I started watching Strange New Worlds the other week, I’ve really enjoyed the writing! The only other Trek media I’ve seen were the Abrams movies, which were okay I guess. I understand Strange New Worlds is a prequel to the original series, is it worth it to watch the original series after I finish it? Are there any series to avoid?

    Ay ay, my plan is to watch it and just shrug off the bad bits. I’m usually able to take something from media most people call bad (even if I agree), because sometimes a good actor saves bad writing or vice versa or there’s a good bit of set design or worldbuilding. Trek sets such a rich world that I don’t mind the occasional ‘bad’ episode

      you’re in for a treat then. oh man I wish I could experience Star Trek again for the first time, especially TNG and DS9. I’m insanely jealous of you right now.

      It’s pretty bad lol, but not in a bad way if that makes sense. The actors just hadn’t found their roles yet, and the writers hadn’t figured out how to use the characters. But it’s all worth watching so you can appreciate what it becomes.
