I’m always stunned to hear from Star Trek fans who haven’t tried any of the animated shows. They may not be to everyone’s taste - but…not to even give them a try?

I understand that there’s a real bias among some against animation as a media form, but even TAS rose above the norms for American Saturday morning cartoons to get the franchise’s only series Emmy.

Anyhow, I keep finding myself encouraging fans to at least give each of the three animated series a run through. Even the two intended for younger audiences - TAS and Prodigy - are really designed to appeal to all ages.

Especially now, with Star Trek Prodigy needing to find a new home, it’s all the more important to give them the support of views. #SaveStarTrekProdigy!

I started with DISCO, then PIC, then SNW. I don’t think there’s any particular reason I haven’t watched TAS, Lower Decks or Prodigy🤔

It’s only available to purchase - either as a DVD set or through an Apple,Amazon etc.

At least until it finds a new home.

S1 and S2 are a bit wonky, but S2 features a fav episode of mine (The Blood Oath) and after that DS9 really takes off. Enjoy!

If my friend and I have time at the same time this week we need to catch up on “Foundation” and “What We Do in the Shadows.”

Our previous thursday sci-fi binges have included rewatches of TOS and Red Dwarf.

I’m working through my backlist of things I have never watched, but don’t have a dedicated alternate Thursday evening replacement.

I’m also slowly working through a few shows, including Foundation, with my spouse who is a very occasional television viewer. Thursday SNW has been the very rare ‘appointment television’ watch for them.

I intend to give Lower Decks season three a rewatch before season four premieres.

I havent watched much TNG only " the best of both worlds" and “chain of command” as they were in the picard tv & movie collection. If you have any episodes of TNG to recommend please let me know

From the first two, rough seasons: Encounter at Farpoint (to establish Q); Heart of Glory; Conspiracy; The Neutral Zone; A Matter of Honor; Measure of a Man; Q Who; Elementary Dear Data; Samaritan Snare (to introduce a key antagonist in Lower Decks); The Emissary.

If you enjoy these, you may just wish to plow on through seasons 3-6. Season 7 is eccentric.

General off-topic chat for the crew of startrek.website. Trek-adjacent discussions, other sci-fi television, navigating the Fediverse, server meta (within reason), selling expired cases of Yamok sauce, it’s all fair game.
