Star Trek: The Next Generation

To many, TNG is going to be the be-all and end-all of Star Trek. It’s not quite as old as the original show, so it’s slightly less “retro,” but it’s really where the franchise hones the idea of what it can and should be to what we know of it in the wider pop cultural context. This is the template for a huge chunk of Star Trek around it, arguably even more than the original series.
Start Here If…: You really like Patrick Stewart, and want some old-school Trek but might be hesitant to go all the way back to the original series.
