Best place to start (self.startrek)

I've been wanting to get into Star Trek, but I'm not sure the best place to start. I'm sure there's a wide range of opinions.

Some shows 'get good after season 1'. I'm a little worried that I'll end up picking a star trek show with a weak start and then dropping it before the parts people actually like. I vaguely remember reading these sort of comments about TNG.

I'm at the exact point as you too and have decided to see it all!

I'm currently half way through the original series and although much of it has not aged well, it's still fascinating. A few episodes are almost impossible to watch but many of them are classics. I do look forward to the next generation but I will have to watch the animated series first.

From what i understand, star trek is very mixed when it comes to episode quality.

Wait until you get to the final episode.

I can't decide which final episode is worse, TOS' Turnabout Intruder or Enterprise's These Are the Voyages... because the latter shits on Star Trek but the former shits on women.
