A few years back I decided - since everything is available to stream on Netflix, to just watch/rewatch the whole damn thing using the Star Trek Chronology order.
Prior to that time I had seen a lot of TOS and some of TAS as a child in reruns. I had watched all of TNG and most of DS9 during its original run, though when I went away to college in 1997 I began watching a lot less TV and missed enough DS9 episodes I had no idea what the hell was going on when I caught one. I thought Voyager was stupid and my friends and I made fun of it. Hadn't seen any of ENT past Broken Bow when it was out. Later on I had watched all of DS9 on Netflix back when it was still a DVD rental service, which cemented my feeling it's the strongest show.
A rewatch of all of Trek took me around two years. I'd try and put in at least two episodes a night, but life intervenes, and frankly so much of Voyager bored me to tears I took a break and started watching Babylon 5 instead. Still, I managed to get through everything. Now I know what I never, ever need to rewatch again.
