I have already seen everything Trek some more than once already. I always get a bit sad on the last few episodes of a series. I am going to miss the characters and seeing them continue to grow and interact with each other.

The same thing happened when I finished my rewatch of DS9. I think it hit my harder with DS9 since that those characters had such a good chemistry with each other.

Once I finish Voyagers I plan to start watching TNG right away. I havn't done a complete watch through of it for many years. I usually get the first 2 or 3 seasons before getting distracted. I have been looking forward to watching it again.

You were allowed to skip every Kazon episode except the one where they try to reverse engineer a replicator. (That might help on the next rewatch.)

Haha, I love how the Kazon are universally hated. I can stomach them, but I skip the Ireland episodes. God! They are bad.

What! Fairhaven is the best! Computer, delete the ~~wife~~ user! Just kidding. You're entitled to your opinion.

But yeh, I get the hurt of the end of a series.

As for TNG rewatches, at this point I just go back to a favorite episode and start from there; it's hard to sort good from bad in the early seasons.

I think I’ve watched the first two seasons enough to skip most of those episodes. Maybe I’ll just watch my favorite ones or the ones I don’t remember.

I’m totally watching the one where insects take over the star fleet admirals. 😂

[–] data1701d@startrek.website 3 points 1 week ago (2 children)

But are you tough enough to watch the clip show?

TNG: "Shades of Gray", the really low-budget, terrible finale of season 2 where Riker has a virus that ~~makes him relive memories~~ turns the show into a clipshow.

[–] neon_nova@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I decided to just start with season 3. Season 1 and 2 are pretty tough.

[–] SteleTrovilo 2 points 1 week ago (2 children)

There are great episodes in the first two seasons. You have to search for them though. (Please don't miss Measure of a Man)

[–] eryops@dice.camp 1 points 1 week ago

@SteleTrovilo @neon_nova "We look for things that make us go" Go to season 3 EP 1 amirite?

[–] neon_nova@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 week ago

I’ve seen tng a few times before. I’m just watching it again.

[–] Corgana@startrek.website 1 points 1 week ago

The only episode I ever actually skip. Although the "A" plot isn't terrible!

[–] Penguincoder 1 points 1 week ago

I enjoy the Fairhaven episodes, but not the ones where Janeway has a romantic interest there.

[–] FoD@startrek.website 5 points 1 week ago

I agree the end of a series can feel a little draining as the stories conclude. I get that way with books too.

Lots of rewatches of the trek series, and I do skip ones that are boring to me, sometimes I just follow main story arc with ent and voy, but there are some really good bottle episodes that I miss that way.

If it feels like work to watch an episode, then I skip it. Sometimes it's the topic, or my mood, or life.

Enjoy tng again!

[–] Rubanski@lemm.ee 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I usually skip all historical holodeck episodes in VOY, besides the WW2 ones

Meanwhile I'm over here still hoping for a Captain Proton spinoff to be announced...
