I think the kelvin timeline is great for the sole fact that it is what peaked my interest in trek. I recently just finished watching everything trek and it was because the 09 movie was cool and got me to start watching the different tv series.

@M500 @cm0002 I think that’s amazing and wonderful. Any Star Trek vehicle from any point can be anyone’s gateway. And that’s why it’s still here. Rock on you!

Watching squabbles over this stuff is depressing. I have specific Trek I’ll avoid, but that’s me, and bringing it up over and over in every conversation is lame.

[–] M500@lemmy.ml 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Which is it? For me it’s TOS. There are some good episodes, but it can be really difficult at times.

[–] mwest@toot.works 0 points 11 months ago (1 children)

@M500 Season 1 and most of 2 of TNG is hard to get through because it's pretty campy. Wesley went on trial on a planet because he crushed some flowers. They were going to put him to death. :ablobflushed:

Personally though... I'm very into The Wrath of Khan. It's my list topper of great Trek. And I think that causes a lot of my disdain for "Into Darkness". Every time I've watched it, it makes me like angry? Which is weird I guess, but I can't objectively watch it. It's always with judgement.

I agree that tng 1 and 2 can be difficult too. I think it was just genes Star Trek that I had trouble with. Once he was no longer leading the show it picked up for me.

Not to say that it’s bad or I don’t like it. But compared to the rest of trek that’s what I like the least.

Khan was a great movie and I really enjoyed trek 2, 3, and 4. I think I was burn out by 6 as I’d just finished a ton of trek at that time.

Finished tos season 3, watched all of tas and prod, and then did all the tos movies to finish it off. So after 5 I was not ready to like another tos trek movie.

I expected TAS to be kinda of bad, but I think I genuinely enjoyed each episode. It is not talked about as much, but i really enjoyed it.
