hey this was the first thing lucky jack aubrey did when he took command of the hms sophie

wasn't this because it let him pack more people onto the ship, by dint of freeing up more space below decks for people to sleep?

Roll over to Deep Space Nine, just be aware that DS9's first season aired at the same time as TNG season six.

Yeah do this too. Watch Trouble with Tribbles or you'll be a bit confused later on in DS9 I imagine.

I would go against other people in this thread and suggest you watch some of the shittier Treks first. That way you have DS9 to look forward to. It's first season goes down a lot better if you've just given up on Voyager after watching the dumb salamander regression sex episode for instance.

I would actually recommend taking a break so you don't burn out, because those first seasons can be harsh to watch after coming off the final seasons of TNG. Watch the pilot episodes for DS9 and VOY and watch the one that grabs you better. This thread loves to bag on Voyager, but it's good viewing if you don't watch too closely.

Janeway is getting high and asking a salamander for help. Voyager is very cool.

My head canon is that Chakotay is loving with anyone who asks him anything about his culture.

DS9's first couple of seasons are really not any worse than TNG's last couple of seasons.

Ignore anyone saying to watch Voyager first that's weird on so many levels. Watch some original series then DS9. Maybe watch some of the original series films after you finish season one of TOS.

That said, Kinsey was really fun to hate, and the writers knew it :allears:.

Also worth noting, I saw his early episodes recently and every facial expression the man used was identical to trump. it was horrifying

I respectfully disagree. The first few episodes are so boring. That first season is why do many people I know never see the greatness of the rest. But that's just my opinion and it probably is not in line with most people here.

Do you want TNG-lite that is often frustrating close to being good, or SPACE MURCA for all the problems that implies?

I haven't watched any Voyager yet and not sure I will. Otoh I'm kind of in the weeds with Enterprise s3. That post-9/11 grimness doesn't fit trek Imo

Voyager has all the trappings and feel of TNG and DS9 even if the writing is way worse. I'll take the comfort of familiarity every time.

Mrs Splicer was struggling hard with season 1, only Odo and Quark and the promise of more Garak pulled her through. And the occasionally scene where Sisko lets people know he's onto their shenanigans.
