Deepex Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 I'd say either The Original Series or The Next Generation. The Next generation was made a long time after the Original Series from the 60s. TNG really hits its stride a few seasons in. I wouldn't start with Deep Space 9 or Voyager first.

Dont listen to the lemming fan boys who say 'only the even number star trek sequals are good' for some reason this has been regurgitated to every Trek fanboy and his mom. I think its bullshit, most of the star trek movies (even some of the TNG ones) are pretty enjoyable. Most people agree Wrath of Khan (#2) is best, i think its pretty good but just as good as some of the other ones, a little overhyped if you ask me. the 1st movie Star Trek the Motion Picture is very ambient and almost a 2001 like film directed by old time filmmaker Robert Wise (andromeda strain, day the earth stood still, West side story). Its widely considered the worst Star Trek movie for the reason of how slow it unfolds but i think this is part of its appeal., its a very good film.

I say watch the original series first because TNG is basically an extension of the original show, it's first 2 seasons especially have a much more original series feel than the rest of TNG. When i was a kid i started on TNG and only saw the original series much later in my late teens, it made me have a whole new appreciation for star trek.

Plum Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 i often think how great it would be getting strummed off by mr. data. he could masturbate your penis at such a staggering rate, far beyond human capabilities. i don't reckon you'd last a minute, with him going at it like a paint shaker, before he had you ejaculating your kidneys and teeth!

Guest Mr Salads Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 I saw the films before I really got into TNG. Watching the first films (with Spock, McCoy, Kirk) may not be a bad idea. You can skip the original series that way since the movies are much less cheesy. Watch those, then watch TNG. Star Trek Generations joins the cast of the original with TNG to some pretty good effect I think even though its hated by lots of fans.
