@nepo I recommend folks who want to start in #StarTrek #TNG do so starting in the third season. Once they get into it, I encourage them to go back to seasons 1 and 2 (especially 2) since there are a lot of really good episodes.

#DS9 should start at the first season, but perhaps a curated subset of episodes.

#VOY also needs to start at the pilot, and honestly almost all the first season episodes are pretty good. With both VOY and #ENT, the first season is on par with the rest.

#SNW, #LowerDecks, #PRO are great from the start and awesome for newcomers. However #TOS, #TAS, #PIC, and #JJtrek should wait until they are #Trekkies.

#TheOrville is also a good jump-in point.

In the fan films, there was also a terrible TOS-era fan-fic where the humans don't act like humans and then they rando jump 800 years into the future because they couldn't keep themselves straight with canon. Just skip that and try Phase II/New Voyages and Star Trek Continues instead...better quality there.

I've not seen #TheOrville or the #BattlestarGalactica remake, although I've read good things. The latter for the political storylines, and the former for being Star Trek in a period when the world was starved for actual Star Trek.

I did see #Caprica, though, and it unfortunately lives alongside #DarkSkies as something that had a multi-series plan that never got off the ground.
