It was the friend I went with and two others, at our table. Gene came walking by and stopped at our table. He looked at us and asked if we would mind if he would sit and chat with us. He sat there for about 45 minutes and we talked, not about Star Trek or anything but just normal everyday things. Such a wonderful memory.
Born in 1976 I have grown up loving Star Trek and I’m just thrilled to see Steve Carell‘s cousin chronologically recap the Star Trek universe. Great video!
I love how, with all the technology, poor Captain Pike can only communicate with a light that beeps once per yes and twice for no. I guess they no longer knew the ancient form of communication called Morse Code. 😁
I thoight he could only blink yes or no because he was so very damaged not even space technology could do better. Like he had been reduced to slime mold level.
I enjoyed this. DS9 was by far the best. Grew up watching Next Gen, DS9, and Voyager. Watched Enterprise some time later. Haven't kept up with it beyond that, so this was fun.
Would love a longer version of this where you don’t have to speed through all the history and lore. Like I never knew any of the history of the nuclear war and all that stuff before the Federation was created.
It's all from quick references that don't always agree with each other so ScreenCrush actually did a fine job not spinning into those debates and giving the agreed upon general timeline. What is very interesting is the prediction (off by many decades) of the desperate decline of neoliberal capitalism and the slow brutality that is actually happening as they try to squeeze the last bits of power from it.
For those who say they don't like or get it, or care - the point is outlined at the start: it's supposed to show a better, more promising side to humanity - ironed out some problems, still working on others, etc. & riddled with metaphor (as accentuated in 'Darmok' S5 e2).
@@xsu-is7vq the only good part of that thing is Kirks talk with 'God' But we were robbed that sybock wasn't played by Leonard Nimoy in a Mustache. That would have made that movie at least hilariously bad and not just bad
I've been a Trekkie since the first episode of the original series and have loved them all since. This is the number one best synopsis I've ever seen and now I want to watch them all again from beginning to end! :)
@@elgueydelaesquina After decades of actual Trek, we get Jar Jar Trek, Rick and Morty Trek, Prodijunk and Star Drek Pecan. @DrG6519 is right, NuDrek is garbage.
7:22 Capt Kirk *did not* take command of the Enterprise due to Capt Pike being injured. The accident that disfigured Capt Pike happened some time after Pike was promoted to Commodore and given another assignment off ship. Same thing that happens to both Kirk and Picard being promoted to Admiral and leaving their respective Enterprise.
@SpaceAce100 "On an interesting side note, ummmm, John Ratzenberger was tapped to play his ummmmm cyborg engineer. He practically saves the whole universe. "
Loved hearing your comical take on the ENTIRE series of series LOL. In Quora, some have asked, what is the best way to start watching Star Trek, I shall take them to this video in RUclips...
Vulcans still have emotions, they just keep them tightly under wraps and use logic as a framework for decision-making. That's why Tim Russ portrayed the best Vulcan yet seen on screen.
Russ's Tuvok was the greatest thing about Voyager. Unfortunately, producers brought in 38DD of 9 and every episode became an attempt to bring in the 13-year-old boys and good stories with characters like Tuvok went to the back-burner
Brilliant recap! Please consider making individual ones for each series, especially DS9 - it’s my favourite as well and there’s a lot that got skipped over
@@lectornox it really got good with Way of the Warrior and the new upbeat intro, really marked a turning point for the series. Ryan can skip all but the essential bits of seasons 1-3 :P
DS9 is the best! Highlighted best episodes: Duet, The Wire, The Visitor, Our Man Bashir, Rules of Engagement, Looking for par'Mach in All the Wrong Places,
Wow! What a great summary! Kudos to the writer and the editing. The images very illustrative, the only error was showing a non-relevant ship while referring to the Enterprise E (which had one of my favourite designs). Also, as previously mentioned in the comments, a relevant plot was the humanoid seeding DNA - which was a great idea to explain why almost all beings are humanoid in the Star Trek universe (besides being performed by human actors).
I've been a trekkie my whole life but this was fun to see its history mapped out like this. I needed a reminder of the first season before picard season 2. Also I didn't know so much about pre federation history. Thank you!! 🖖
I thought this was fantastic. The two things I would have found time to add: The Organians (and the Organian Peace Treaty), and Lore (Spot gets several mentions but zero for Lore)?
Great stuff! I’ve seen probably about 70-80% of Star Trek and knew most of this but you filled some gaps and reminded me of some important details in time for the new season of Picard. Thanks :) Oh my favourite Star Trek will always be TNG and Picard will always be mon Capitaine.
I'm a very, *very* casual fan of the Star Trek universe having only seen, heard, read a small part of it but I was quite surprised by how much I already knew. This was superbly done though and you helped fill in the missing bits. Massive kudos.
I'm so used to seeing just Marvel here that seeing Star Trek content feels so strange :'D But I LOVE seeing it in Ryan Arey style :'D DS9 was incredible.
That was awesome. I like ST but was never totally immersed. Mostly a Next Gen guy. But seeing the entire history laid out like this was pretty freakin cool. Thank you.
I feel like I was just given an extensive homework assignment on watching star trek. I've always wanted to get into Star Trek and im glad this video shall guide me into becoming fan
Maybe I missed it, but I did not hear any mention of temporal cold war from the 27th century. You are going to have to do another recap of all the alternate timelines and mirror universes. Good luck sorting it all out.
This is a cool quick recap. I like how you went through the time line and think even if you did an hour episode just like this there would still be stuff left out.
Fraiser did not Captain the Enterprise C, he was Captain of the USS Bozeman. The Enterprise C was commanded by Captain Garrett played by Tricia O'Neil who basically made a living guest starring on every single TV show in the 70s and 80s. The Voyager didn't fall into a wormhole - it was pulled to the Delta Quadrant via the Care Taker. And Voyager didn't go so fast - it was the Delta Flyer. Never made sense how the Synth was able to do a Vulcan Mind Meld... she's telepathic? And why didn't they just upload Data into a new body?
@@maryham6533 They have to be messing with the fans, right? Even if you were vaguely aware of Star Trek wouldn't you use Google or Memory Alpha to research what you didn't know?
I think (and I have to admit, I hate the First season of Picard), they didn't uploaded him, because he wanted to finish his journey towards a full grown human. Death was his last step.
This was actually awesome. I actually didn't think it'd be possible to recap everything relevant to the Picard series in 20-ish minutes but yeah, you did it.
@@ZoeyZoco @LeeTele I second this... It really is worth it. And do it in the order of release dates. That's the way the story is told. Be patient with the older stuff, allow for the growing storytelling and production styles that evolved as television itself did. It's truly, _"fascinating"_ .
I prefer my headcannon that places Discovery and Picard actually in another timeline like the reboot movies. Without those two the other Star Trek series fits so much smoother.
For new fans to clarify some language: The Enterprise from the 60s show had the serial number NCC-1701. Over time, new Enterprises were built and given the same number, but with a letter appended, eg NCC-1701-A. In the show, and among fans, we'll say eg "Enterprise D" when we need to be clear about which one we mean. There's some debate about which is the best or coolest of course, but they share the most important feature of all: You treat her like a lady, and she'll always bring you home.
That's not how ship hull number sequences work in real life. The shipyard that builds ships has their own hull numbers for each ship build that corresponds with the number the customer finally gives them, they're never the same number. Also when ships reuse previous names, they get a new unique hull number.
@@JohnFourtyTwo Uh, dude. We talking about Star Trek. Not the Navy. In fact, the Navy would probably scowl at the sight of the 60’s and TNG’s “space pajamas” because they’re not proper uniform. Along with the crew’s sometimes weirdly unprofessional behavior in TOS. ( Mitchell calling the captain “Jim” in “Where no man had gone before” and McCoy and Spock fighting come to mind), also are we forgetting about Starfleet ships who are supposed to be made before the Constitution and Enterprise (NCC-1700 and NCC-1701 respectively) having registry numbers like NCC-1684, it’s clear Starfleet doesn’t use the Navy’s hull code
"... three to four hundred years in the future, when humanity has finally sorted itself out." That's the most farfetched aspect of this show's premise.
I'm a pessimistic optimist? An optimistic pessimist? I think we'll do fine, and in the Star Trek universe, we don't start out fine, we stumble quite a bit until some key technologies are brought to bear that eliminate scarcity and subsequently quite a bit of need for competition. Sure it'll look more like The Expanse, dirty, gritty, smelly, but iron/steel, water, energy etc will be trivially inexpensive, and not what they are made out to be in The Expanse because most of the solar system has easy access to water if you're able to accelerate at more than 1G for extended periods of time. The problem won't be cost of resources, cost of transportation, cost of energy. The problem will be political.
...No it's not... Part of that "humanity getting their act together" involved a war to keep people from augmenting their bodies with technology and gene manipulation.
That was flat out fabulous! Can’t imagine now long it took to write that narrative and gather all those clips. Very clever little funnies in there, too. Perfection!
Great episode! Seriously so much work out into this. As a long time star trek fan who has other things to do, it’s tough to stay on top of all the content. Love this refresher!
I am old enough to have watched the original series on TV when I was a kid. My favorite chapter was Voyager as it did not have all the political ties with all the alliances and enemies that the others had. However, you have shown glimpses of storylines I have not even been aware of. I will have to look into those.
I like Voyager a bit better than DS9. It's not my very favorite Star Trek - it has a few issues. *Everyone* seems to pick on that one wacky Voyager episode in order to pan the whole thing. It's like the detractors are all *Borg.* DS9 was too focused on one place, had too many impossible things, and was too cheesy for me. Voyager did what Star Trek was supposed to do - explore new worlds, new tech, and new civilizations. ...With a little ♫Baby!♪ thrown in.
@@FLPhotoCatcher My biggest issue with Voyager was and still is its failure to capitalize on several unique premises it could have followed, to develop villains properly, and to have longform plotlines instead of boring episodic content. But it was still a good series and had some of the greatest individual episodes in all of Trek. To me, the finale of Voyager concluded the era of Good Star Trek. Now we just have the soulless moneymaking spectacles.
@@egustafson Have YOU? The show is better than Disco and Picard, sure, but not by THAT much. It's basically a soap opera / CW show, but in space. The "best of the best of the best of Starfleet" act like goddamn teenagers. That show managed to make Spock worse than what Abrams did to him. And it straight up steals from other stories, quite interesting ones, like Those Who Walked Away from Omelas.
This was an outstanding, informative and entertaining summary. The next installment will have to explain Lower Decks, Prodigy, Strange New Worlds and the Kelvin universe. :-)
Good catch, I was actually thinking about this tidbit when I saw it in the video, that I have a different memory - a woman captain for Enterprise NCC-1701-C
Michael Burnham DID NOT do the right thing - no matter WHAT the Klingon intention. Assault on a superior officer, attempted mutiny, and, yes, firing on another species that had not fired on you (which, no matter the Klingon intentions, would have led to a war) is ALL evidence that, just based on her actions in the pilot, should have landed her in a dark hole never to see the light of day ever again, let alone step foot on a starship, let alone be allowed on the bridge, let alone given a command rank, let alone given command of a ship.
I guess you never picked up on the Klingon way. They respect power and strength. It wasn’t until later that they also respected honor among other species. In our society, what she did would be considered wrong. However, anyone that knows Klingons would have done what she tried to do: fight and give your all in that fight, even if you lose. The example of the enterprise C fighting a hopeless battle to defend a Klingon outpost to them would be the same as fighting a superior opponent (namely the Klingons) and losing. That would have either prevented or at least slowed down the Klingons. It may have even given us a chance to negotiate a peaceful outcome rather just slipping instantly into war. So again, in our society she may not have seemed to be doing the right thing, if she had been allowed to finish it may have stopped a lot of people from being killed.
@@jasperyang2395 The problem with this is that she was betting the farm on a two minute conversation which she had no background. It worked for the Vulcans, there was absolutely NO guarantee that it would worked for Starfleet - especially since this wasn’t a first contact situation. The Klingons already had a 100 year history with Starfleet (starting with Archer) - if a Starfleet ship was going to fire on the Klingons first, they would absolutely take that as wanting to start a fight. The “Vulcan Hello” worked at that specific time and place, with the specific people involved. Burnham wanted to copy and paste, which she should have know not only was anti-Starfleet, but it wasn’t going to work and just provoke a war. Even IF she had a Masters Degree in Klingon Negotiation, and had the background, she still proposed it and was rejected by a superior officer. You don’t assault a superior officer and attempt a mutiny when you don’t get your way. She’s acting like a spoiled child. The ONLY other thing she could have possibly done was to contact Starfleet directly and make her case - they then could make up their mind. The point being, she acted so very improperly based on little to no knowledge or understanding in a situation she didn’t understand.
But if Klingons attack first, then her trying to do that WAS following Klingon protocol! Her own captain should've known that too, even if the Vulcans kept it from the humans.
I'm highly amused that everyone who has replied in this didnt think a writer was the person who came up with all of this; that it was a character who doesnt exist in reality played by a person who reads from a script...
Ryan, you said, "or maybe you're a star trek novice, and you're not sure where to begin in this nearly 60-year-old." I was born in 1966 when The O.G. Star Trek came out, and my heart dropped when you said 60 years old. Geez, thanks.
Holy cow! I've been watching Star Trek my entire life and this is the first time I've seen it mapped out like this! I need to watch it again and go back and watch all the Star Trek series and movies again to catch all this!
Thank you for this. I just finished watching all of the new shows (including Lower Decks.) Now I am just confused with the whole timeline and series of events. I had to watch this twice to really get it. Great video
Besides the Fraser captain snafu, I noticed one more small error: Kirk did not come to command The Enterprise after Pike had his disfiguring accident; that accident happened after Kirk had already taken over the ship.
@@steakslave Such a Strange New World it is, connecting via the internet and discussing plot points of artwork spanning generations. Let alone debating about said artwork decades after it was made.
@@willlopez5808 But it's cool!! Before the internet it was hard to find other people who were interested in debating the same kind of arcane plot points, artwork, etc. For years I thought I was the only person who liked the early 70s prog band Spring, but on the internet I'm able to find the other few hundred or so people who also know of the band, and we can geek out in tandem. With Star Trek, there's so much to discuss in over a half-century of episodes and films, it's interesting comparing them all against each other.
@14:55 I thought they kind of soft canon'd that Tom Paris is the same guy from the Wesley episode, with some kind of name change or whatever to give a fresh start. Also, amusingly, Dukat's actor played a completely different and basically identical Cardassian in an episode of TNG as well. Also also Tuvak's around as a human in First Contact. Star Trek series are quite liberal with their reusing of actors.
Tim Russ also appears as a lieutenant on the Enterprise B, which makes me wonder how badly Tuvok f'd up that he's STILL a lieutenant on Voyager some 80 years later....
@@liwoszarchaeologist According to Jeri Taylor's 'crew backstory' books, (her first being mosaic for janeway, the second, pathways, for the rest), tuvok retired and eventually returned to starfleet. I dont recall much else, only that they created a short-range transporter that slowly created a cavern nearby a cubic inch at a time to escape a prison, the beamed-in material being left on the prison's "field" as dust like its bloody The Shawshank Redemption.
I remember growing up in a small town in alaska where you coukd only get 1 channel on TV. They showed a lot of start trek. I was never a huge fan, but sometimes it served to pass the time. Certain elements I thought were entertaining.
Not bad for a speed run though Star Trek. Two mistakes jumped out at me though, first is Discovery went 930 years into the future, not 700. Second, Frasier (Kelsey Grammer) never Captained a Enterprise, he was Captain of the USS Bozeman.
Well, the premise of the video is to get viewers ready for Picard season 3. Far more of Star Trek: Picard is relevant to that than is any other series.
This confirms that ST:TOS and ST:TNG are head and shoulders better than subsequent productions by far. Even in hyper-compressed format they're far more interesting. Honorable mention for Voyager, which has always been underrated.
Starting my Star Trek journey to watch every single series (Just found out apparently there are books as well, might have to knock those off too.) right here..... I'm not sure if it's a good idea, but I love spoilers!!
Nice recap of the timeline, BUT, 21:05 - They put Picard in a robot body, not a young Picard body though? Although it's awesome to have Sir Patrick Stewart alive, they couldn't find an actor that was a young match?
Wow! That was great! It also confirms my decision to never watch Star Trek Picard. Or Discovery. Die, shows, die. Ha. ha. ha. ha. ha. I'm 80 and started watching the original series shortly after it started. Missed a few episodes because i was overseas with the Army, but i'd heard about it there.
I miss sci-fi shows like DS9 and TNG. Modern Star Trek feels so dumbed down and violent. The best show of the last decade was The Expanse for me, as it managed to capture some of that old magic, while having great world building due to the novels.

The Enterprise C was captained by Rachel Garrett. Fraiser was the captain of the Bozeman, the ship that kept coming out of a timeloop and destroying the Enterprise D.
And when they needed a random ship to be close to help the enterprise it was the Bozeman (or in ST8)

What is very interesting is the prediction (off by many decades) of the desperate decline of neoliberal capitalism and the slow brutality that is actually happening as they try to squeeze the last bits of power from it.
take the time to watch the shows?
For those who say they don't like or get it, or care - the point is outlined at the start: it's supposed to show a better, more promising side to humanity - ironed out some problems, still working on others, etc. & riddled with metaphor (as accentuated in 'Darmok' S5 e2).
Everything I hear those first few notes I from the OG trek get a warm fuzzy feeling.
"A Piece of the Action" was my favorite Star Trek episode. The original Star Trek, along with Laugh In, filled our college dorm TV room to the max.
Glad to see someone acknowledge the masterpiece of film that is The Voyage Home
Yep, even numbered movies of star trek were great, odd numbered sucked.
and never mentioned that thing between the voyage home and undiscovered country
@@xsu-is7vq the only good part of that thing is Kirks talk with 'God'
But we were robbed that sybock wasn't played by Leonard Nimoy in a Mustache. That would have made that movie at least hilariously bad and not just bad
@@sethaldrich6902 The Voyage home is by far the worst TOS cast film hands down.
@@ViroVV Well, it's my favourite one.
30 year Star trek fan, highly approve. Excellent work.
This was the best star trek overview i've ever seen....and that ending was awesome lol...had me rolling
I've been a Trekkie since the first episode of the original series and have loved them all since. This is the number one best synopsis I've ever seen and now I want to watch them all again from beginning to end! :)
@@NecessaryTruths Quite possibly!
You loved them all? You watched the majesty of TNG and ds9 and somehow enjoy discovery? Disappointing
@@DrG65199 and what right do You have on other person likings?
Discovery's characters are lame
@@elgueydelaesquina After decades of actual Trek, we get Jar Jar Trek, Rick and Morty Trek, Prodijunk and Star Drek Pecan. @DrG6519 is right, NuDrek is garbage.
Glad to see DS9 get the love it deserves!!
Best show
Wow! I didn’t think a video this short could cover so much Star Trek. Awesome job!
7:22 Capt Kirk *did not* take command of the Enterprise due to Capt Pike being injured. The accident that disfigured Capt Pike happened some time after Pike was promoted to Commodore and given another assignment off ship. Same thing that happens to both Kirk and Picard being promoted to Admiral and leaving their respective Enterprise.
@SpaceAce100 "On an interesting side note, ummmm, John Ratzenberger was tapped to play his ummmmm cyborg engineer. He practically saves the whole universe. "
Point of order: Kirk takes over for Pike in the KELVIN timeline, so it is correct, just not in the context of preparing for Star Trek Picard.
& and in the "mirror" universe, Kirk takes command of ISS Enterprise by killing Pike.
Mr. Spock could beat Captain Kirk in a fight.
@spaceace1006Or was it The Bozo man?? 🤣
Loved hearing your comical take on the ENTIRE series of series LOL. In Quora, some have asked, what is the best way to start watching Star Trek, I shall take them to this video in RUclips...
Became a fan because of the movies and it's lovely to know that the series had a lot more to offer.
Vulcans still have emotions, they just keep them tightly under wraps and use logic as a framework for decision-making. That's why Tim Russ portrayed the best Vulcan yet seen on screen.
Russ's Tuvok was the greatest thing about Voyager. Unfortunately, producers brought in 38DD of 9 and every episode became an attempt to bring in the 13-year-old boys and good stories with characters like Tuvok went to the back-burner
You say Tim Russ, my brain says "WE AI'NT FOUND SHIT!"
@@mikester1290 Combing the desert??
@@jdhenge That was then. This is now.
How about Spock's brother on the last ST movie? Of course, the movie itself wasn't that good.
7:49 Australia getting called out from the 1960s were wild! 😂
Brilliant recap! Please consider making individual ones for each series, especially DS9 - it’s my favourite as well and there’s a lot that got skipped over
Your favorite what are you crazy lol jk it's my favorite too well one of them lol
We third this! A recap of each individual iteration would be awesome!
@@lectornox it really got good with Way of the Warrior and the new upbeat intro, really marked a turning point for the series. Ryan can skip all but the essential bits of seasons 1-3 :P
DS9 is the best! Highlighted best episodes: Duet, The Wire, The Visitor, Our Man Bashir, Rules of Engagement, Looking for par'Mach in All the Wrong Places,
I'm trying to get into ds9 right now
That was exactly what I was wondering after having bingewatched in a random order. Thanks for laying it out so perfectly.
Wow! What a great summary! Kudos to the writer and the editing. The images very illustrative, the only error was showing a non-relevant ship while referring to the Enterprise E (which had one of my favourite designs).
Also, as previously mentioned in the comments, a relevant plot was the humanoid seeding DNA - which was a great idea to explain why almost all beings are humanoid in the Star Trek universe (besides being performed by human actors).
I've been a trekkie my whole life but this was fun to see its history mapped out like this. I needed a reminder of the first season before picard season 2. Also I didn't know so much about pre federation history. Thank you!! 🖖
needs more tribble..... :)
@@violacharlie I love all the trouble with Tribbles(ds9 one too)! 😍
I thought this was fantastic. The two things I would have found time to add: The Organians (and the Organian Peace Treaty), and Lore (Spot gets several mentions but zero for Lore)?
Great stuff! I’ve seen probably about 70-80% of Star Trek and knew most of this but you filled some gaps and reminded me of some important details in time for the new season of Picard. Thanks :) Oh my favourite Star Trek will always be TNG and Picard will always be mon Capitaine.
Thanks for breaking down "Star Trek" Universe, I really do appreciate this.
Wow. Jus wow. You did all that in 20 minutes. Kudos.
I'm a very, *very* casual fan of the Star Trek universe having only seen, heard, read a small part of it but I was quite surprised by how much I already knew. This was superbly done though and you helped fill in the missing bits. Massive kudos.
I am a long time passive fan. Born in 60s and grew up with original on TV. I had never mapped out the whole story. Thanks.
I'm so used to seeing just Marvel here that seeing Star Trek content feels so strange :'D
But I LOVE seeing it in Ryan Arey style :'D
DS9 was incredible.
That was awesome. I like ST but was never totally immersed. Mostly a Next Gen guy. But seeing the entire history laid out like this was pretty freakin cool. Thank you.
Just.. i love it... "...baby..."... and back to the story... lmao.. thank you for the smiles throughout this program.. great stuff.. 💜🙏💜
I feel like I was just given an extensive homework assignment on watching star trek. I've always wanted to get into Star Trek and im glad this video shall guide me into becoming fan
Have fun!!! It’s given me ENDLESS hours of enjoyment
Maybe I missed it, but I did not hear any mention of temporal cold war from the 27th century. You are going to have to do another recap of all the alternate timelines and mirror universes. Good luck sorting it all out.
Been sleeping on this Star Trek episode of ScreenCrush
This is a cool quick recap. I like how you went through the time line and think even if you did an hour episode just like this there would still be stuff left out.
Fraiser did not Captain the Enterprise C, he was Captain of the USS Bozeman. The Enterprise C was commanded by Captain Garrett played by Tricia O'Neil who basically made a living guest starring on every single TV show in the 70s and 80s. The Voyager didn't fall into a wormhole - it was pulled to the Delta Quadrant via the Care Taker. And Voyager didn't go so fast - it was the Delta Flyer. Never made sense how the Synth was able to do a Vulcan Mind Meld... she's telepathic? And why didn't they just upload Data into a new body?
Good job. Maybe Screencrush should hire you.
Any real fan already knows this so they either aren't that into Star trek or Ryan and co. are messing with us.
@@maryham6533 They have to be messing with the fans, right? Even if you were vaguely aware of Star Trek wouldn't you use Google or Memory Alpha to research what you didn't know?
Ryan I love you but has the Frazier reboot made you really confused?
I think (and I have to admit, I hate the First season of Picard), they didn't uploaded him, because he wanted to finish his journey towards a full grown human. Death was his last step.
The description of the crew for NG is amazing delivery and why I love this channel.
This was actually awesome. I actually didn't think it'd be possible to recap everything relevant to the Picard series in 20-ish minutes but yeah, you did it.
Never got into Star Trek although I sometimes wish that I did. Thank you for an excellent overview and mad props to whoever edits these 😂🙌🏻
Time
It’s never too late! Start watching now :)
@@ZoeyZoco @LeeTele I second this... It really is worth it. And do it in the order of release dates. That's the way the story is told. Be patient with the older stuff, allow for the growing storytelling and production styles that evolved as television itself did. It's truly, _"fascinating"_ .
TOS and TNG are great. The rest? Not so much.
@@ForceMaximus84 DS9 is amazing, just in a different way.
Can't help but feel more time is spent summarizing Picard than all of DS9...
That was excellent. I never watched Star Trek except maybe one or two episodes and I was not expecting such a detailed story line.
Best, and funniest, Star Trek recap ever!
I prefer my headcannon that places Discovery and Picard actually in another timeline like the reboot movies.
Without those two the other Star Trek series fits so much smoother.
For new fans to clarify some language: The Enterprise from the 60s show had the serial number NCC-1701. Over time, new Enterprises were built and given the same number, but with a letter appended, eg NCC-1701-A. In the show, and among fans, we'll say eg "Enterprise D" when we need to be clear about which one we mean. There's some debate about which is the best or coolest of course, but they share the most important feature of all: You treat her like a lady, and she'll always bring you home.
Unless you use the auto destruct sequence to kill Kahn lol
@@ChrisPyle or play too rough with the Klingons. Or fight too many Romulans. Or crash her in to a planet...
That's not how ship hull number sequences work in real life. The shipyard that builds ships has their own hull numbers for each ship build that corresponds with the number the customer finally gives them, they're never the same number. Also when ships reuse previous names, they get a new unique hull number.
What did you do to make your mother decide to abandon you at the grocery store?
@@JohnFourtyTwo Uh, dude. We talking about Star Trek. Not the Navy. In fact, the Navy would probably scowl at the sight of the 60’s and TNG’s “space pajamas” because they’re not proper uniform. Along with the crew’s sometimes weirdly unprofessional behavior in TOS. ( Mitchell calling the captain “Jim” in “Where no man had gone before” and McCoy and Spock fighting come to mind), also are we forgetting about Starfleet ships who are supposed to be made before the Constitution and Enterprise (NCC-1700 and NCC-1701 respectively) having registry numbers like NCC-1684, it’s clear Starfleet doesn’t use the Navy’s hull code
"... three to four hundred years in the future, when humanity has finally sorted itself out."
That's the most farfetched aspect of this show's premise.
Sadly, things are far more likely to end up looking like The Expanse in 300 years. (sigh)
@@Terminator484 We should be so lucky. Humanity will be sorted out in 70 years when there's nothing left but radioactive dust.
What, no confidence. Granted, our history is not a great indication, but it is our history, not our future. We might actually be doing fine.
I'm a pessimistic optimist? An optimistic pessimist? I think we'll do fine, and in the Star Trek universe, we don't start out fine, we stumble quite a bit until some key technologies are brought to bear that eliminate scarcity and subsequently quite a bit of need for competition. Sure it'll look more like The Expanse, dirty, gritty, smelly, but iron/steel, water, energy etc will be trivially inexpensive, and not what they are made out to be in The Expanse because most of the solar system has easy access to water if you're able to accelerate at more than 1G for extended periods of time. The problem won't be cost of resources, cost of transportation, cost of energy. The problem will be political.
...No it's not... Part of that "humanity getting their act together" involved a war to keep people from augmenting their bodies with technology and gene manipulation.
How you figured out and summarized all this is amazing. I think I've seen half or more but could never put together a narrative
Great job. As a star trek fan who hasn't been able follow the story since the ng movies, this was helpful and really enjoyable to watch. Thanks!
Trust me you haven't missed anything
That was flat out fabulous! Can’t imagine now long it took to write that narrative and gather all those clips. Very clever little funnies in there, too. Perfection!
need a family friendly version
just finished Picard ! was great , now re watching all of the old ones me and my dad used to watch when i was younger!
Great episode! Seriously so much work out into this. As a long time star trek fan who has other things to do, it’s tough to stay on top of all the content. Love this refresher!
You can skip everything after Enterprise and that will save you time
@@Keeper_Lock lower decks, SNW, and prodigy are all better than enterprise lmao.
Ryan, you always make me laugh but this is the best video you've ever made. I'm ROTFL and I'm supposed to be working and listening in the background.
So where do I got to get deprogrammed so I don't start laughing every time I hear "Kiss From a Rose" by Seal?
I cracked up at Geordie being a blind reading enthusiast 😂
Not sure why that's funny... blind people read, it's called Braille.
And no, I didn't miss the obvious reading rainbow reference.
Being blind with augments that make it so you can see is not exactly the same thing as being blind.
Thanks for calling that out. I listened to that line four times and still couldn't make out the middle word.
In the beginning of TNG he was the navigator, I believe.
I am old enough to have watched the original series on TV when I was a kid. My favorite chapter was Voyager as it did not have all the political ties with all the alliances and enemies that the others had. However, you have shown glimpses of storylines I have not even been aware of. I will have to look into those.
I like Voyager a bit better than DS9. It's not my very favorite Star Trek - it has a few issues. *Everyone* seems to pick on that one wacky Voyager episode in order to pan the whole thing. It's like the detractors are all *Borg.*
DS9 was too focused on one place, had too many impossible things, and was too cheesy for me. Voyager did what Star Trek was supposed to do - explore new worlds, new tech, and new civilizations. ...With a little ♫Baby!♪ thrown in.
@@FLPhotoCatcher My biggest issue with Voyager was and still is its failure to capitalize on several unique premises it could have followed, to develop villains properly, and to have longform plotlines instead of boring episodic content.
But it was still a good series and had some of the greatest individual episodes in all of Trek. To me, the finale of Voyager concluded the era of Good Star Trek. Now we just have the soulless moneymaking spectacles.
@@Klokinator have you seen strange new world?
@@egustafson Have YOU? The show is better than Disco and Picard, sure, but not by THAT much. It's basically a soap opera / CW show, but in space. The "best of the best of the best of Starfleet" act like goddamn teenagers. That show managed to make Spock worse than what Abrams did to him. And it straight up steals from other stories, quite interesting ones, like Those Who Walked Away from Omelas.
This was an outstanding, informative and entertaining summary. The next installment will have to explain Lower Decks, Prodigy, Strange New Worlds and the Kelvin universe. :-)
Kelsey Grammer was Captain Bateson of the USS Bozeman, not the Enterprise C, that was captained by Rachel Garret
Good call you beat me by 5 minutes I was just heading here to say the same thing. 🖖🏻
Ditto
Yep. Also, Voyager didn't get there by wormhole- it was the Caretaker.
Good catch, I was actually thinking about this tidbit when I saw it in the video, that I have a different memory - a woman captain for Enterprise NCC-1701-C
Would love to have you cover Star Trek more regularly.
You didn't mention the single most heroic and important character of all of Star Trek, GUL DUKAT!
This man just broke down *50 plus* years of Trek🤯
Michael Burnham DID NOT do the right thing - no matter WHAT the Klingon intention. Assault on a superior officer, attempted mutiny, and, yes, firing on another species that had not fired on you (which, no matter the Klingon intentions, would have led to a war) is ALL evidence that, just based on her actions in the pilot, should have landed her in a dark hole never to see the light of day ever again, let alone step foot on a starship, let alone be allowed on the bridge, let alone given a command rank, let alone given command of a ship.
Yep. Pure evil and sheer hubris.
I guess you never picked up on the Klingon way. They respect power and strength. It wasn’t until later that they also respected honor among other species. In our society, what she did would be considered wrong. However, anyone that knows Klingons would have done what she tried to do: fight and give your all in that fight, even if you lose. The example of the enterprise C fighting a hopeless battle to defend a Klingon outpost to them would be the same as fighting a superior opponent (namely the Klingons) and losing. That would have either prevented or at least slowed down the Klingons. It may have even given us a chance to negotiate a peaceful outcome rather just slipping instantly into war. So again, in our society she may not have seemed to be doing the right thing, if she had been allowed to finish it may have stopped a lot of people from being killed.
@@jasperyang2395 The problem with this is that she was betting the farm on a two minute conversation which she had no background. It worked for the Vulcans, there was absolutely NO guarantee that it would worked for Starfleet - especially since this wasn’t a first contact situation. The Klingons already had a 100 year history with Starfleet (starting with Archer) - if a Starfleet ship was going to fire on the Klingons first, they would absolutely take that as wanting to start a fight. The “Vulcan Hello” worked at that specific time and place, with the specific people involved. Burnham wanted to copy and paste, which she should have know not only was anti-Starfleet, but it wasn’t going to work and just provoke a war.
Even IF she had a Masters Degree in Klingon Negotiation, and had the background, she still proposed it and was rejected by a superior officer. You don’t assault a superior officer and attempt a mutiny when you don’t get your way. She’s acting like a spoiled child. The ONLY other thing she could have possibly done was to contact Starfleet directly and make her case - they then could make up their mind. The point being, she acted so very improperly based on little to no knowledge or understanding in a situation she didn’t understand.
But if Klingons attack first, then her trying to do that WAS following Klingon protocol! Her own captain should've known that too, even if the Vulcans kept it from the humans.
I'm highly amused that everyone who has replied in this didnt think a writer was the person who came up with all of this; that it was a character who doesnt exist in reality played by a person who reads from a script...
Ryan, you said, "or maybe you're a star trek novice, and you're not sure where to begin in this nearly 60-year-old."
I was born in 1966 when The O.G. Star Trek came out, and my heart dropped when you said 60 years old. Geez, thanks.
Holy cow! I've been watching Star Trek my entire life and this is the first time I've seen it mapped out like this! I need to watch it again and go back and watch all the Star Trek series and movies again to catch all this!
I don't think Roddenberry would have steered the shows the way they've gone. His outlook was a lot brighter.
Thank you for this. I just finished watching all of the new shows (including Lower Decks.) Now I am just confused with the whole timeline and series of events. I had to watch this twice to really get it. Great video
What is confusing? The alternate Star Trek universe is mostly consistent, only the years/ stardates have varied. History is often off by a few years.
Besides the Fraser captain snafu, I noticed one more small error: Kirk did not come to command The Enterprise after Pike had his disfiguring accident; that accident happened after Kirk had already taken over the ship.
You are correct. Unfortunately, the most recent episode of Strange New Worlds even got that wrong.

@@steakslave Such a Strange New World it is, connecting via the internet and discussing plot points of artwork spanning generations. Let alone debating about said artwork decades after it was made.
@@willlopez5808 But it's cool!! Before the internet it was hard to find other people who were interested in debating the same kind of arcane plot points, artwork, etc. For years I thought I was the only person who liked the early 70s prog band Spring, but on the internet I'm able to find the other few hundred or so people who also know of the band, and we can geek out in tandem. With Star Trek, there's so much to discuss in over a half-century of episodes and films, it's interesting comparing them all against each other.
THIS is pure GENIUS! Thank you guys SO MUCH!!! 😂
You earned my LIKE at "Blind reading enthusiasts." Well written good. 5/7 perfect score
Watching this is like having a constant stream of flashbacks to the best parts of my Star Trek youth... 😂
@14:55 I thought they kind of soft canon'd that Tom Paris is the same guy from the Wesley episode, with some kind of name change or whatever to give a fresh start.
Also, amusingly, Dukat's actor played a completely different and basically identical Cardassian in an episode of TNG as well.
Also also Tuvak's around as a human in First Contact.
Star Trek series are quite liberal with their reusing of actors.
Tim Russ also appears as a lieutenant on the Enterprise B, which makes me wonder how badly Tuvok f'd up that he's STILL a lieutenant on Voyager some 80 years later....
@@liwoszarchaeologist According to Jeri Taylor's 'crew backstory' books, (her first being mosaic for janeway, the second, pathways, for the rest), tuvok retired and eventually returned to starfleet. I dont recall much else, only that they created a short-range transporter that slowly created a cavern nearby a cubic inch at a time to escape a prison, the beamed-in material being left on the prison's "field" as dust like its bloody The Shawshank Redemption.
He was supposed to be the same guy but they couldnt get the rights for the character So they changed his name.

This was an absolutely fantastic review. Amazing job.
I remember growing up in a small town in alaska where you coukd only get 1 channel on TV. They showed a lot of start trek. I was never a huge fan, but sometimes it served to pass the time. Certain elements I thought were entertaining.

Comprehensive. Almost a Vulcan-esque accuracy. Well done!
Some of his accuracy is incorrect!
@@jojo526
It's close enough - for a human.
This was really good, thanks step-pepper!
Not bad for a speed run though Star Trek. Two mistakes jumped out at me though, first is Discovery went 930 years into the future, not 700. Second, Frasier (Kelsey Grammer) never Captained a Enterprise, he was Captain of the USS Bozeman.
bump
"A blind reading enthusiast named Jordy" cracked me up way more then it probably should have.
::cough:: Geordi
Love how stuff like DS9 and TNG took a minute or so to describe but Picard is so all over the place it takes ages to go through.
Well, the premise of the video is to get viewers ready for Picard season 3. Far more of Star Trek: Picard is relevant to that than is any other series.
I could be wrong, but I think the Discovery actually traveled ~930 years into the future.
This confirms that ST:TOS and ST:TNG are head and shoulders better than subsequent productions by far. Even in hyper-compressed format they're far more interesting.
Honorable mention for Voyager, which has always been underrated.
Even the Voyager video games were criminally underrated.
Hmm...not a big fan of DS9?
Starting my Star Trek journey to watch every single series (Just found out apparently there are books as well, might have to knock those off too.) right here.....
I'm not sure if it's a good idea, but I love spoilers!!
Nice recap of the timeline, BUT, 21:05 - They put Picard in a robot body, not a young Picard body though? Although it's awesome to have Sir Patrick Stewart alive, they couldn't find an actor that was a young match?
Wow! That was great! It also confirms my decision to never watch Star Trek Picard. Or Discovery. Die, shows, die. Ha. ha. ha. ha. ha. I'm 80 and started watching the original series shortly after it started. Missed a few episodes because i was overseas with the Army, but i'd heard about it there.
Seal should be proud his song was so often associated with "fun times".
I miss sci-fi shows like DS9 and TNG. Modern Star Trek feels so dumbed down and violent. The best show of the last decade was The Expanse for me, as it managed to capture some of that old magic, while having great world building due to the novels.
9:54 Poor Lore, everyone forgets about him. :(
Also B4, who was in the box.
I guess that is why he became evil 🤣
Who? lol
This is actually an excellent recap for a newbie. Unfortunately absolutely none of it was relevant for Picard season 2.
I agree, DS9 is the best of Star Trek 😁🖖🏾
If Guinan's race, the El-Aurians, were able to face down the Q to a standstill, how come they had so much trouble with the Borg?

@@SlashTempest yes he must die for the story to happen set your phaser to maximum so there is no body and there for no crime
