Week One

My goal is to get anyone who has never seen Star Trek to go from novice to die-hard fan in 100 days. All you will need is 3 months of Netflix and 1 month of CBS All Access.

Total Cost: $53

Total Daily Hours: 2

Week 1:

This is to introduce you to the Best of Star Trek (The Original Series)  It is not complete. But these episodes are the foundation of the universe of Star Trek and you’ll be well served watching them. I picked the best, most entertaining episodes first.  This shouldn’t feel like homework but back in 1966 TV episodes were 52 minutes long. These are slow paced. Some of it will feel cheesy, some of it will feel sexist. Still, if you go in with an open mind, and understand the era these classic episodes belong in, you’ll enjoy them.  There are even better episodes that were left out, but you can come back to them once you know if you’re gonna be a fan or not.
