I’ve been wanting to get into Star Trek, but I’m not sure the best place to start. I’m sure there’s a wide range of opinions.

Some shows ‘get good after season 1’. I’m a little worried that I’ll end up picking a star trek show with a weak start and then dropping it before the parts people actually like. I vaguely remember reading these sort of comments about TNG.

    Huh, I absolutely hated season one of DS9. I nearly cried when I found out there were six more seasons to go after trudging through S1 (I was on a mission to watch all of Star Trek, having watched a patchwork of episodes–mostly STNG-as a kid). Then somewhere around S3? it started getting much better, and by the end of the series it was my favorite of the “classic” Star Trek series. But season one… I thought the plot, dialogue, and acting were all pretty bad. Maybe I need to go back and give it a rewatch and see if my opinion has changed at all.
