To get more discussion going about Trek, I'm thinking of making an episode-or-movie-a-day discussion thread, going more or less in order from the beginning. So this would mean starting with "Where No Man Has Gone Before" (pushing "The Cage" back and combining it with "The Menagerie"), and following the episode order as laid out on Memory Alpha.

Hopefully this'll also inspire people to rewatch Trek, even "Spock's Brain" and "Code of Honor" and "Profit and Lace" and "Threshold" and (god help us) "These Are the Voyages."

The big question right now is, how much interest is there in gettin' real nerdy here?

As if this is a question! TOS, of course! I may be biased... However, starting from the start is always nice. Plus, I think there's a lot to discuss in how TOS was simultaneously very progressive for its time but still held back by some restrictive traditional views. Considering the current social climate, I think that we might be able to benefit a lot from having those talks. Plus, eventually we'll make it to 'Squire of Gothos', and that's one of my favorite episodes! Or we can avoid this potentially divisive stuff and start with Voyager like crazy people.

And when we get to "Plato's Stepchildren," lord help us. First televised interracial kiss, but man, what even was that.
