UP NEXT
02 / PRIMARY MISSION
The route to Picard.
Follow the story in order. Check off each stop as you go; every captain sets their own pace.
NEXT MISSION / ON THE HORIZON
Deep Space Nine + Voyager
After the route to Picard, the watch journey heads toward Deep Space Nine and Voyager. A destination for later.
03 / OPTIONAL ROUTES
Side quests.
Extra context if you want it. These never hold up your route to Picard.
SIDE QUEST 01 / DISCOVERY
The Discovery detour.
Discovery Seasons 1–2 happen before Strange New Worlds; Season 2 brings Pike, Spock, and Una aboard. Seasons 3–5 leap far into the future and tell their own story. None of it is required before Picard.
SIDE QUEST 02 / ORIGINAL CREW
The TOS movies.
Skipping The Original Series show? These six films are a shorter Kirk-era route. Watch them before Generations if you want more time with the original crew; they are optional for the main Picard path.
04 / THE BIG PICTURE
Where everything fits.
A little chronological context. This is the in-universe order, not a required watch order.
