Have you seen all of it?

I've seen all the broadcast series, and all the movies, and all the "new stuff" that's been released on DVD.
I've seen "The Cage," and I've seen the broadcast version, but not the pilot version, of "Where No Man Has Gone Before," but the differences, other than the open and close music, are relatively trivial.
I have the remastered TOS DVD set (the only Blu Ray machine in the house is a first generation unit that takes forever just to power itself up, and forever to mount a BD, so I don't have the BD, and therefore don't have the pilot version of WNM), but so far, I've mostly only seen the episodes for which I was curious about the new SFX. And thanks to the magic of strip syndication, I'm pretty sure I recall seeing both the "corn whiskey" (US) and "gin" (rest of the world) versions of "Spectre of the Gun."
And I've read every ST novel that was not marketed as children's literature, and at least one (Mission to Horatius) that was. But I haven't read a lot of the comics.

Speaking as a person who answered 'no', I'm surprised that that 'nos' have the majority.
Not interested in Discovery, still need to watch Picard S2, won't be paying for any more streaming services so guess I'll be missing out on Prodigy and SNW (and probably the rest of LD whenever CBS decide to take it away from AmazonPrime).
I guess it depends when you start watching Trek. I started in the mid 70s with TAS and reruns of TOS, so it was pretty easy to keep up the new series as they came out, but someone starting the journey pretty recently (within the last 10-15 years or so), it would be like trying to drink from a firehose.
Was just thinking this. I started with TOS repeats on Saturday mornings and on laserdisc when I was 9 or so. That's over 30 years. Mind you, I did a hell of a lot of catching up this year. But still, I wasn't behind on anything before 2010, except TAS.
Short answer: No. Nor am I sure if I want to.
Long answer: I've seen all of TOS, though I don't revisit the third season very much.
I've seen all of TAS, but I don't rewatch it very much.
I've seen all of the movies at least once, although I don't think I've watched INS or NEM all the way through since their original releases.
I've seen all of TNG, and still watch the occasional episode on #AllStarTrek on H&I.
I've seen all of DS9, and I really enjoy watching it in reruns on H&I.
I've seen... maybe 75% of VOY? I originally gave up on it early in the third season when I realized I was watching a show I disliked mainly because it had the words "Star Trek" in the title. I've since caught up on a fair amount of the episodes I skipped back then thanks to H&I, and it improved after I left. Or it's grown on me over time. Or both. Whichever, I like it better bow.
Likewise with ENT, I dipped in and out. I haven't seen most of the third season, but I came back for the fourth when it became more of a TOS prequel. I own the fourth season on DVD, but I never really get the urge to watch it. And it's not on until midnight on H&I, so I don't catch it much at all.
DSC, I've seen the first season & most of second before I lost interest. I watched most of the Short Treks a few months ago. I don't know if I'm going to bother going back, since it's rather removed from the rest of Trek at this point.
PIC, I've seen the first season. As with DSC, I liked it for the most part, but I thought they totally flubbed the ending. I'll watch the second season when I get Paramount+ again & see if it's improved.
SNW, so far I've only seen the pilot when it was up on YouTube, and I really liked it. I'm going to sign up for the sample week of Paramount+ when the first season finishes up and marathon the rest.
I haven't seen any of Lower Decks or Prodigy yet, but I'll try to sample them when I get P+. I have a feeling that LD will be up my alley, at least.

I'd seen (and purchased) all of it until Lower Decks, which I've tried and tried to watch but eventually admitted defeat after episode six or seven. I know it's popular, but to me it's just the very worst sort of garbage.
I've also only seen the first two episodes of Prodigy and although it's O.K. it's not exactly dragging me back to watch.
I'll give it a go at some point.

I've seen everything except that which has not yet aired.
I'm not. It's why I posted the thread. I have to imagine that the people who have seen everything currently available are growing smaller in number than those who haven't, even among fans. The longevity, the diversity of style, look, format, platform, intent. It's gotten hard for me to even believe that all of it, in all its variation, could actually appeal to a single viewer, at this point. I've come to think that the only reason anyone would want to see all of it, is because they've made that a goal for themselves, & they choose that because they truly already identify as a fan, who is willing to go with it wherever the winds of time take it... a do or die fan.
I'm a fan of Farscape, Firefly, Dark Matter, Killjoys, Red Dwarf, Hyperdrive, Babylon 5, Doctor Who, Stargate, Futurama, Cowboy Bebop, Outlaw Star, The Orville, Star Wars, The Expanse, Battlestar Galactica, Lexx, Andromeda... well okay maybe not Andromeda. Give me a crew of people having adventures in a spaceship or spacestation or space in general and I'm usually interested, and I assume a lot of people here are the same. So I think it would be weirder if the Star Trek series didn't all appeal to me. Though I do struggle with some of them sometimes, for various reasons.
Oh I totally get that, & I'm sure you're not alone, but I get the feeling lately that it's the anomaly. Old 60's sci-fi like TOS, Lost In Space, etc... or even old 80s/90s sci-fi like TNG, Babylon 5, etc... are just so very different than what's happening now, that I find it hard to think it's all universally appealing. I mean the whole reason why a franchise puts a new spin on something like Daniel Craig's Bond, is because Sean Connery's Bond is antiquated. I mean people might still like it, but are they equally as appealing to both audiences? Probably not as much?
I dunno. When I first really got into Trek I did it in the early 00s and as you said above, watching Trek from TOS-ENT in order was something I had to make quite a lengthy effort to do. Just shy of five years.
In the 00s I saw 1960s/80s/90s shows and they looked like what they were but I was invested enough in the concept to look past it. It kind of makes it less monolithic when it’s broken up into spin-off series from different decades and to a greater or lesser degree each show stands apart due to the time they were made in.
The thing about TOS or the Berman shows is they may look of their time, but they were the best looking thing of their time as far as production quality goes. No science fiction show Pre-Streaming Trek looked as good as it’s Trek contemporaries.
Babylon 5 is a good example. It looks like a typical 90s science fiction show. Put it alongside DS9 and you can feel a lot more money went into the latter.
I think TV shows are different now, but if someone comes to Star Trek through say DSC or SNW and likes the core values of those shows then they may be able to find something to love in the older shows.
I can agree with that... but just looking at it statistically, what are the odds any given viewer now would invest the effort into doing so? It's a hefty commitment
No, and I never will at this point. Some of it I just have no interest in.

I caught TOS on repeats, had a long wait for the BBC to get TNG and hoovered up everything including the less stellar Voyager and Enterprise. And loads of novels.
It was another long wait for Disco and the other new shows, and I watched again with enthusiasm, at least until I hit a bump with Lower Decks.
Apart from that, I'll watch everything. And Strange New Worlds is making that easy.
Only the original series. The rest, meh. I know TNG is popular with most, but, I couldn’t really get in to it. It wasn’t awful, just didn’t interest me. The original will always be my heart.
