Why You Have To Try It: Only two entries left to go and we're reaching the point where watching them all in one go presents serious health issues, so a short nap break may be permitted. It's now OK to like Star Trek, so what better way to embrace this new geek-cum-cool franchise than to sit down and work through the feature output?
Easily split into three sections (Original Series, Next Generation, Reboot), it should be fairly straightforward to work in those much needed breaks. What stands out is how the series actually, to some degree, flows. The first six detail the original crew and the first outing for The Next Generation brings back Kirk, successfully handing over the baton to Picard before leaving them for their own exciting adventures.
The reboot jars a bit more, but it comes when the franchise seemed dead, so even now feels so appreciated. There is of course the dreaded odd number curse, meaning you alternate from good to bad, but when the good stuff isn't too far away, it's not as depressing as it was for fans at the time.
