Just a heads-up: the first episode of SNW season 3 becomes fair game October 17.
You have to watch Star Trek Continues, it picks up immediately where ToS left off.
Yes, it’s a fan show, but it’s got absolutely fantastic sets, sound, acting and writing, it goes above and beyond.
It’s really top notch, and I was so sad when they stopped making it!

If you’re into podcasts, I highly recommend Improvised Star Trek.
Watch them all again and listen to the best Trek podcast around
Babylon 5?
Babylon 5 is DS9 in the right universe, with muppets!
Ivonova and Sinclair never attacked a populated planet. Technically Sheridan did, but I don’t think Za’hadum actually counts as inhabited…
Farscape!
Came here to say this.
Next step:
Wait… Are we only allowed to do it twice?
They just said “again”
the orville. written by and stars some of the pre-2010s talent
Had an argument with my dad about The Orville. He said it was too ‘woke’ and political. I told him that’s exactly what makes it feel like good classic Trek.
Has your dad watched classic trek recently? Its mostly woke.
That’s what I don’t get. It’s like the people saying Sesame Street has gotten too woke. Were you even paying attention the first time? That’s what I liked about many episodes of The Orville: it felt like classic Star Trek because it was pushing the envelope of social and philosophical issues through a sci-fi lens.
He asked me if he would like SNW and I wasn’t sure what to tell him. The cast may be more diverse, but honestly the plots have largely been focused on action.
Season 4 let’s gooooo! 🥹
i know im so excited!!
Stargate?
I am the great and powerful Oz!
You give us your ranking from best to worst show, in your personal opinion. Then we all get to argue about it and have fun.
Not op, but this is definitive, so we can get into an argument when your list is slightly different
Ds9
LD
TOS
TNG
VOY
SNW
ENT
TAS
Prodigy
Discovery/Picard
Putting TOS as 3rd is just wrong, have you even watched it recently? Absolute terrible opinions good sir, especially having the greatest musical of all time so low on the list.
I watch TOS relatively frequently, watched a few episodes the other day. It’s a really fantastic show, more great episodes in the first season than some other shows have their entire run. The Spock/Kirk/McCoy dynamic is as special as it has ever been. Pacing is slower, which I like, and even a lot of the mediocre eps do a really nice job setting up a mystery that they actually solve.
There’s also a lot of truly awful eps, and highly outdated bits, but a great show.
Also, much like Janeway I don’t appreciate being called sir, ma’am will do in a pinch. (I know Star Trek was trying to be progressive by using sir universally, but I find it mildly sexist)
And I agree, it hurt to put Voyager as low as it was, the doctor’s rendition and alteration of la Donna e mobile was as brilliant as you state, but still had to put TNG higher, so many great episodes.
I’ll make a post of it after some thought. Gotta tease the crowd before stirring them up into a fervor.
“And ummthatguy wept, for there were no more Treks to watch.”
Continues is amazingly good.
More than it has any right to be
This and The Orville.
then you watch all of star wars
will that get me crucified in this community?😂
Easy, get amnesia then watch Star Trek again for the first time!
Time to start watching Gundam
I started that path, I’ve only hit highlights.
Edit: it’s all good so far, but I sadly don’t have subtitle Time, so only dubs are in my future. (I’m usually doing something else while it plays)
You can watch a large chunk of UC with dubs. ZZ isn’t dubbed, and a few of the newest ones aren’t dubbed yet, but otherwise it’s probably one of the more accessible anime to get into. If you’ve only seen highlights I would say it’s a good time to just start episode 1 of 0079 and roll it. It’s not like every episode is amazing, but it’s fun and cool to see where the story begins.
I just find it nearly impossible to get my hands on like 75% of gundam content
As a Gundam fan in the west, you really have to turn to the pirates. Part of me wishes Sunrise/Bandai would get their shit together and get it all available, but as somebody who has followed the series since the late 90s it’s kind of always been this way. You can buy the Blu Rays if that’s your thing, but you can also find everything in great quality from multiple sites.
The one tracker i have access to doesnt have any that arent widely available elsewhere unfortunately but maybe one day I’ll get on one that does.
UC or non-UC?
When I say Gundam I mean UC. Some of the other shows are entertaining, but they don’t feel like real Gundam to me. UC has hard sci-fi elements, political, space and mech battles. It’s a mix that hits pretty hard for me. Most of the non-UC shows are either goofy, or not ‘real robots’, or set mostly on earth.
Good answer 🙂
Yes
when I realize I have no new treks to watch
