▲ 35 ▼ What are the best single episodes to show people new to Trek? (lemmy.dbzer0.com) submitted 1 year ago by neon_nova@lemmy.dbzer0.com to c/startrek@startrek.website 57 comments fedilink hide all child comments My brother said that he will watch an episode of Trek with me when I visit my family in October. I am wonder what the best single episode to show him is. He has not seen anything Trek before. I am thinking something that is newer, but not necessarily. Anyway, what do you think would be good?

It's very much intended as an entry point into Star Trek for those unexposed to Star Trek. permalink fedilink source hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] data1701d@startrek.website 2 points 1 year ago I kind of feel like Prodigy struggles the first half of the first season… as a Prodigy lover, I’ll say it certainly gets there, but even then, let’s say it wasn’t until season 2 that Jankom Pog no longer made me want to find out what Tellarite carnitas taste like… permalink fedilink source parent [–] rogermccoy@startrek.website 1 point 1 year ago I love Prodigy, but I've seen people struggle to get past the first episode.
