▲ 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?

Could it be too difficult for someone with 0 trek knowledge to get? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Hugin@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago I think the important bits are easy to pickup in context. There is a war and it's not going well. Sisko is trying to bring a powerful neutral party into the war and is willing to do very questionable things to do it. As a Star Trek fan I had given up on DS9 during the original airing of the first season. Latter I caught Pale Moonlight by chance and it impressed me enough to watch some more. Then I went back and watched all the earlier stuff. Now it's my favorite Star Trek. When I first saw it I knew Star Trek quit well but had no idea what was going on in DS9 and had no trouble following the story. permalink fedilink source parent
