Ultimate Chronological Star Trek Viewing Guide

The 23rd Century

Early 2230s:

An adaptation of an (actual) ancient African legend, told to a young girl we will meet again later as an adult, this is our first “Short Treks” episode. These mini-episodes are not tied to any specific time or place in the Star Trek franchise and will appear occasionally throughout this list.

SHO Season 2, episode 5 - The Girl Who Made the Stars

2233 - A sidenote about universes/timelines:

There are two main “universes” in the Star Trek franchise: the Kelvin timeline (consisting of three feature films) and the Prime timeline (covering everything else). This year, 2233, is when events occur which split the universe into the Kelvin and Prime timelines. For now, we will stay with the Prime timeline in this viewing order, but keep in mind the Kelvin timeline for later. Note that there is a third universe, the "Mirror" universe, and occasional alternate timelines. However, for simplicity, our visits there will not be separated from the Prime episodes.

2233 (Prime):

The USS Kelvin flies through space, exploring strange new worlds.

Nothing happens.

All is well.

2239:

SHO Season 1, episode 3 - The Brightest Star

2254:

After a quick Short Trek in which we meet a young ensign reporting to his new ship, we reach the very first Star Trek content ever produced: The Cage, dating from 1964-65. Rejected by NBC for being "too cerebral," studio owner Lucille Ball convinced the network to give the show another chance at a pilot. While much of The Cage’s footage was reused in a later episode, "The Menagerie," we recommend that you don't skip either one. The character of Captain Pike becomes highly significant shortly, and both episodes offer valuable insights into him.

Viewing notes: When referring to the original 1960s "Star Trek," this guide (and most others) use the abbreviation TOS (The Original Series) to distinguish it from later series. TOS is available in two versions: the classic version as it aired in the 60s and an enhanced version with updated CGI effects. Unlike Star Wars, the remastered versions do not alter the stories in any way. Therefore, the version you choose to watch is a matter of personal preference, and we do not make any official recommendation.

SHO Season 2, episode 1 - Q&A

TOS Season 0, episode 1 - The Cage

2256:

We now begin Star Trek: Discovery, which is the seventh Star Trek series produced, but only the second series chronologically. It also is the first series to significantly revamp the visual designs, departing from the previous assumption that the 23rd century looked the same as it did in the original 1960s series. Discovery updates the designs, and we are trusted to accept that they have "always" looked this way, affecting uniforms, ships, alien makeup, and more. The Klingons, in particular, received a dramatic redesign, though it was significantly backtracked after the first season. These are not continuity issues, and should not be viewed as such, though we could certainly nitpick details if we chose to.

DIS Season 1, episode 1 - The Vulcan Hello

DIS Season 1, episode 2 - Battle of the Binary Stars

DIS Season 1, episode 3 - Context is for Kings

DIS Season 1, episode 4 - The Butchers Knife Cares Not for the Lambs Cry

DIS Season 1, episode 5 - Choose Your Pain

DIS Season 1, episode 7 - Magic to Make the Sanest Man go Mad

2257:

DIS Season 1, episode 8 - Si Vis Pacem, Para Bellum

DIS Season 1, episode 9 - Into the Forest I Go

Watching the franchise in this order presents a quirk in episode 10, where the USS Defiant is, to avoid spoilers, somewhere it shouldn't be. Our heroes don't know why, but the show assumes that we know the explanation. However, don't worry about it. We will get to the explanation when we reach 2268, but In the meantime, it is entirely unimportant to how the story in Discovery unfolds.

2258:

I will avoid spoilers, but after watching the episode listed just above, it will be clear why we are pausing our viewing of Discovery, even though there are more episodes left to watch. We will come back to the series at the appropriate time and continue watching.

SHO Season 2, episode 2 - The Trouble with Edward

SHO Season 2, episode 3 - Ask Not

2259:

We now move away from the USS Discovery to follow Captain Pike, back in command of the Enterprise, for an absolutely delightful series that, while modern, deliberately throws back to 1960s Trek in many ways, not the least of which being the first chronological appearances of some characters we will continue to see for many years to come.

SNW Season 1, episode 1 - Strange New Worlds

SNW Season 1, episode 2 - Children of the Comet

SNW Season 1, episode 3 - Ghosts of Illyria

SNW Season 1, episode 4 - Momento Mori

SNW Season 1, episode 7 - The Serene Squall

SNW Season 1, episode 8 - The Elysian Kingdom

Pay attention to the alternate future laid out in this next episode; we will see how the timeline actually plays out later in this chronology.

SNW Season 1, episode 10 - A Quality of Mercy

SNW Season 2 episode 1 - The Broken Circle

SNW Season 2, episode 2 - Ad Astra per Aspera

SNW Season 2, episode 3 - Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow

SNW Season 2, episode 4 - Among the Lotus Eaters

SNW Season 2, episode 5 - Charades

SNW Season 2, episode 6 - Lost in Translation

We are skipping episode 7 here, as it is a crossover with a show we won’t get to for a hundred years or and won’t make sense unless you are already familiar with Lower Decks. Don’t worry, we’ll be coming back to it later.

SNW Season 2, episode 8 - Under the Cloak of War

SNW Season 2, episode 9 - Subspace Rhapsody

SNW Season 2, episode 10 - Hegemony

2265:

Here’s that second Original Series pilot Lucille Ball fought for, now with (most) of the classic 1960’s Star Trek crew. Still no Dr. McCoy, Uhura, or Chekov, Kirk has a different middle initial, the uniforms and sets still aren’t quite right… but we are for the first time recognizably in the world of the show that started it all.

TOS Season 1, episode 3 - Where No Man Has Gone Before

2266-2267:

Just as a reminder - the original Star Trek may appear less advanced in terms of its designs and aesthetic compared to the other Star Trek shows we have watched so far, but this is only due to the limitations of television production at the time. This is not “true” in story terms - the technology and society in TOS should be read as on par with Discovery and Strange New Worlds, which all take place at roughly this point in the timeline.

To fully appreciate the development of the show, it's recommended to watch TOS in production order instead of by air date. In general, don’t get too hung up on continuity with the rest of the franchise in these early days - they take quite a while to pin some stuff down that the rest of the franchise takes for granted.

TOS Season 1, episode 10 - The Corbomite Maneuver

TOS Season 1, episode 6 - Mudd's Women

TOS Season 1, episode 5 - The Enemy Within

TOS Season 1, episode 1 - The Man Trap

TOS Season 1, episode 4 - The Naked Time

Next up we revisit the events of SNW’s season 1 finale, “A Quality of Mercy”, and see how differently events play out with Kirk in command of the Enterprise.

2269-2270:

We finish Kirk's Five-Year Mission with Star Trek: The Animated Series. Is TAS in continuity? Debatable. In later years, Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry liked to say it was not, but later works in the franchise certainly seemed to disagree, with Enterprise’s Vulcan arc as well as the first of the Kelvin films borrowing heavily from Yesteryear, Robert April appearing in Strange New Worlds, numerous references in Lower Decks, etc., so I see no reason not to consider it as canon as everything else. Besides, “La mort de l'auteur” means we don’t have to listen to Gene.

2273:

Movie time! Some background here. Paramount was planning on making a new network, and intended a new Star Trek series, "Star Trek Phase II", to anchor it. Scripts were written, sets were built, and actors cast. When network plans fell through, and Star Wars became a hit, they decided to take one of those scripts and streeeeeeeeeetch it out into a movie.

So…. Is it way too long for the amount of plot it has? Yes, though it has its charms. And isn’t it basically a retread of Nomad from the episode "The Changeling" anyway? It is. And hey, isn’t that the pedophile Dad from 7th Heaven? mm-hmm. Anyway, if you have access to it I recommend the Director’s Cut, in which pacing is much improved and some particularly flawed effects are redone, but either version works story-wise.

MOV Star Trek: The Motion Picture

2285:

Following The Motion Picture, the franchise underwent a significant transformation with the release of the next film, adopting a different style and tone that many, including the author, believe resulted in the best Star Trek movie to date.

MOV Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan

MOV Star Trek III: The Search for Spock

Ephraim and Dot ’s continuity really makes no sense anywhere, but it’s cute so who cares. Anyway, this seemed the BEST place to put it.

SHO Season 2, episode 4 - Ephraim and Dot

2286:

MOV Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home

Or, to use the all-but-official secondary title, “The One With The Whales”

2287:

MOV Star Trek V: The Final Frontier

2293:

A criminally underrated film.

MOV Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country

Sidenote: The opening sequence of the film. Star Trek: Generations takes place here, a few months after The Undiscovered Country. I very much do not expect people to watch things in pieces, but as there IS a clear delineation in the film, you can, optionally, watch the beginning of Generations and stop when the “78 years later” caption comes up. Or you can just not worry about it, and watch the whole film in one sitting when we reach 2371.

The 24th Century

2364:

We now jump forward 70-odd years to see a far more established Federation, and perhaps the most popular and beloved Star Trek series of all, Star Trek - The Next Generation. That said, it is extremely rough at the outset, so you’ll need to give it some time. I promise you, the series gets a lot better later on and absolutely earns the affection it still receives to this day.

2365:

This season introduces the most popular and iconic character of the entire Star Trek franchise: Riker’s Beard. Fun fact: The writers strike this year means that not only does this slightly shorter season feature an actual Golden Girls-style clip show, the producers had to dip into episodes written for the early 70’s Phase II series that was never made. Will Riker and Troi were ALWAYS a revamp of the original plans for Will Decker and Ilia, but the season opener was literally written in the 70s with Ilia in the place of Troi.

The series doesn’t truly find its footing until Season 3, but “The Measure of a Man” is widely considered TNG’s first “great” episode, a sign of many more to come. There is an extended version available of this episode - worth choosing if you have access to it, but not a problem if you do not.

We now reach my personal favorite series: Star Trek - Deep Space Nine, which will eventually feature Star Trek’s first significant attempt at serialized storytelling. Like other shows in the franchise, it has a slow start, but once it gets going it’s a real joy. To stay in the correct chronological order, we’ll be bouncing between TNG and DS9, and later DS9 and Voyager, though we make occasional minor tweaks to avoid interrupting story arcs too much.

2371:

Like Phase II was intended to do, and Discovery does again a few decades later, Star Trek - Voyager is launched at this point as the centerpiece of a new network: the short-lived UPN, home of Shasta McNasty and The Secret Diary of Desmond Pfieffer. Note that Voyager episode orders, particularly in season two, jump around a bit due to some production weirdness.

Don’t dismiss this as a “kids show” though, it’s quite complex, quite good, and quite Star Trek.

SHO Season 2, episode 6 - Children of Mars

2387:

Okay. Deep breath. In 2387 the Romulan sun goes supernova, devastating the Romulan empire. A failed attempt by Starfleet to help stop this accidentally sends the Romulan mining vessel Narada back to 2233, creating an alternate reality known as the “Kelvin Universe” or “Kelvinverse.” We'll be watching the three movies set in this universe next. It's essential to note that this new timeline DOES NOT replace the original “Prime” timeline, which still exists as it always has and to which we will be returning shortly.

2233 - (Kelvinverse):

The USS Kelvin is destroyed by the Narada, newly arrived from the Prime Universe 2387. This begins the divergence from the Prime timeline.

2258 - (Kelvinverse):

Too action-oriented for some, and plot-holes galore, 2009’s “Star Trek” is not what I would want Star Trek to be all the time, but is a quite fun alternate take on the original series, with some great acting and effects. Don’t overthink the chronology and details of this batch of movies though, or you’ll start seeing all kinds of things that make no sense.

MOV Star Trek (2009)

2259 - (Kelvinverse):

MOV Star Trek Into Darkness

2263 - (Kelvinverse):

MOV Star Trek Beyond

This film, while a solid improvement on Into Darkness, did not perform to expectations, meaning that the long-promised fourth film has been in-and-out of production for years, and I cannot say if we’ll ever see the Kelvin timeline again.

Therefore, we now return to the Prime timeline, already in progress.
