Is there any equivalent to the Star Trek viewing party sub yet? I'm watching through Next Gen right now and reading through each episode's thread afterwards is pretty enjoyable. There isn't enough love for TOS on that sub though

I don't think you can go wrong with either one! I love TNG and rewatch it constantly. You're right that TOS has fewer takers but I'm sure there will be some who will want to re-watch to refresh their memories on the details of the episodes. My partner and I rewatched Balance of Terror, the Cage, Arena, and Space Seed because of SNW. I'm sure others wouldn't be here if we weren't down to discuss any Trek in some way.

All absolute banger episodes ๐ŸคŒ I think TOS gets a bad rap because people see the clip from Arena taken out of context, and imagine that Zapp Brannigan is one-to-one Captain Kirk, but there is some great stuff in there. And when you watch it knowing the context of its era it really shows how ahead of its time it is.
