As a kid i loved watching the next generation and deep space 9 with my dad. Ive always liked sci fi, more of a (stargate fan) and wanted to get back into star trek, but Im just so lost on timelines and whats going on. There are like 6 kirks and I have no idea how/where to get started with watching this again.

I tried watching TNG a few times and holy shit it was so bad. There's no way I can slog through two seasons to get to the decent bits

It's episodic, just start with a banger.

@nutbiggums @Son_of_dad There's an episode in Season 2 "Q Who" that you should watch before plowing into Season 3 since it introduces the borg. Otherwise, you're not missing much, and if you really end up loving the series you can always go back and watch the first two seasons with rose colored glasses.
