I want to have a place where fans can come to praise, discuss, and even criticise things in the Star Trek franchise. No show or movie is perfect, and I don't believe people should be silenced for having a dissenting opinion. That being said, there are still a few rules.

can I start watching ST with one of the newer shows, or is everything dependent on what came before? (crazypeople.online)

I tried starting from the beginning a few years back but the production value is a little too rough for me to ignore its flaws since I have no investment in or dedication to the show yet.

I'm wondering if I can watch lower decks or whatever the new live action show is and get into Star Trek that way.

great, thanks. as long as I'll be able to follow what's going on, I'll probably start with lower decks since that appeals to me, and then branch out from there.

I feel like I need to live in the modern ST world a bit first before stepping into the past

You'll miss a lot of the humor in lower decks without knowing more trek
