Here's the watch order for my big Star Trek project. My views on continuity echo those of website Ex Astris Scientia.
Officially, this is a rewatch of the first 50 years of Trek, and a second attempt to get through the last 10 years—previously foiled by canon rage, tone issues, and a weak stomach.

Just over a year ago, I started rewatching ALL of Star Trek, going by in-universe chronological order.
I started with Enterprise, watching one season a week. Generations, a 2-hour movie, took me...over 9 months? That can't be right.
Well, anyhow. It was...fun.

A ★★★★ review of Star Trek: Generations (1994)
Why I watched: This was part of a rewatch of the ENTIRE Star Trek franchise…going more or less by in-universe chronology. And there's a big timeskip early in this movie. So after finishing Star Trek V...

Returning to the Delta Quadrant was unexpectedly rough. Season 1 of Star Trek: Voyager (VOY) isn't the lowest-rated of this rewatch, but it was the most disappointing.
Missed potential, questionable decisions, and too much body horror. Also: 5 holodeck episodes but no power to replicate coffee???

Updated the fangame tracker, made some long-overdue Discord server updates, did some work on 48H in anticipation of streaming soon, poked at a blog post that's been stalled for years, and that's just the Mega Man stuff.
