The quality of Star Trek in 1997 was an embarrassment of riches. Some of the best parts of the Dominion War on Deep Space Nine, Scorpion and Year Of Hell on Voyager, and First Contact in theaters. It was a great year to be a Star Trek fan!

The quality of Star Trek that I’ve seen this year has been giving me similar feelings, watching them hit it out of the park every week, wondering how they are going to top the last one then watching them do it, again and again. Is it just me?

    The fact that so much highly rated Trek is out now is vaguely enticing but overwhelming for someone not familiar when anything in the current generation. How is the new stuff supposed to be attacked? I also was not into the Abrams movies that I saw, I’d always preferred the more mundane and cerebral stuff in TNG and the slow paced world building and character development in DS9.

      Take a seat in your favorite chair and start with episode 1, season 1 of Strange New World! It is a lot of fun imo and if you remember anything, you are rewarded. But, if it is your first series, you are welcome! I really like it for that reason.
