As a kid i loved watching the next generation and deep space 9 with my dad. Ive always liked sci fi, more of a (stargate fan) and wanted to get back into star trek, but Im just so lost on timelines and whats going on. There are like 6 kirks and I have no idea how/where to get started with watching this again.
Man, no, I’d stay away from Picard to start. It’s such a bummer if you jump into it back to back.
Granted, I like it a lot less than most in general, but “hey, it’s the guys you remember, just old and cranky now” is not the vibe I’d like to come back. I’ll post it separately, but the current show that carries the serialized, free-form tone best is probably Strange New Worlds. There’s plenty of time to get into Picard for continuity and nostalgia’s sake later.
