2 episodes left. I've now seen TNG, DS9, and VOY. Next should I got back and watch TOS or TAS? Or boldly go forward and watch Enterprise? I've never heard anyone mention Enterprise.

Watch Enterprise. It's a divisive show in the community, mostly because it made a decision to be "sexier" and then got dark in response to 9/11, not to mention the whole theme song debacle or the must skip series finale...

However, there is also a lot of good Trek in there and some insight into humanity post First Contact but pre Federation. You owe it to yourself as a fan to at least give it a chance.

    Why should one skip the series finale..? I'm in the last couple of episodes and indeed considering just skipping to the next series. But I've watched everything up until this

    It's just awful. The second to last episode includes a good little speech from Archer that really works as a bookend of the show. Then the last episode completely crashes and burns trying to bookend the entirety of 90s Trek. If it's your first time, you kinda have to watch it, but just know a lot of people (myself included) don't consider it canon and skip it on every rewatch. It's that bad.

    When you say sexy, does that only mean women? If you tell me there are nude male aliens I'll start right now before even finishing Voyager.

    It's probably more evenly split than VOY. The show builds in a reason for everyone to get semi-naked and it leads to some pretty egregious scenes for the male 18-49 demographic, but there are plenty of cases with shirtless or underwear clad men too. Everyone on the show is attractive and fit even by TV standards.

    Do you mean straight male demographic? In my universe, all sexualities are assumed gay unless otherwise specified. I don't want to get all thirsty just to be surprised by stout, intelligent, fertile bodies that deserve to be clothed and leading the country.

    That being said, your contribution has determined the course and is greatly appreciated.
