Why isn’t everyone having fun? I specifically requested it.
Insert a garden hose sized ethernet cable into their neck and watch them turn green and grow a circuit board on their face.
I SAID! … FUN WILL COMMENCE!!!
You get two options.
Star Trek, or LotREE full marathon, no breaks, bring your own jug.
Both, please.
And a second jug to drink out of.
Preceding this is when you hand them your orgasm-inducing Google Glass video game knock-off.
Like the VR system from the Star Wars Christmas Special?
I’ve always loved TNG, it was on the TV when I was growing up and spent a lot of time watching things. I hadn’t checked out anything other than TNG until late last year, but I’m now obsessed. DS9 was amazing, Voyager is currently amazing me, Picard (different flavor of show but still hit well for the most part), lower decks, disco, snw all are amazing too.
I think Deep Space Rhapsody is one of my favorite episodes of television I’ve ever seen. That’s just like, my opinion, man.
Looking forward to short treks and enterprise, then finally the 4k ai upscaled version of TOS (saving for last idk why)
I even have model kits of Voyager and the Defiant on the way <3
What should I get into next? Orville? Battlestar? The Expanse?
What should I get into next? Orville? Battlestar? The Expanse?
If you haven’t watched any of them, watch them all, all 3 are superb series!
The Orville has a specific Star Trek feeling, the other 2 are their own unique universe. The Expanse is the most hard sci-fi and the best of the 3.
Awesome, thanks!
Stargate SG-1 is really good in my opinion. Also after that is Stargate Atlantis.
What should I get into next? Orville? Battlestar? The Expanse?
Firefly.
There’s not much “getting into” with 14 episodes.
That’s the advantage!
I feel like in the span of these three comments, I’ve just been through the seven stages of grief.
You made me forcefully breathe out of my nose.
Oh yeah, firefly is among my top tier fandoms, good looking out!
Babylon 5. It aired around the same time DS9 first did.
Oh nice, that was not on my radar at all, thank you!
Watching your first Star Trek episode.
"The greatest suspension of disbelief you’ll have to get over isn’t the transporters, it’s humanity being among the most noble sapient species in the galaxy.
If you can swallow that wildly fantastical pill, it’s amazing."
-my standard pitch, then when they get to the mirror verse I tell them our timeline is about to get a cameo.
Not starting them off with Enterprise, I see…
Honestly I go TNG, ToS is for if they get hooked and are willing to look over the modest production values of the time.
Same! (Unless it’s someone who likes a to roast their media a little, then I start them off with TOS “Savage Curtain” – the Abe Lincoln episode. Whatever sets the hook!)
All of season 1 TNG…
