    I’ve just skipped around episodes in Next Generation, DS9 and Voyager but I love most of it.

    Homefront and Paradise Lost might be some of the best television I’ve ever seen. The fact that those episodes came out before 9/11 might be the craziest piece of foreshadowing I’ve ever seen.

    Little green men was my favorite though.

      FYI DS9 isn’t really a “skip around” series. Plenty of long plot arcs as the series goes on.

        It’s really not but I’ve been watching on Pluto because that’s what I have access to

        It’s absolutely a slip around series :) the plots you’re probably referring to really only kick in the last half of the series.

          That’s what I meant by “as the series goes on.”

      The ferengi were a terrible idea done terribly… until DS9. They really find their stride

      Although I think they are best in the ep where quark sells weapons. Something about his cousin is peak Ferengi

        The rewrite of the Ferengi rules of accusation might also be my favorite episode 😂

      And In the Pale Moonlight. I hope you didn’t skip that one!

      Yeah, skipping around ST is reasonable. I skipped around Voyager a ton and still haven’t filled in the gaps TBH.
