Alright, your propaganda here over the past months has worked. I want to get into Star Trek. Where do I start? Can I take an abbreviated tour? Or do I need to go to TOS?

I have long held that Season 5, Episode 2 of The Next Generation is the best episode to “test” if you’ll like Star Trek or not. It is a generally well-liked and well-reviewed episode, but more than that, from both a story and a character standpoint it is representative of what your average Star Trek episode is generally about.
So, my recommendation is to watch that one episode and report back.
Sorry I have to disagree. I think it’s too far off the beaten path.
Ooooh! I really like that idea! Several people that I know started to watch TNG and just couldn’t get into it. And I feel like part of it is the wacky crustiness of the first few episodes of the first season. So, I second this idea of diving right into the core of the show!
