Curious about Star Trek, but don’t know where to start? Have we got a show for you! Because while all of us here at MagHuge know the Original Series stuff, some of us (cough… Chris… cough) never really got into anything else Trek in the last 37 years. So there are many questions for noobs who are maybe Trek-curious, but need some wizened guidance on where to begin in this vast, complicated universe of TV shows and movies…. which hardcore Star Trek fans are apparently only too happy to talk about. So sit back and enjoy our irreverent, warp speed overview of as much Trek as we could fit into this Part 1 discussion to try and make Star Trek happen. Again. And remember, the first taste is always free.
