What’s the most cursed viewing order for a first time viewing? Not worst to best but the most confusing

1. Voyager
2. TOS
3. Discovery
4. Enterprise
5. Picard
6. DS9
7. TNG
8. SNW

I think Picard would be the worst and most confusing place for a new viewer to start.

Picard then TNG
Prodigy then Voyager
Discovery and Section 31 then DS9
JJ movies then TOS/SNW

Lower Decks is just like of there.

Lower Decks is so referential that it's either the worst place or the best place to start

my wife had watched TNG here and there but never all the way through, i had her watch DS9 and then voyager and then TNG, which was definitely a weird order. in the meantime nutrek started coming out so we watched disco/picard/snw/ld as it was airing, which was probably a mistake on multiple levels. she didn't know who ensign ro was when she showed up in Picard, except that she was the admiral on the pegasus

when we rewatched LD after finishing TNG she got a lot more of the jokes

So, I've got a "Tsunkatse" question. This may have been explained but I guess I missed it: Were they only broadcasting the fight with Seven from another location to avoid her being rescued by Voyager? Because they say Pendari fighters had a habit of throwing their opponents into the stands, which doesn't seem like it would be particularly impressive or even possible if it's just a hologram.

It's like some sort of ancient puzzle.

If you place Combs on one scale, and a Rock on the other, how do the scales balance?

Your mistake was to ask a question about verisimilitude in a Star Trek episode. Of course some stuff is going to make no sense at all if you think about it for a moment, but you gotta watch the show with at least a couple of sections of your brain turned off. Otherwise you'll start asking questions like "why the hell would they let Neelix on board" or "where does Porthos go to pee when there's no sacred alien tree nearby" or "why exactly did McCoy consent to be implanted with a mind-control chip on a backwards-rear end theocratic generation ship" (I mean, I know it's because he's a horny old man, but still, Starfleet principles and all that)

I mostly thought it was funny that they were pitching this badass alien "throw 'em into the stands" style gladiator combat, and then they're grunting away in a box somewhere. A line about it being special circumstances because they'd abducted Seven would have been nice, and I was sort of wondering if I'd missed one.

I have watched a lot of 90s Star Trek and Body Parts has the wildest B-plot premise by a long shot.
