I was thinking the other day about wanting to check out TNG, but I'm not great at committing to long shows. I happened to find this forum post (
https://www.trekbbs.com/threads/my-guide-to-the-major-arcs-of-tng.268657/), and I like the idea of watching episodes that contribute to bigger plotlines. I was wondering if one of the experts here could weigh in on whether this is an alright list for a beginner to get into the show.
This is an excellent watch list if you are only focused Character Development or Event Mythology episodes.
But some of the best episodes have nothing to do with either. But definitely a great starting point. And if you like what you see, you can go back and watch other episodes. But be warned, Next Gen does not really get great until Season Three. There was a ton of behind the scenes chaos those first two seasons... lots of writers, producers, showrunners... it took a while for the tone and style to solidify. But seasons 3-6 are fantastic.
