about the filming of TNG. He wanted to take it very seriously, his cast mates were all goofing around too much, and the end result landed somewhere in the middle, which I think served the show well in the end. Patrick Stewart elevated the show, and it might not have been so successful otherwise.
