I hope you don't mind me registering and immediately starting my own thread, but I have a question. First of all, like most Sci-Fi fans (and people in general, I imagine), I have had some exposure to Trek over the years; seen lots of TNG, DS9, Voyager and some of the movies and TOS, but it's only recently I felt like I should watch through the entire thing in chronological order, starting with Enterprise (which I'd not seen any of!) Now, I'm currently ploughing my way through Season 4 of Enterprise, and am reaching the point where I have a few problems. 1) I was recommended to watch 'In a Mirror Darkly Parts 1 & 2' after TOS 'Mirror Mirror' as this is the first contact with the Mirror Universe...? What's folks thoughts on that; good or bad idea? 2) Apparently the finale 'These Are the Voyages' is set in the middle of Season 7 of TNG, between 'The Pegasus' and 'Homeward' to be exact. Is this the correct placement? I'm aware that the episode is a holodeck reconstruction, hence its future placement, but why between these specific episodes? Since I'm approaching TOS, I plan on watching in the order given at this website: (as well as the order given for the first season of TNG for that matter) http://www.sci-fi-online.com/2006_Features/07-11-26_trekstardates.htm Is that a good idea? As far as I'm aware, there isn't really a perfect order to watch TOS in... My final question is the most complicated (or as the potential to be!)... When I reach the point that TNG, DS9 and later DS9 and Voyager begin running concurrently, is there a good way to watch this, other than one season at a time? I currently have this: TNG - S6 DSN - S1 TNG - S7 (1-12) ENT - S4E22 TNG- S7 (13-26) DSN - S2 movie 7 DSN - S3 VOY - S1 DSN - S4 VOY - S2 movie 8 DSN - S5 VOY - S3 DSN - S6 VOY - S4 movie - 9 DSN - S7 VOY - S5 VOY - S6 VOY - S7 But I'm a little concerned there are episodes within each season that are effectively crossovers that might have a specific place, that would not be chronological if I watched in this way! My only other option at the moment is to watch them in the order they were aired, but if my suspicions are correct about cross-over episodes, I doubt the networks would have aired them in a way that made sense, anyway! Any help with these matters would be greatly appreciated! I would also just like to add that so far I'm really enjoying my (what will no doubt turn out to be) five year mission.
You'll probably want to hold In a Mirror, Darkly I/II until after The Tholian Web from the third season of TOS.
Yeah, watch In A Mirror Darkly 1 and 2 after watching The Tholian Web and before Mirror, Mirror. These are the Voyages occurs as a historical reconstruction in the Ent Ds holodeck during The Pegasus.
I will watch after The Tholian Web, but this episode comes a considerable amount of time after Mirror, Mirror in all the orders I've seen, so I'm not sure how In a Mirror Darkly could come between them...? Right, well, after The Pegasus is fine then! I don't suppose there's a specific couple of scenes it takes place between that I could insert it?
The events in IAMD are directly related to events in The Tholian Web. Also, this ENT mirror universe story takes place in 2155. The TOS mirror universe story takes place in the 2260's. So, from the perspective of the Mirror universe timeline, the TOS MU story takes place 100 years after ENT's IAMD. Regarding IAMD happening between Mirror, Mirror and The Tholian Web, when TTW comes after MM, I don't want to give spoilers but the discrepancy is explained in IAMD. I hope I understood your question. If you're saying, "How can TTW affect the Mirror Universe first if Kirk and company first discovered the MU in its TOS setting before the events of TTW?" If so, then I stick with my above explanation that the episode will reveal how. Or I may have just confused you.
No, that's good - I was mainly worried you were suggesting that Mirror, Mirror should be watched after The Tholian Web, which would confuse things.
Oh, I just answered my fourth question by finding that Wikipedia lists the Stardates for each episode (which I think had been standardised by TNG/DS9/Voyager) so putting them in order should be fairly simple. Thanks for your help!
Its hard when you are considering two timelines in two realities and how to chronologically watch them. So, yes, watching Mirror, Mirror before The Tholian Web is the correct order regarding TOS episodes. However, The Tholian Web is far more relevant to what happens in ENT's In a Mirror Darkly. This confusion tends to happen when you make a prequel series 40 years after the original one aired. **edit** Oh and for These are the Voyages and The Pegasus the best answer as to when to watch within the TNG episode is before Riker decides to come clean to Picard and tell him everything.
IMO you should view each series as its very own in the chronological order they aired. (although it would take a helluva lot of time.) As you do that, examine if you are interested and if you liked them.
I'll give it a go, but I'll probably end up just watching it afterwards. I guess it won't affect the story. Captain Mike - I considered that, but my way seemed more fun (and I felt it would give Enterprise a fair chance, since most folk don't rate it too high). Also, I've seen enough Trek (except TOS) to know I enjoy it enough to get through it.
For anybody interested, here is the order I will be watching in: ENT1: Broken Bow, Part I ENT1: Broken Bow, Part II ENT1: Fight or Flight ENT1: Strange New World ENT1: Unexpected ENT1: Terra Nova ENT1: The Andorian Incident ENT1: Breaking the Ice ENT1: Civilization ENT1: Fortunate Son ENT1: Cold Front ENT1: Silent Enemy ENT1: Dear Doctor ENT1: Sleeping Dogs ENT1: Shadows of P'Jem ENT1: Shuttlepod One ENT1: Fusion ENT1: Rogue Planet ENT1: Acquisition ENT1: Oasis ENT1: Detained ENT1: Vox Sola ENT1: Fallen Hero ENT1: Desert Crossing ENT1: Two Days and Two Nights ENT1: Shockwave, Part I ENT2: Shockwave, Part II ENT2: Carbon Creek ENT2: Minefield ENT2: Dead Stop ENT2: A Night in Sickbay ENT2: Marauders ENT2: The Seventh ENT2: The Communicator ENT2: Singularity ENT2: Vanishing Point ENT2: Precious Cargo ENT2: The Catwalk ENT2: Dawn ENT2: Stigma ENT2: Cease Fire ENT2: Future Tense ENT2: Canamar ENT2: The Crossing ENT2: Judgment ENT2: Horizon ENT2: The Breach ENT2: Cogenitor ENT2: Regeneration ENT2: First Flight ENT2: Bounty ENT2: The Expanse ENT3: The Xindi ENT3: Anomaly ENT3: Extinction ENT3: Rajiin ENT3: Impulse ENT3: Exile ENT3: The Shipment ENT3: Twilight ENT3: North Star ENT3: Similitude ENT3: Carpenter Street ENT3: Chosen Realm ENT3: Proving Ground ENT3: Stratagem ENT3: Harbinger ENT3: Doctor's Orders ENT3: Hatchery ENT3: Azati Prime ENT3: Damage ENT3: The Forgotten ENT3: E² ENT3: The Council ENT3: Countdown ENT3: Zero Hour ENT4: Storm Front, Part I ENT4: Storm Front, Part II ENT4: Home ENT4: Borderland ENT4: Cold Station 12 ENT4: The Augments ENT4: The Forge ENT4: Awakening ENT4: Kir'Shara ENT4: Daedalus ENT4: Observer Effect ENT4: Babel One ENT4: United ENT4: The Aenar ENT4: Affliction ENT4: Divergence ENT4: Bound ENT4: Demons ENT4: Terra Prime TOSP: The Cage TOS1: Where No Man Has Gone Before TOS1: Mudd’s Women TOS1: The Corbomite Maneuver TOS1: The Man Trap TOS1: Charlie X TOS1: The Enemy Within TOS1: The Naked Time TOS1: Balance of Terror TOS1: The Squire of Gothos TOS1: What are Little Girls Made of?

That makes no sense at all, why would you seperate the two parts like that? Watch the DS9 episodes if you want to, although you're gaining nothing from it, but it's ridiculous to put two Voyager episodes right onto the middle of Year of Hell, where they don't take place. You're really overthinking your Watch Order. The shows work much better if you don't mix episodes left and right. Sometimes there are reasons to watch certain episodes before others, but seperating two parters like Year of Hell and watching a crappy episode like These are the Voyages during a good episode like The Pegasus? Believe me, These are the Voyages will not enhance The Pegasus, it's just a bad episode that doesn't relate to the story of the good episode at all, except for a flimsy "That's how Riker decided what to do" explanation, although his reasons are made perfectly clear in The Pegasus itself.
For the DS9/Voyager, I was going by Stardates - I'm led to believe there is some time gap between these episodes, despite them being two parters, or Part 1 spans the timeframe that Resurrection, Random Thoughts, Statistical Probabilities, Concerning Flight, The Magnificent Ferengi and Waltz take place. Either that, or the Stardates are wrong, which isn't impossible. I would rather watch the series slightly mixed, to be honest. It can get a little tedious watching one crew/ship/set of problems without a little difference.
I'm not sure of the origin, but that's the title given to the new Star Trek movie on multipack DVD I saw in the UK. I figured it was good enough to differenciate it. EDIT - Scratch that, it was an assumption - it turns out Evolutions is just a documentary film.
The stardates are not wrong, but for reasons I can't explain without spoiling the episode there are no Voyager episodes taking place during Year of Hell, just watch Part 2 right after Part 1. I actually agree that watching it slightly mixed is a good thing, but personally I like to watch 5 or 6 episodes of one show and then 5 or 6 from another. Star Trek doesn't have such a tight continuity that you have to watch everyting in strict chronological order. When I said you're overthinking it I actually meant the examples I gave, not making a list at all. If you see a two parter it's one story with no other episodes in between, it's really that simple, screw the stardates. It might also help to not take your list dead serious, if you're in the mood for DS9 watch DS9, even if your list says Voyager is next. If you follow your list strictly there is a big chance it will stop being fun and become a chore instead. Believe me, I tried doing something similar when I watched TOS in production order. When I started thinking "Oh no, I have to watch these two crappy episodes before I get to the good stuff ..." I knew I was in trouble. It took me some time to realize that switching my intended order around a little bit is not necessarily a bad thing.
I just had a thought. Is watching the movie "First Contact" before Enterprise's "In a Mirror Darkly" (heck, and even their Borg episode!) preferable since those two play so heavily (even lifting exact scenes!) in the Enterprise episodes? Just another monkey wrench to discuss.
Okay, I will take this point and watch Part 2 immediately after Part 1. Well, definitely. But, to be honest, I don't think it will be much of an issue for me; there's only a few episodes of Trek that I remember really liking, so am looking forward to getting to, but I don't remember their names, so it shouldn't affect me in the way that I will want to skip rubbish episodes ... because I have no idea they will be rubbish! There have been a couple of tedious episodes of Enterprise so far, but none bad enough to make me want to skip them! Luckily for me, it was one of the films I had seen before and remembered fairly well. Personally, I would recommend seeing it first, but only if you were watching Enterprise last. I think if you're going to try and go as strictly chronological as possible, you have to learn to wait for answers, or as is more the case, the questions to the answers you already have! For example, I'm not sure how much of the Borg episode would make sense or seem like a non sequitur to somebody not familiar with First Contact. I, for one, absolutely loved it! As I understand it, Season 4 of Enterprise is quite full of TOS references and tie-ins, and most have gone over my head, I'm sure. I'm aware of the smooth-headed Klingon fiasco and that Kahn is an Augment, and I quite liked that we see the bloke responsible for what will no doubt become Data ... but why they would make him look like him, I don't know... To be honest, I've found Season 4 a little slower than the others, and I didn't like the first two thirds of Season 3 as much as 1 and 2, either. This might be a result of the order I'm watching the series in (not getting the "OMG! So that's why blah, blah, blah..." moments) ... but it's only speculation.
