TNG S1 is… odd, to say the least. There are a few single episodes I do like, though. S2 starts off stronger compared to S1 (which is not that difficult) and starting with S3, TNG really takes off. Enjoy the ride!

Of course one can start with LD, but as I said before, it only worked for me because of all the references since the characters, the story and the style of comedy just don’t do it for me personally.

I was about to say this is the perfect manual to getting stabbed in that country. ^^

I think SNW is a good start for someone enterily new to Star Trek. However, I would advise against starting with Lower Decks. Maybe it’s just not my cup of tea in general and the only reason I did enjoy LD quite a lot is due to tightly knitted references (i.e. Giant Spock’s skeleton, prank calling Armus, and so on). It’s basically like how someone here recommended TNG before DS9 because it sets the stage. It’s also why I’d recommend skipping SNW’s S2E7 (Those old scientists) until you are familiar with LD in general.

May I ask about your favourites of TNG S2? There are some strong standalone episodes. :)

Great picks and I fully agree with the TNG before DS9 recommendation which I will share with my friend soon. Thank you.

Oh, absolutely. It might take a while, but I’ll let you all know which 3 episodes each made it to the final round and how project Trekkie Assimilation went on. ^^

Good. Fuck JKR.

That list is amazing! There are a lot of episodes I hold dear. Also thanks for adding TAS.

My friend is absolutely open to older shows. I somehow forgot about “Data’s Day”. I don’t know how that one slipped past me, but it’s truly great for beginners of Star Trek. I appreciate it!

Thanks, Body and Soul is so goofy, I love it! ^^

That would be Balance of Terror. Easily in my top 3 episodes of the entire franchise.

Those are pretty great. Thank you. Also nice you included the movies. And you picked 2 of my 3 favourite TOS episodes! :D

I love those suggestions. And yes, I think they are very suitable for someone new to the franchise. Thank you.

They should ask the French for tutoring.

If you are using the Connect app for Lemmy, you can block Hexbear and Lemmygrad in the settings. I did that as well.

I know, I live in the north of Germany.
