We’re trying to rewatch Invasion now that it’s concluded (or cancelled). First season is heavy going, lots of parallel plots that only slowly intertwine if at all, and not necessarily so much happening in every episode.
Next will be a For all mankind rewatch to be fully prepped for the upcoming season 5. Let’s see if we can time it so we can binge the new episodes without a week’s wait in between…
If there’s no new Trek, that means watching old Trek, right?
Trying to finish my full in-universe chronological franchise re-watch for the 60th anniversary, which means an average of maybe 75 minutes of watching Trek per day through September 8 if I want to get it to line up. I started back in April 2024, but there’s a lot of Trek out there, and I’m already falling behind. (Ideally it would’ve been 58 minutes per day. This includes watching some episodes multiple times if they take place in multiple time periods.)
For what it’s worth, we’ll arguably get some new Trek soon whenever the “season finale” of Scouts comes out. 😂 Only one episode left if they don’t get renewed.
Wow, “full in-universe chronological franchise re-watch”? I’d need a spreadsheet for that, and at that point it’d feel like work more than pleasure 😆 So do time travel episodes like “Time’s arrow” and “Past tense” enter first according to year, then I guess The voyage home, First contact and all of Enterprise?
Second for the spreadsheet!
Basically. I have a spreadsheet with 1,300 watch items. Here are the first 10:
All Our Yesterdays The Inner Light Time’s Arrow Time’s Arrow, Part II The City on the Edge of Forever Storm Front Storm Front, Part II Little Green Men Far Beyond the Stars Carbon Creek
It’s been a lot of research and adjusting as I go along. Plus a lot of semi-arbitrary choices between Memory Alpha order, Star Trek Chronology order, etc.
