Step Three: Boldy Go Where Trek Fans Have Gone Before

You’ve now watched four of the feature films and six episodes of the TV series. If you’ve made it this far, it’s safe to say you’ve fully bought in on this silly Star Trek thing. The next step is to just explore this massive universe. Go back and watch all three seasons of the original series in their entirety. Watch The Motion Picture. Don’t ever watch Star Trek V (seriously, it’s horrendous). There’s also the animated series which features the voices and many of the writers from the original series (and it’s canon!). And once you’ve exhausted all of the original cast adventures, there’s still 600 or so more Trek episodes from the other spin-off shows if you choose to go that deep. For me, none of it was ever as good as the original series and its corresponding films, but there are a lot of people out there who go bananas for The Next Generation.

The great thing is that it’s totally up to you. Now that you’ve gotten the ground work, you can pick and choose, or you can just fully immerse yourself in the world of Trek. The choice is yours. Have fun!
