      Which star trek is the best intro to someone young but totally new to the show/series itself? The original w/Shatner? I only know him from Family Guys various gag and cursing Kahn from Fiddler on the Roof

        My friend is super into star trek and convinced me to watch some with him. I’d say go look up a ‘top 5’ of the OG star trek, watch those, then do what the others have suggested.

        Probably a toss up between The Next Generation (TNG) and Deep Space 9 (DS9). Do note that Star Trek series normally need about a season to find their footing. Season 1 of TNG was mid-tier but it still is a source of plenty of memes.

        I think TNG is likely the better starting point. The original series (TOS) is painfully old fashioned, which could ve a good thing or bad depending on your tastes.

          TNG is also painfully old fashioned. Especially the fist two seasons are … hard to watch sometimes.

          Honestly: I would start with VOY. It’s easy to watch, has a certain amount of action, and doesn’t lose it too much with society and politics.
