What would Trekkies say are essential things about it that I need to know?
I’d say you’re well on your way. Familiarity with TOS and TNG is the baseline for the franchise.
Thank you! I shall continue getting into it through both. Star Trek was always this mysterious and foreign thing for me but since looking into it again recently it started to click for me just how much I think I could potentially end up really liking it.
Star Trek is great. While I am a Warsian first and foremost, I am also major fan of Trek.
My recommends are:
Star Trek Voyager
Star Trek Next Generation
Star Trek II: Wrath of Khan
Star Trek III: The Search For Spock
Star Trek IV: The Journey Home
Star Trek Brave New Worlds
