Hi! I thought this was a funny screenshot, but I haven’t actually seen any of the series yet. I have been thinking about starting with TNG, though; I love the idea of the Borg, even if I know it’ll take a while for them to show up in the series.

I’ve been recommending Voyager as a good one to start with. They’re immediately flung to the opposite side of the galaxy, no lore to know, hella Borg stuff, wheelin’ deelin’ to get home, fewer moralistic messaging, hijinx ensue. They have to smoosh crews with revolutionaries out the gate, an interesting way to interrogate the hierarchical structure of Starfleet. Jeri Ryan’s, Borg drone Seven of Nine comes along in season 4 and is a fucking revelation, some of the best character stuff. And peak Jeri Taylor, the VOY head writer with TNG roots.
Voyager is the one older Trek show that, as a whole, just doesn’t catch me. There’s too many episodes that feel like filler, and the show doesn’t seem to care about it’s premise all that much.
I am turning into dust as I read this.
The older Trek shows are and will always be limited to TOS and TAS.
Oh, you mean the ancient trek shows? From the pre-historic times?
Sir, how dare you say something so accurate.
I believe the preferred nomenclature is “Prime Timeline” for the 90s shows. At least that’s what feels best in my dusty bones.
I love Voyager, but it is one of the series that fans hate on, for some reason. Other than the GOAT ST:NG, the best series is generally considered DS9. The final story arc in the last season is some of the most exciting TV ever.
Enterprise and Discovery are the dogs.
