I learned quite a bit from the question   I watched the first 3 episodes of TOS on netflix but just couldn't get into it.  Does TOS get better or is it likely that I wouldn't enjoy the rest of the series?  I enjoyed the 2009 movie quite a bit though.  I've been thinking about giving TNG a try.  However I don't have too much time to devote to these things.  I've also heard good things about The Wrath of Khan though as well.  My main questions:   Would I be confused or be missing quite a bit if I watched The Wrath of Khan first? Does it even make sense to start with The Wrath of Khan given that I didn't enjoy the first few episodes of TOS? Would I be lost if I started watching TNG after that?

I don't know anything about Star Trek except for the fact that it's about spaceships.  In  the person only wanted to watch the TV series. I want to watch every movie and TV series there is about Star Trek but I don't know where to start. I found this page on  which is about a time line. Do I need to watch it in this order? Are the movies and TV series related?

I remember very little but enough... I know that there were 3 worlds, a real one, a mid-world kind of with a teleporter, and the world with all the creatures. The first episode was in the desert and there was a good monster that saved the main guys from a bad one. Before he saved them he said every end is a beginning and every beginning is an end.   Please help me; I've tried everything. I saw it on , I think it was not Japanese. I live in Croatia, so I saw it there. It was aimed at kids, but not younger kids. The main characters were human, around 15 years old. The teleporter was in the middle of a big structure. It was a 6 piece tp, so every circle was one, and it was shaped like a star. There were robots working there; they carried food and other things.  I remember that all the creatures thought that the humans are evil, all but the one, the "lord" of all of them. And yes, the main character got to the world by some sort of a device that he found and it belonged to another kid who lost it and they were able to transform in the creatures from the world by it. When they are in the "other world", their body stays in the real world and acts normally but their soul gets transported to the mid-world

I am just rewatching Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.  I was wondering whether the producers planned the Dominion plot, and especially that the Founders are changelings, from the beginning.   In the first episodes it was established that Odo was the only (known) one of his kind. It is only natural to explore his origin within the series. Was this meant to be the Founders/Dominion plot from the beginning?

I've just started finally reading this series and have the first two TPBs. I'm thoroughly hooked and I see there is a ton of of various GFT titles that have been done and also currently going. I have no idea how to proceed collecting and reading this series and am worried that I'll buy something I won't understand because I didn't read some previous thing.  I haven't been able to find any kind of reading list for the series. Can I just keep collecting the main series and it will tell me what side stuff to read next? I'm overwhelmed by it all.

Watching Star Trek made me think of a few "deeper" questions about Starfleet, which are all related to the Star Trek TV series.  So, let's take for example the Dominion War: people are dying every second, ships get destroyed and cadets are still joining although they know they are probably going to die unless they are with Picard or Sisko.  As I read and got to understand, money has no value anymore, latinum is the general trading currency in the universe. But people on Earth don't trade and don't earn their paychecks. Earth is a much better place than today and yet young boys and girls from every culture/civilization are joining Starfleet as they are willingly signing their death note.  Why are they joining, what motivates them? They might know that they're probably going to die.  They don’t earn paychecks. They could be doing any other job, yet they choose this. And what's more interesting how many died on battlefields must be lined up in front of StarFleet every day?  What do they receive after service? Why are they doing it other than preserving their homes?

Through the years I have purchased a few Star Trek scripts. I even have a DS9 script a buddy of mine mistakenly took off set and dazzled me with at Christmas years ago. As neat as those are to own, they are impossible to search. Is there a place on the internet where the Star Trek show or movie scripts can be obtained in digital format?  (Sometimes I remember a quote and would love to find it. From time to time the internet delivers. Occasionally it does not. I want to have a resource to find quotes as I think of them.)

I've just read this on the :     The main setting for the films Star   Trek: First Contact (1996), Star Trek:   Insurrection (1998), and Star Trek   Nemesis (2002).[6] According to   Star Trek: Countdown (2009), Data   assumed command of the Enterprise   after Captain Picard retired from   Starfleet to become the Ambassador to   Vulcan.   (emphasis added by me)  I haven't read Star Trek: Countdown, but looking at  I read this:     The comic came about because Anthony   Pascale, editor of TrekMovie.com, kept   requesting to the film's co-writer   Roberto Orci a way of having The Next   Generation characters "pass the baton"   back to the originals. When asked   whether the filmmakers' involvement in   the comic made it canonical, Orci   stated he was in no position to   declare whether it was, though he felt   it could easily remain as such unless   it was contradicted in a future   film.   (emphasis added by me)  How could that ever be canon if Data sacrifices himself during  while saving Picard, still captain of the Enterprise?     Data arrives with a single use personal transporter and has the captain beamed back to the Enterprise before ultimately sacrificing himself to shut down the weapon and destroy the ship.   Am I missing something? Was Data revived? Was Star Trek: Nemesis un-canonized? Was Data of Star Trek: Countdown really B4?

How does Picard, or anyone for that matter, decide at what warp speed to travel?  Obviously there are times when they need to get somewhere in a hurry and he says, warp 9 or maximum warp, but the rest of the time he just seems to pick a number at random. He rolls a warp 6.5 Is there some guide as to recommended speeds that he's following? Is there a speed that is the most efficient?

Simple question - What is the address they dial to connect with the Ancient ship Destiny in Stargate Universe from Icarus base.  I have found the address on  - however they have an unconfirmed order, and not sure of the validity of this.  Any help deciphering the above would be great!

According to the , there are 13 One Piece movies.  As a new viewer to the series (haven't watched the anime at all), is watching all the movies enough to understand the storyline, or are there some specific movies that can be enjoyed without knowing the One Piece universe?

For one reason or another I managed to totally miss playing any of the Half-life series. I have the time and money now to play these games that I have heard such great things about. So what are all the Half-life games that I should play? and what order should I play them in?  I am confused of where the episodes and expansions all fit in. And what they mean by "Source" versions. Are these even part of the same series? And what about Blue Shift, Lost Coast, or Opposing Force? So many games, and I don't know where or if they fit.  Are there any in the series that I should skip, or just read the plot summary for? Can someone please give me a run-down of what I should play, in order.

For both the original Naruto series and Shippuuden, which episodes should I watch if I want to avoid the filler? I'm only interested in core plot and character developments.  To make this question a bit more concrete: Which episodes are directly based off the manga, and which were produced with unique content for only the anime? At what points did the anime "catch up" to the manga and require non-manga-related content to continue airing episodes while the manga produced new content?

In the 2009 Star Trek movie, why was the new timeline considered acceptable?  In episodes of TOS and the movies, the crew would always go to great lengths not to alter the timeline and to restore any changed timeline to the original.  In the movie Spock seems to have no issue with the altered timeline and simply shows interest in the differences. Is that out of character? Why did he not do everything in his power to undo the damage done by Nero?

There seem to be a ridiculous number of Gundam series, spinoffs and movies. There also seems to be a lot of timelines, parallel universes which has confused me more.  I've tried looking this up before, but there's a large variety of differing answers depending on people's opinions.   As an anime fan, I think I should at least try it out. It might also help for understanding a lot of reference jokes in other series.  Where does one start with all these? Can you watch the series as standalones or should I start watching in a particular order?

A friend and I are starting new characters.  which planet each class starts on, but we were wondering what happens after that.  Do the higher-level planets continue to cater to the same pairs of classes? Is there a point where all four classes meet up, or the classes swap which planets they have quests on?  Which planets have story quests for which classes?

With the (relatively) recent release of the third game and the recommendation of a friend, I'd like to discover this universe.  I know there are several media; the books, the video games (though to be honest, I don't intend to play the first video game) and a TV series (also still unsure about that one), but I know almost nothing about how they intervene together storywise.  The books alone have me a little confused, given that the numbering of the edition I'm planning to buy (from the french editor Milady) doesn't seem to exactly match the original order of release:     Season of Storms (2013)   1. The Last Wish (1993)   2. Sword of Destiny (1992)   3. Blood of Elves (1994)   4. Time of Contempt (1995)   5. Baptism of Fire (1996)   6. The Swallow's Tower (1997)   7. Lady of the Lake (1999)   So, what is the best order, potentially mixing the various media, to discover the saga ?

Star Wars has different levels of canon and explanations for each level (movies, books, games and so on).  From what I've seen in Star Trek, there seems to be one level of canon: If it was on screen (other than the animated series), it's canon (although some people claim the 2009 movie and Star Trek: The Final Frontier don't really count).  If it's not on screen, it's not canon.  Is that it?  Or are there some games that are a second level of canon, or some books or other material considered to be a higher level than other media?  Or is there just one level of canon in Star Trek?
