Netflix

I've actually watched a couple episodes of the series, and I think my problem has always been starting in random spots, in random seasons. Maybe starting over from scratch could reinvigorate?

I guarantee if you watch a few episodes starting from the beginning you'll get hooked. There are some kickass episodes in the first season, and the characters are what make the show so amazing, particularly Picard, Data, Worf, and Geordi. As the characters develop, the show gets exponentially better.

For the record, I've never watched the original series, and it doesn't detract from TNG to not watch the original series as far as I can tell.

You should totally watch the old X-men cartoon from the 90s.
It's got over 5 seasons, and the second and third season are beyond superb.

The only two that tie in with each other, really, are TNG and DS9. Even that is a very loose connection.

Sounds like the MLP defense.

Also, D3V, check out MLP:FiM. Not on Netflix, but it's still in 1080 on youtube.
