Welcome to a Star Trek community where you’re free to chat and share your opinions about all things Trek!

I want to have a place where fans can come to praise, discuss, and even criticise things in the Star Trek franchise. No show or movie is perfect, and I don't believe people should be silenced for having a dissenting opinion. That being said, there are still a few rules.

Be Nice - No personal attacks. You can disagree with someone's opinion, but it needs to stop there.

No Slurs - This is applicable to ethnicity, religion, gender, or anything else.

No Adult Content - Keep it family friendly.

No Spamming or Trolling - Consistently spamming comments or trolling is just not needed.

Please keep topics Trek related or Trek adjacent for the most part, and have fun!

I recently had to think about this when a friend asked about which show he should buy on DVD to start.

I had to think quickly because he asked me while he was in a store that has a lot of complete TV shows on DVD/BD, and needed to know before he left.

After thinking for a few minutes, I decided to start him with TNG and continue in release order. TOS is just extremely difficult to look at and take seriously. I'll have him get to it probably after the 3 "golden age" shows. Give him a reason to like the franchise before dealing with the old look.

So we'll circle back to it for sure, but I want him to like the show.
