To commemorate Star Trek Day, I thought we could share our entry points to the franchise. I expect we’ll find the full range of experiences.
I have never really been into Star Trek but that’s mostly because I have never properly introduced myself to it.
My first contact was the 2009 film Star Trek, which upon looking at the rest of the franchise feels so grandiose in the action genre but also had a few great character moments. I enjoyed that one and then the Black Mirror parody episode U.S.S Callister was really good too
Besides that I have seen a few odd scenes and memes but really want to get into the series someday.
My parents bought a TOS DVD set. They watched it originally when it was airing.
TOS in the early 90s.
Boy, was I disappointed, when I discovered how old it already was 😅.
TOS ‘The Devil in the Dark’ in first run.
I was barely in school, but my slightly older neighbour who’d hooked me on Time Tunnel and Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea, convinced me that Star Trek must be seen.
I quickly caught up during the hiatus reruns, and have seen absolutely all of it in first run since.
TNG 4x17 - Night Terrors
Still a fave.
