          I think they were joking. Do NOT watch Lower Decks until you’ve watched a lot of other Star Trek because it’s got endless references to other shows, especially their plot holes, and you won’t get any of it.

            I’ve seen all of TOS, all of DS9, and all of TNG 2 or 3 times, plus all of the movies at least once. Oh, and 5 episodes of SNW, all of Picard, and 3/4 of the first season of Voyager. Amazingly that still leaves a lot of ground to cover.

      I think the next logical choice after those is Voyager whether it’s better or not, because it revisits ideas and characters from those two shows. I personally put TOS above them all, but that’s the Star Trek closest to my heart since it’s the one I was watching from about 2 years old on.
