    I’m ashamed to say I’ve never watched Star Trek but I intend to do so at some point. He was the captain in The Next Jeaneration, right?

          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

          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.
