Am I missing anything important if I start watching Star Trek:

no not really. you've probably absorbed enough pop culture to know who the original characters are when they make cameos now and then

you will miss some callbacks but whatever

You'll be missing the better Star Trek series.

No

be aware that s1 and s2 are pretty clunky and that the consistently good episodes come at a later time but it's worth seeing it from the beginning due to the momentum it builds

(this is also the case for DS9 and Voyager)

>>85490709
Which one?

>>85491852
The Original Series

>>85491925
Good taste, my friend.

>>85490545

Watch the original films. Forget the series.

>>85492115
Shit taste, my friend.

>>85491852

There's really only one. I mean, technically there's the Animated Series, but it's basically part of TOS.

>>85490545
Not really, but I definitely recommend watching TOS. I prefer it, in fact.

>Implying I didn't watch the originals and am just assuming someone who isn't a Trek fan already wont want to sit through 40+ hours of 60's special effects.

Then watch it with remastered special effects.

Remastered is a strong word. Besides OP won't be able to sit through it without getting into Star Trek first.
