Well said Preston! I am here too to help out how I can. I would also like to tag onto this and reiterate what @king_dead@beehaw.org said so well: A lot of online negative discourse surrounding Star Trek is based on the franchises choice to be inclusive and diverse. Any homophobia, racism, sexism, etc will result in your comment being removed (as this is the Possum Patio’s general standard).

There is infinite diversity in infinite combinations in this universe. We choose to celebrate diversity instead of shy away from it, and hope that any discourse follows this guideline.

The ‘zoom out’ on the map to show all the different civilizations gave me some real Stellaris vibes! If this is done well, it could end up being a super great game! I’m looking forward to it 😁

Everything is a lot of Star Trek! (but you should really watch everything eventually) I recommend tackling it one series at a time, and it will go by faster than you’d think,

My wife and I started with Star Trek: The Next Generation (TNG) and I think it is a great place to start!

After that you could watch Star Trek: Voyager (VOY) or Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (DS9). DS9 being one of my favorite pieces of media ever. I love it so much. 🥲

Or if you want something more modern you can start with Star Trek: Strange New Worlds (SNW). The second season airs in a few weeks, and I hope it’s just as amazing as the first season!

My wife introduced me to Star Trek about 5 years ago now, and it’s still our favorite thing to watch together! We’ve watched through almost everything together, and it’s been the best way to enjoy Trek!

We always try to watch new episodes the evening they drop, so we’re really looking forward to SNW S2! 🥳
