I'm really looking forward to the Lower Decks crossover. Beckett Mariner is in the Top 10
Tawny Newsome as Beckett Mariner deserves a mention as one of the best new Star Trek personalities. I cannot wait for the crossover episode.

Picard is kind of it's own spin-off. I think that and Lower Decks take place in roughly the same time period.
Discovery and Strange New Worlds are the ones that you probably need to be aware of, since the characters in SNW are introduced in S2 of Discovery.
Edit: I think Picard may be the weakest Star Trek series on Paramount+. S2 of Picard was ROUGH. The first episode of S2 was amazing but then it completely went off the rails. I'm only 2 episodes in to S3 and it is a big improvement from S2. Just wanted to make you aware that if you haven't given the other Star Trek series a shot yet that they are much better than Picard.

My order is
Stewart
Brooks
Shatner
Mount
Love those four. The other captains are far behind, primarily because these were my favorite shows.
Picard S1 was decent, S2 was not great, and S3 was spectacular
Exactly this. As a person who came in to the franchise with TNG, Picard season 3 was perfection.
I have two episodes left in Picard season 3. Agree with this rating 100%. I could barely watch season 2 at times. Just terrible writing and seems like a pointless story looking back from season 3. Excited to finish season 3 in the next couple of days!

Picard is like the next TNG movie or two. That’s how I view it and good enough for that.
I’d actually try lower decks next if you’re a huge fan and like animation for all the references and the guest appearances on SNW will mean something.
Loved him in "In the pale moonlight" - A top 5 episode in all of Star Trek for me.
Funny you say that. My brother keeps telling me to watch these Star Trek shows. I watched the first two seasons of Discovery and was pretty lukewarm about it (what the hell did they do to the Klingons?). He said just get through those two seasons then watch Strange New Worlds because that is a great show. Then watch Picard and Lower Decks. I haven’t. Seems daunting to me, but you all are telling me I should.
I’ve not seen lower decks and don’t plan on it. Picard and Discovery were both good, but they’re not SNW. That one is better than anything they’ve done since TNG. It’s basically a prequel to the original ST with Kirk.
If youve ever made Trek jokes with your friends or family, watch Lower Decks. Its really a ton of fun. But you kind of have to be a pretty big fan in the first place to get all the little inside references.
Plus the format of SNW is less serialized and more week-to-week adventures like old school Trek. It is definately the throwback series.
Just channel flipped into the 1989 Next Generation episode "The Emissary". Relatively unknown actress Suzie Plakson turns in one of the best guest appearances of any Star Trek actress. She's just outstanding as the half Klingon love interest of Worf. Probably my fav guest character.

Yes, loved her character
its a shame she was killed off in her next appearance
