From Broken Bow to Star Trek Nemesis

I used Memory Alpha for the broadcast dates, if anyone's interested. The site shows in which order stories were released under each episode summary.

Here is a chronological list based on stardates:

Wow, this is a great resource, thanks for posting it!

I think what I'm going to try and do is watch just the episodes that fall before the movie's main plot timeline and ones I'm guessing would relate to the movie. So that would be all the Enterprise episodes, The Cage, Unification Parts I and II, and Nemesis.

Can anyone think of any others?

I'll keep you all posted on my progress each week. I will be including the Animated Series BTW. I do consider it the unofficial Season 4 of TOS.

Actually, since TAS ran for two seasons, couldn't it be considered TOS Season 4 and 5, even though the second season was short?

 

[Augustus]

I don't know much about the animated series, do any of the real actors do the voices?

Shatner, Nimoy, Kelley, Doohan, Nichols, Barrett and Takei all reprised their OS characters. Barrett and Doohan additionally did many new or non-recurring character voices.

And although Walter Koenig didn't voice on the show, he did write one episode.

Oh well done, that man! I'll bookmark and print that out, if it's okay with you.

Happy new year everyone! Anyone here planning to have a marathon of all Trek till midnight on May 8th? I don't ever think I've been more excited for a movie, even more so than the Star Wars prequels. I hope that Abrams can pull a rabbit out of his hat, and deliver the best movie of the year, and usher a new era of Trek dominance in scifi! I might even throw in a little Elite Force, and Bridge Commander marathons for PC in there as well!

lol, great idea, might follow your idea there

 

[Temis the Vorta]

All Trek? Wow. It's probably too late to get 'er done by May 8. Should have started a year or two ago.

Anyone bold enough to try, start a thread in GEN TREK. It would be fun to follow along...

Or we could help out with a list of Essential Star Trek so you don't have to kill yourself watching four hours a day.

Oh I have to bookmark that! I love that they have the VOY and DS9 episodes in the proper order. Someday, I'm gonna do a mixed VOY-DS9 marathon according to stardate...

Incredible how the apex of TNG, DS9 and VOY all happened around the same time: First Contact to Call to Arms to Scorpion to Sacrifice of Angels to Year of Hell.

Cool list the only thing I dont agree with on it is I think the ENT episode "These are the Voyages" should be watched right before the TNG episode "Pegasus" and not hundreds of episodes before it since the episode takes place on the ENT-D and ENT-D Holodeck.

I agree 100%!

Yeah, Trek really had it going in those days. What on earth happend? Within 18 months of all that it just fell apart.

 

[Kryton]

It was called "Enterprise" and "Nemesis". They really killed it good.

 

[Dane_Whitman]

Yeah about that chronological list, I would also watch These Are The Voyages just after The Pegasus. There is one more entry I don't agree with, that is that he (the creator of that list, which is not me by the way) puts ST: First Contact way after In Purgatory's Shadow, in which Sisko mentions the "recent Borg attack" from FC. Despite the stardates not adding up I always watch FC before Rapture, to match DS9's introduction of the grey uniforms.

Two of the reasons are named in the title of this thread.

I think I'll skip STV though. I like to pretend that never happened.

Actually, "Star Trek V" gets better every time I see it -- Jerry Goldsmith's musical score alone is worth two hours. If I had to skip a Trek movie, it would be "The Motion Picture."

All the time travel episodes! If you watch them all in a day or two, your brain will probably explode...

I would be interested to hear your opinion after watching every Trek time-travel episode in a row. Would they make any sense as a coherent narrative universe, or would it seem more like a string of unrelated "Twilight Zone" episodes that happen to have the same characters?

I think what I'm going to try and do is watch just the episodes that fall before the movie's main plot timeline and ones I'm guessing would relate to the movie. So that would be all the Enterprise episodes, The Cage, Unification Parts I and II, and Nemesis.

Well, "The Cage" is not a real (canon) episode of "Star Trek" -- it is the pilot to a series that was never made. Footage from "The Cage" was re-edited and its ending was changed in the two-part episode "The Menagerie."

Also, if you are going to watch all "Enterprise" episodes, then you must first watch "Star Trek: First Contact."

I would watch "These Are the Voyages" either after "Pegasus" or during the second or third commercial break of "Pegasus" -- they overlap each other (they both start on Stardate 47457.1), but you should watch "Pegasus" first in order to understand the context. (Of all the 700 episodes to re-tell as the last-ever episode of "Star Trek," they chose "Pegasus"? That wasn't even the best episode of its season, let alone all the seasons of all the series.)

There were 704 episodes of Star Trek not including TAS which would bring up your total to 726. Assuming the average length of all episodes with commercials removed is 42 minutes that gives us 492 hours 48 minutes or 508 hours 12 minutes of non-stop TV Trek depending if you're only counting TEH CANON!

Counting the movies' total length of 1144 minutes that would add an additional 19 hours 4 minutes to give us a grand total of 511 hours 52 minutes (21 days, 3 hours, 52 minutes) to 527 hours 16 minutes (21 days, 23 hours, 16 minutes).

As of today, there are 125 days until opening day. You'd have to watch on average 4 hours, 5 minutes, 42 seconds per day to watch every Star Trek episode and movie.

Of course, that's not counting any special relating to the series. But good luck!

Thanks for doing all the math for us, I spend enough time on the Trek BBS that I have forgotten to watch any Trek for a few days. The thought of spending almost 22 entire days watching Trek does seem a bit daunting, if you have the time GO FOR IT...
