You're on the internet. You're on Lemmy. And you never seen Star Trek?
Good Lord.
There's at least 7 of us
Actually, I lie, I watched the Borg episode where Picard was assimilated(?)
Spoilers!
No one seemed to pick up on your reference.
You thought we didn't get the reference, didn't you?
Acting.
Oblivious, oblivious, oblivious, I GET THE JOKE, oblivious, oblivious...
Hmm…it's a different actor in a different scene, but the reference checks out.
There's too much content! I have seen Babylon 5... wait that probably hurts my case..
The saying goes, start when Riker gets his beard which is season 2.
Season 1 might put you off and you can come back to it.
If you want to start in season 1, and decide to bail, just jump to season 2.
If you enjoy 2 you could always go back and catch up on 1
I will start with season one I just can't physically do otherwise but I will keep that in mind! Thank you!
Season 1 is a little rough but some of the classics episodes are there.
Honestly I can understand that. It's pretty overwhelming. Personally, if I were you, I would start with TNG and see how you like it. But... Give it two seasons. There's some gold in the first season but at the same time from absolutely horrible shit, including one of only two episodes that I can't rewatch when I burn through the series again.
But then it really takes off in season 2. Hell that one has measure of a man which is not only one of the best episodes of Star Trek it's one of the best episodes of anything I've ever seen.
Let me guess, Code of Honour? And the other one is Sub Rosa?
Dead on with code of honor. No on the second one though. That one's honestly so bad it's fun. The other one I can't bother with is the riker clip episode.
Oh right I think I had completely suppressed any memory of the clip episode. And it was only in like season 2, not even long enough to really earn a clip episode.
And they actually made the fact that it was a clip episode part of the plot.
That's pretty normal, isn't it? Admittedly I can't recall any true clip episodes apart from this one right now (unless you count the Community "clips of hypothetical episodes that never existed" episode, or the Avatar "characters go watch a play about the events of the preceding 3 seasons" episode), but my vague recollection is that they would always have some sort of frame narrative, even if it's as simplistic as "characters reminisce".
Edit: oh actually, speaking of Avatar, if I'm remembering correctly, Korra did a clip episode. I think the creators made a public apology ahead of time basically saying "we had to do this for budgetary reasons". I don't remember what the frame narrative was around that episode. I do remember it involved these awful "extra cartoony" figures popping up in the corner throughout though.
Eh true I guess.
Yeah I was actually gonna start with TNG. I know I'm absolutely gonna be obsessing over it for the rest of my life once I do. It is 100% my kind of show I already know it.
