Is there any order to watch Star Trek in or can I just pick any and roll with it. Will I be missing any important information?
Nah, no order.
When the shows bring in stuff from older shows, they explain it in episode, or you’ll figure out the gist of it from the framing, the writers themselves often hadn’t watched every single episode of the older shows.
I think SNW and LD are the only ones where the writers actually bothered to watch everything.
