Archer is a secret agent who is afraid of alligators, crocodiles, and brain aneurysms. Burnham is a guy who healed the world with comedy from his bedroom.
You have SO much amazing and interconnected content ahead of you, always so jealous of newcomers in that regard. No doubt you will enjoy 🖖
Do yourself a favor tho, don’t watch the animated Lower Decks show until you’ve seen a good amount of trek series, the series is FILLED with old and new trek references/themes/stories that while still very enjoyable you won’t get everything. Although perhaps it would work in reverse and as you see in old trek what you saw in LD as a reverse reference haha
Can totally relate, I have a NAS media server and I am addicted to archiving media to the point where I have seen maybe a drop in the bucket of what I have stored to watch haha
Just do yourself a favor and like those other series, keep Trek on a list. If you enjoy Stargate I think you will enjoy Star Trek too, Picard is not exactly standard Trek if you will and doesn’t represent the older series exactly as they have more structure and more seasons
You will likely be alive for awhile (hopefully!) so you’ll get to trek sooner or later :)
They both had great first series/trilogies, kinda shitty follow-ups more than a decade later, and J. J. Abrams then hammered the final nails into both franchises in the 21st century.
I watched Picard's Flute at the recommendation of a friend 10+ years ago. I'm assuming every episode is as perfect. Never watched another episode. Welcome the the club.
If you ever decide you want some great episodes to watch here are a handful great episodes off the top of my head: In the Pale Moonlight (Deep Space Nine), Subspace Rhapsody (Strange New Worlds-if you don't mind musicals), Equinox (Voyager), or First Contact (Lower Decks)
Hello friend, allow me to introduce you to this project that has performed AI remasters for DS9 and is currently working on Voyager (halfway thru s1 I think)
Join their discord, and go to the #instructions channel, there is an ftp server for all completed episodes; you don’t need to run the workflows on the source eps yourself
Enjoy old trek in a more clear and vibrant experience :)

I've also never seen Star Wars, GOT, or any Marvel/DC movies. I kinda just exist inside my own little bubble. Honestly I don't even know what's popular anymore lol
Say what you will about Shatner, and a lot of it will be perfectly true and highly applicable, but there are plenty longstanding pro wrestlers who wouldn't have committed as much as he did to selling the fuck out of each one of those glacial smacks.
How do you manage to go through life without watching a single episode of Trek? It has numerous seasons and spinoffs, and it is constantly in syndication. Do you avoid broadcast TV in entirety?
My country just doesn't know Star Trek at all. We barely even know Star Wars. It's fascinating how different region per region can be in popular things.
