Yet Another Star Trek Primer. in Whey and Sonic Screwdrivers.

Curious about my massive nerd-on for Star Trek, but don’t know where to start? Timmy is here to help! With ten series, thirteen movies, and two new series on the way, it can seem as overwhelming as delving into fifty years of Doctor Who.

(Okay, I wrote this out for a friend, but hey, never know.)

Just a dozen episodes. All season/episode annotations are as they appear on Netflix. Limited to first three seasons to avoid spoilers in TNG, DS9, AND VOY. I love Enterprise, but I had to limit myself. Do know a girl who started her journey with Enterprise.

TOS:
s1e29: “City on the Edge of Forever”
s2e17: “A Piece of the Action”
s3e15: “Let That Be Your Last Battlefield”

TNG
s2e9: “The Measure of a Man”
s3e15: “Yesterday’s Enterprise”
s3e16: “The Offspring”

DS9:
s1e18: “Duet”
s2e11: “Rivals”
s3e3: “The House of Quark”
s3e17: “Visionary”

VOY
s2e24: “Tuvix”
s3e22: “Real Life”

The Original Series, The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, and Voyager, respectively.

And really, whether you watch my suggestions in order or not? Just pick a series and go. It doesn’t really matter which. Most would say Next Generation. But if you want more drama, Deep Space Nine might be up your alley. And if you love coffee, maybe Voyager might be up your alley.

Eh.

Any chance for anyone to join the Star Trek family. <3
