    Actually, this is the point at which the kudzu takes over, while the people are still here.

    How would you avoid the coma once you get to The Motion Picture?

    A real diehard fan who has seen it all before could probably watch it at 10 times speed and still get everything (if necessary, with subtitling). That would make it around 2.5 days. Sounds doable.

    Remind yourself that it could be worse. You could be watching into darkness

    Does that count eating, sleeping, pooping and masturbating? :eek:

    I'd rather watch Into Darkness on a perpetual loop than much of what the franchise has tried to pass off as entertainment over the years. :techman:

    Well, TOS season 3 starts after nearly two days, so I'd say after about two days.

    Two of those things can be done while watching Star Trek. Trust me, I'm quite experienced on various methods of masturbation.

    ... ...

    I mean watching Star Trek. I'm very experienced in various methods of watching Star Trek. We're clear on that, right?

    Oh, whatever. My remote isn't that sticky anyway.

    Adding up the runtime of the Blu-ray boxset of TOS you get 4122mins
    ENT clocks in at 4227mins
    TNG at 8076mins

    Of course you can shave 4% of the running time if you use PAL rather than NTSC or BR.

    Okay more personal question to pad out this thread. What order do you watch in? Tos first or Enterprise first?

    I think first should come the Voyager episode "Death Wish" because they go back to the big bang, then the final two TNG episodes because the go back to pre-life Earth, then comes "All Our Yesterdays", "Carpenter Street" and the First Contact movie. Then you continue with Discovery because it's the newest, then Enterprise (but in reverse order!), then Voyager, DS9, TNG, TOS and then TAS because you have to end it on a high/low note.

    I like how you hedge your bets with TAS.
    Also are you not including Carbon Creek because you forgot it or because it's just that bad ;)

    Neither, it's more complicated :D In my timeline I didn't place "Carbon Creek"'s "past" parts in the 1950s but rather on April 12, 2152 where the framing story takes place. The reason for that is T'Pol speaking over the footage from the 1950s which to me signals that we are not seeing actual stuff from the past but a mere visualisation of the words T'Pol says to the others.

    I actually didn't think "Carbon Creek" was that bad but it wasn't outstanding or memorable either. (quintessential ENT season 2 :D) I do give it credit for introducing Mestral who made some cool apperances in Dayton Ward's (mostly) 20th century Trek nobels.

    You can watch all of the series within a week. Just set up eight screens, and watch them all at the same time. ;-)
