I have already seen everything Trek some more than once already. I always get a bit sad on the last few episodes of a series. I am going to miss the characters and seeing them continue to grow and interact with each other.
The same thing happened when I finished my rewatch of DS9. I think it hit my harder with DS9 since that those characters had such a good chemistry with each other.
Once I finish Voyagers I plan to start watching TNG right away. I havn’t done a complete watch through of it for many years. I usually get the first 2 or 3 seasons before getting distracted. I have been looking forward to watching it again.
You were allowed to skip every Kazon episode except the one where they try to reverse engineer a replicator. (That might help on the next rewatch.)
Haha, I love how the Kazon are universally hated. I can stomach them, but I skip the Ireland episodes. God! They are bad.
What! Fairhaven is the best! Computer, delete the wife user! Just kidding. You’re entitled to your opinion.
But yeh, I get the hurt of the end of a series.
As for TNG rewatches, at this point I just go back to a favorite episode and start from there; it’s hard to sort good from bad in the early seasons.
I think I’ve watched the first two seasons enough to skip most of those episodes. Maybe I’ll just watch my favorite ones or the ones I don’t remember.
I’m totally watching the one where insects take over the star fleet admirals. 😂
I agree the end of a series can feel a little draining as the stories conclude. I get that way with books too.
Lots of rewatches of the trek series, and I do skip ones that are boring to me, sometimes I just follow main story arc with ent and voy, but there are some really good bottle episodes that I miss that way.
If it feels like work to watch an episode, then I skip it. Sometimes it’s the topic, or my mood, or life.
Enjoy tng again!
At this point when I re-watch Voyager, I tend to skip the episodes that don’t interested my. In my opinion, Voyager has issues with consistency, that I believe comes from fatigue in the formula the series’ in the (80s/90s/00s) used. There are some very high highs (message in a bottle, scorpion, blink of an eye) but equally low lows (threshold, any ireland based holodeck episode. Neelix and Kess stories). So its worth it for the ones you enjoy, but don’t sweat the bad ones - unless you want to watch everything
I’ve seen those bad episodes once also so I’d say that I paid my dues. But I don’t think threshold was that bad of an episode. It was a silly story, but it was still really fun to watch.
Same here but also, when a series is starting to get old when you’ve rewatched too much too recently or whatever, those “bad” episodes can be a fresh experience due to consistently avoiding them lol
I researched Voyager not too long ago and what I hadn’t realized until I did was how much it was all about Kess and then after that all about 7 of 9.
Starting with Season 5, Voyager did what the TNG movies did: they focused on the captain and the most popular crew member. Janeway & 7 of 9 became the new Picard & Data.
I usually skip all historical holodeck episodes in VOY, besides the WW2 ones
