Havn' had the time, I need to go through the series and movies myself.
I was good until about the end, then i looked into it and saw it was based on the new reboots...
I'm going to give it a chance, but the end just really threw me.
and saw it was based on the new reboots
and saw it was based on the new rebootsAll of the movies have taken themselves far too seriously (except probably the whale one)
I think adequate prep is season 7 of TNG, Nemesis, and Star Trek (2009)
It's possible some voyager prep will be necessary in the coming episodes, I would guess that the final episode of Voyager would be minimally enough...
If I was coming from nowhere, I'm not sure how I would feel about the show.
Watching episode 2 as soon as I get off work :thumb:
Episode 2 is so gud''...
Some theories: [Spoiler warning]
As much as I like Star trek, it's a terrible franchise, always has been. Say what you will about Lucas or Disney, at least you have one group steering the ship instead of whoever made the best pitch for a new series they can slap the name on.
By the way, why not just put spoiler warning in the threat title... Though to be fair, if you click on a thread about a show that should be common knowledge.
*This is why Picard can't follow TNG canon.
Hell yeah.

Starting to really get a Firefly vibe from the show (Firefly meets Star trek?).
Did a search, seems I'm not the only one.

I can see that emerging as well.
For what it's worth, I personally think they should stick to being in space. I think he final ~5 minutes of episode 4 demonstrate that pretty well.
I'm sure the visual similarities you see are there, but, can't say I'm feeling Firefly.It wasn't there in the earlier episodes, but I think it's becoming more and more prevalent as time goes on.
I really need to watch some Star Trek...Picard is a hybrid.
I don't want to offend Star Trek fans here. I know it may sound strange, as being a 80s-90s person I didn't watch ST, maybe just few episodes, never really pulled me in.
I was more X-Files fan.
What do you guys suggest to watch first?
I know it was like Star Trek, then some New Generation etc
Which one should I Watch before I get to new Picard series?

The original series (TOS) was hokey,

They can't use almost anything story-wise from The Next Generation (TNG) due to ownership rights so the story/timeline is ripped from the re-imagined JJ ABrams movies but with TNG Characters. Anything they use from older stuff is pretty well explained so you don't need to know Trek history to enjoy it.
If you do want to watch older trek...
TNG starts off rocky, season 1 was made using older scripts originally intended for the original series, as a result there are times the story is very out of touch with the times since the writing was 20-30 years old. By season 2 they started finding their footing and it got better. While I always thought it was the best Trek series, a friend pushed me to watch Voyager, which I dismissed for various reasons, mostly I think I was burned out on Trek as TNG has just ended and we had Deep Space 9 (DS9) running (which I tired of), so it had been years of not just one Trek series, but two.
Voyager is better, though it pains me to say so because I just preferred the characters I think. It relies a bit too much on time travel too often to get out of a jam, one of my earlier complaints, but it really was better overall I think and they do come to use it less as a plot point as it goes on. That said, the best Trek series, which I think suffered from being the last in a long line up years of Trek series is Enterprise with Scott Bakula. Like me, I think people just got tired of the series so it ended early, but it really was fantastic. Had there been a few years break between series I think it would have done much better, it was just too much Trek at the time.
The original series (TOS) was hokey, if you like Doctor Who style sci-fi it may be better, the movies based on it are better in my opinion. Despite being hokey, the original did venture into serious issues now and then. DS9, some say it got better much later into the series after they realized there's only so many stores you can tell stuck on a space station. By then I had already checked out. It had some interesting elements though.
If you want gritty, the newer movies and the Discovery Series. The movies are a bit too Michael Bay-ish for me, Discovery is sort of the anti-Trek, sort of like how Rogue One is for Star Wars, some people really hate it, others like it.

As a non-initiate, You don't need to watch The Original Series, it's not good television by modern standards.
Start with Either Voyager or The Next Generation.
Tp4 personally recommends TNG, but, mechanically, Voyager is more modern/ easier to follow.
After Voyager and TNG, you can watch Deep Space 9.
The Animated series is good, but it's more for younger people.
Enterprise is not bad, but directorially, it's chauvinistic and crass.
Tp4 considers TOS, Enterprise, TAS, non-essential viewing for Non-Hardcore fans.
You can only watch the Latest Trek-Picard if you've seen TNG, otherwise its emphasis is not standalone.
Then there is the Series that doesn't exist which was produced in 2017, Ignore it, it never happened.

I had to stop watching Discovery half way into Season 2. This felt incredibly similar after two episodes so I just packed it in despite wanting to persevere if only to enjoy Red Letter Media tear it apart in their hilarious recaps.
