New Series Watching Plan Feedback (startrek.website)

Back in the 90s, I remember watching episodes of Voyager and TNG on our little black-and-white TV and then watched the TOS movies 15 or so years ago. This past summer, I've started watching all the series and movies straight through. So far I have watched through all TOS, TAS, and am up through The Final Frontier (I know, I'm in for it with this one). I've been reviewing and rating all episodes as I go and could share my metrics if folks are interested, but really I wanted to get some feedback on my road map of the more recent series for maximal enjoyment.

There's a lot of recommendations out there for the 90s block, but less so for the series post Enterprise. So here's my current plan (which I'll probably get to in 3 or so years, but whatever): After I finish Voyager, I'll give a run to all of Enterprise before watching Nemesis. Then a brief reprieve with Lower Decks S1 followed by the Kelvin Universe. Then

Prodigy

Picard S1

Discovery S1 and S2

Picard S2

Discovery S3 and S4 (and maybe S5 now too)

Lower Decks S2

Picard S3

Strange New Worlds S1 and S2

Lower Decks S3 (and probably S4)

Thoughts? I'm probably over thinking it, but that's what we do, right?

You're overthinking it

[–] metalclipboard@startrek.website 1 points 1 year ago

Good answer. I probably am. I want to preserve story arcs and don't want to get burnt it's on any show

Google the Star Trek chronology project. That’s hands down the best viewing order IMO.

That's pretty cool. I knew some shows' plots were in parallel, but it's surprising seeing all the interleaving. I hope they update it with the new seasons soon. https://thestartrekchronologyproject.blogspot.com/2009/09/and-now-conclusion.html?m=1

And I hope they will add Lower Decks one day to the list, even if it's not live action.

Prodigy too, currently watching Kobayashi and it’s pure beautiful Trek

Once you hit the new shows, I’d suggest letting whim take you a bit. If you’re really digging one snow stick with it; if not, give it a rest for a bit until you are.
