If you started watching The Cage at midnight on January 1st....

[TrickyDickie]

I have never heard the term she-shed before so I can honestly say I have learnt something today. Though I question the sanity that if the man is hiding out at the bottom of the garden in his man cave and the woman is hiding at the bottom of the garden in her she shed; whose in the in the house?

The cats....of course.

Or the monkey! Maybe this is how the planet of the apes started?

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

You have a point

 

[BillJ]

about 23 days

Does that count eating, sleeping, pooping and masturbating?

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.

Which episode?

 

[saddestmoon]

Have you not heard: I watched in under 12 parsecs...

 

[Jinn]

Okay how long would it take to before you went mad and started talking into your ham sandwich like it's a two way communicator to the enterprise?

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

 

[The Wormhole]

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.

TOS - 79 episodes 50 min+The Cage at 65 min = 4015 min
TAS - 22 episodes = 484 min
TNG - 178 episodes 46 min 8188 min
DS9 - 176 episodes 46 min 8096 min
VOY - Seasons 1-5 46 min, Seasons 6-7 44 min 7808 min
ENT - Seasons 1-2 44 min, Seasons 3-4 42 min 4220 min
DIS - 15 episodes variable duration = total duration 676 min
Films - 1515 min = total duration 25 hrs.

Official run times would total approximately:
35,002 min = 583 hrs = 24+ days

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 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 ) 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. ;-)
