you crushed this reaction - nicely done! 🖖

I certainly hope you venture into the original movies. They are worth watching and you don't really need to watch any of the original episodes for them (Space Seed is one that you will get recommended a lot before watching Star Trek II: The Wrath Of Khan). If you do venture into the four "Next Generation" movies, it is highly recommended watching a few of the TNG episodes prior to the movies. Also, if you loved the music in this movie, you'll love James Horner's score in Star Trek II: The Wrath Of Khan.

OLD TREK:)

I was trying to come up with a "Top Five" that were not only great episodes but were known for progressing the overall character development and revealing Roddenbury's worldbuilding. Balance of Terror shows Kirk's mastery of being a starship captain and provides a large amount of information about the Star Trek Universe. The Trouble With Tribbles introduces the Klingons nicely and provides a little comic relief after the seriousness of Balance of Terror City On the Edge of Forever delves into the relationships between the characters, and provides an amazing ending Space Seed introduces the character of Khan and gives needed backstory to the films Amok TIme gives a glimpse into Vulcans and again shows the relationships between the characters nicely I love The Doomsday Machine, and it does introduce Captain William Decker's father (from Star Trek I), and explains a little about the history between him and Kirk, but most people don't even catch that connection. There are nice nuances there about how starships and Starfleet itself are run as well. I'd probably put this one at #6 in a Top Ten. 6. The Doomsday Machine 7. The Menagerie 8. Mirror, Mirror 9. Where No Man Has Gone Before 10. The Naked Time

I would love to see a combination reaction to TOS "Balance of Terror" and Strange New Worlds, "A Quality of Mercy" Season 1, Episode 10.

I agree, but would add "The Doomsday Machine" to your list. It's my favorite episode by far, written by the great SF author Norman Spinrad and dramatic/exciting from beginning to end.

OLD TREK!! Every time you said "I need to know more about that", you were asking about something that was a callback to the original series. Even the cool "space sounds" at the beginning. That is why we wanted you to start with a small sample there, so you could appreciate this film more. I've been a Star Trek fan my entire 51 year life. I really enjoy these reboots, but there is so much there that has virtually no meaning and becomes background scenery if you don't have any knowledge of the originals. You're cheating yourself of the experience. Also, keep in mind that these films were made to be a high-speed thrill ride, while the originals were more cerebral. A lot of original Trek fans dismiss these films for just that reason. You don't need to watch the entire series, as it's episodic. There was no overarching storyline from one episode to the next that you had to follow. Characters became more clear and defined, but it was a new adventure every week. I'd recommend a few episodes, then watching Star Trek 1-2-3. I know some don't like the first Trek film as there are a lot of long shots that extend it out about 30 minutes longer than it needs to be, but it's a beautiful movie and does bridge the gap nicely between the series and Star Trek II, which is absolutely the best Trek movie ever made. I'd recommend the following episodes: 1. "Balance of Terror" - Season 1, Episode 14 2. "The Trouble With Tribbles" - Season 2, Episode 15 3. "City On the Edge of Forever" - Season 1, Episode 28 4. "Space Seed" - Season 1, Episode 22 5. "Amok Time" - Season 2, Episode 1 Reactions on those would be amazing, as they're among the most highly-regarded in the entire series. After that, go back and watch the next film in the Kelvin timeline.

Good recommendation

"A friendship that will define you both" OG Spock would know all about that,encouraging you Jen to watch any three episodes of the original series,sort of a Star Trek orientation plus Kirk is brash,cocky quite dashing & Spock is very intriguing,proof that intelligence is sexy♡ OLD TREK!!!

Celeste McAllister

Before you continue on with the Kelvin timeline (that’s what the new movies are called), you really should see the original Star Trek movies 2-4. The next movie won’t have nearly the impact if you don’t watch Star Trek 2: the wrath of Khan, which incidentally is considered the best of all the Star Trek movies

This has been added! Thank you 👍

I suggest including the part where Pike tells Kirk about his dad. It's prob the most important scene in the film.

I grew up with The Next Generation TV series, though never got into any of the others. I really enjoyed this when it came out - a good reboot, honouring the campy bits of the original TV series (as I'd heard of them anyway) with a good cast, great effects and a really enjoyable execution! Where to go from here is a hard one - it's worth exploring the originals a bit (Star Trek II: Wrath of Khan is an all time classic, but whether or not you could dive straight into that I will leave for others to debate!), and Star Trek: First Contact is probably the best of all the films IMHO though it features a completely different crew; that being said, Patrick Stewart's Captain Picard is arguably the best Trek hero of all (though again, whether you could dive straight in is a debatable topic!). The sequel to this, Into Darkness, is also worth watching - but you should watch Wrath of Khan first... For reasons I won't go into 😬

These newer films are fun. As an old school Star Trek fan just start with Star Trek II from 1982 It's good enough and written well enough to start as the beginning of the old school movies. That's my opinion.
