you fuckers are all over my active feed and I'm laughing at shit I don't understand. I refuse to believe the show is this funny, but if, say, a friend wanted to prove me wrong, what incarnation of star trek would they tell me to start from? especially if they knew I hadn't seen a single episode.
I'll be the crazy one and say Star Trek Voyager. Lots of insane moments and more creative freedom in the Delta Quadrant. You don't have to learn decades of lore. Janeway is the craziest captain you will have with the exception of Marriner.
Voyager is the dark horse starting point for sure. Thrown out into the middle of fuckin nowhere, no previous lore to hold them down and they could just do all kinds of wacky shit..
Or Jellico could make a bid for that, he got rid of Picard's lionfish! Fuck that noise, that was worse than killing Tuvix. Picard season 4 should deal with that story arc. What Did Jellico Know and When Did He Know It? Where are the tapes, Mr. Jellico?
