Come to Quark’s, Quark’s is Fun!

General off-topic chat for the crew of startrek.website. Trek-adjacent discussions, other sci-fi television, navigating the Fediverse, server meta (within reason), selling expired cases of Yamok sauce, it’s all fair game.

I’m always stunned to hear from Star Trek fans who haven’t tried any of the animated shows. They may not be to everyone’s taste - but…not to even give them a try?

I understand that there’s a real bias among some against animation as a media form, but even TAS rose above the norms for American Saturday morning cartoons to get the franchise’s only series Emmy.

Anyhow, I keep finding myself encouraging fans to at least give each of the three animated series a run through. Even the two intended for younger audiences - TAS and Prodigy - are really designed to appeal to all ages.

Especially now, with Star Trek Prodigy needing to find a new home, it’s all the more important to give them the support of views. #SaveStarTrekProdigy!

I started with DISCO, then PIC, then SNW. I don't think there's any particular reason I haven't watched TAS, Lower Decks or Prodigy🤔

Well, whatever the reason, that means you’ve got a lot of yet to be seen Trek content to enjoy.

I’d recommend working through TAS’ 22 short episodes first. Lower Decks makes a lot of callbacks to TAS and even Prodigy has a few.

Thank you I will!
