    i went to several fan parties commemorating the 30th & 40th anniversaries and comparing them to the relative cricket chirping for the 50th and 60th anniversaries makes me wonder about the trajectory of the series’ popularity.

    I watched lower decks (my first real entry into Star Trek) and really liked it, so I started watching TNG.

    Does the original series hold up? I’ll need something to watch after I’m done with TNG

      IMHO TOS is the best Trek but as stated it’s a sign of it’s time.

      What I appreciate is it’s more like a western than TNG which is more heavy on the beaurocracy which is also a sign of the times.

      TOS has a magical simplicity that is so easy to get lost in.

      The past is a foreign country; they do things differently there.

      The original series was definitely of a different era, best viewed through an anthropological lens.

    In the middle of a voyager rewatch rn, but I’ll pry do the original series after. It surprised me how good it was.

    I’m going through TNG for the first time and I have really enjoyed everyone’s performances. There’s the occasional cheesy or over-the-top plot, but most of them touch on seriously interesting perspectives on issues that I hadn’t necessarily considered.

    As someone majorly into cinema, I was definitely putting this one off for too long. I plan to watch Voyager, then the original series then just sort of jump around from there. I get why it’s such a sensation now.

    It’s technically better than Star Wars now.

    I heard even Picard season 3 was alright too and everyone hated that show.
