I only watched the first episode so far. I swear to god, if they don't bring Data's daughter back to life, I'm going to commit warcrimes.

While I personally enjoyed the entire series, I would at least watch season 3 while skipping the first two.

[–] OccamsTeapot@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I've been considering this approach. I know the plot of the first two but don't want to go through them based on what I've heard - I guess it will be fine to just jump into S3?

[–] End0fLine@startrek.website 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If you’re familiar with the plot of the first two, absolutely. There are some like Nepenthe I think you should watch, but it is fairly standalone.

[–] OccamsTeapot@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Nice, I will try that approach then, thanks!

[–] porthos@startrek.website 1 points 1 year ago

One of the difficulties of the making of season 2 was that it was happening at the same time as the making of season 3 so they couldn't really connect them that much... so you are fine skipping right to season 3 if you want

[–] charliekilo@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The only problem is that if you skip those 2 (though I admit that 1 is sort of okay at best and 2 is... pretty bad), a lot of the best stuff that happens in 3 is a lot to handle.

I'm very new to Lemmy and can't find a spoiler button so I'll be vague instead: there is a huge plot in season 3 for a beloved character, and if that had all happened in the first season, it wouldn't have felt earned.

[–] End0fLine@startrek.website 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I would never skip them myself, but I understand why someone might want to.

spoilerTesting a spoiler! It appears to be the ⚠️button, at least on the mobile webpage.

[–] charliekilo@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I believe we're in the same boat.

And tragically, on the Jerboa app, no such button, and your spoiler text is just showing as normal text. Growing pains!
