    You’ll turn into us… slowly but surely. Sooner than later you’ll think something looks really cool and then look it up on YouTube. You’ll look up a few more clips then go “Eh, why not give this show a try.” From there it’s a slippery slope into bliss, my friend.

    Welcome to the subspace fold.

        Thanks to this sub I became a trekkie as well, would say that while I couldn’t get into TOS, these three rocked, Discovery, Strange new Worlds, and lower decks.

          Idek what TOS is lol the original series? My dad is an OG trekkie and had us watch some of that as kids but he didn’t try very hard to get us into it and hasn’t been following much of the new stuff either.

    This is accurate because it’s pretty much canon that Spock never watched a single episode of Star Trek either.

    Posts from this community popping up from time to time was actually what pushed me to start watching a few weeks ago. So, a big thank you to you all!

      Fantastic! Welcome to the franchise fandom family - large, argumentative but still fam.

      Also, this is one of the nicest, least toxic, places to talk to other fans.

      You have SO much amazing and interconnected content ahead of you, always so jealous of newcomers in that regard. No doubt you will enjoy 🖖

      Do yourself a favor tho, don’t watch the animated Lower Decks show until you’ve seen a good amount of trek series, the series is FILLED with old and new trek references/themes/stories that while still very enjoyable you won’t get everything. Although perhaps it would work in reverse and as you see in old trek what you saw in LD as a reverse reference haha

      I have so many star shows to watch.

      Like I have seen Stargate SG-1 but nothing for the rest of related tv shows.

      I have Star Wars stuff pending I have seen the two initials trilogies tough.

      0 from Star Trek except part of Picard.

      I also haven’t seen Battlestar Galactica

              That I have not seen but… the cast ??? Alan Rickman , Sigourney Weave, Tim Allen!?, Sam Rockwell, Justin Long, Rain Wilson… Even if it is the worst thing ever just for the cast it must be watched.

                Dude, get on and watch it! Because you’ll be watching it again later, it’s a great film to go back and just enjoy.

                For note, some Star Trek fans consider it the best Star Trek film, despite obviously not being Star Trek. Whether that’s true is up for debate, but it helps demonstrate the movie’s quality.

        Can totally relate, I have a NAS media server and I am addicted to archiving media to the point where I have seen maybe a drop in the bucket of what I have stored to watch haha

        Just do yourself a favor and like those other series, keep Trek on a list. If you enjoy Stargate I think you will enjoy Star Trek too, Picard is not exactly standard Trek if you will and doesn’t represent the older series exactly as they have more structure and more seasons

        You will likely be alive for awhile (hopefully!) so you’ll get to trek sooner or later :)

        They both had great first series/trilogies, kinda shitty follow-ups more than a decade later, and J. J. Abrams then hammered the final nails into both franchises in the 21st century.

    It is because of this shit that I’m now finished with Discovery, Lower Decks, 5 episodes into SNW, 20 Episodes into ENT, and 1.75 seasons through TOS.

    What an Inspiring place 🖖

    Seriously, how do you have access to the internet and never see a single movie/episode?
