Hi there. A friend of mine wants to get into Star Trek (finally, yay). She asked me which series would be a good start since she loves binge watching. I honestly couldn’t say. My favourites are VOY, ENT S1/S2 & SNW, but I’m a big fan of all series and watched them so many times back to back (with the exception of DIS & PIC - only once and never again). So, instead I thought we could watch the top 3 episodes of each series and then she can pick one to start watching the entire thing. Let me hear your top 3 episodes of one or several series. Just keep in mind she doesn’t know any of the lore yet. I’m really looking forward to see your takes.
TOS: Balance of Terror, The Doomsday Machine, City on the Edge of Forever
TNG: The Measure of a Man, Yesterday’s Enterprise, Deja Q
DS9: Progress, Duet, Trials and Tribbleations
VOY: Body and Soul, Year of Hell, Tuvix
Thanks, Body and Soul is so goofy, I love it! ^^
When Jeri Ryan eats cheesecake for the ‘first time’ it gives me the giggles for the rest of the day.
“City on the edge of forever” is amazing in so many ways.
Trials and Tribblestions isn’t a good newbie episode because without context from the original series it doesn’t make any sense.
