Star Trek: Back Of The Envelope Calculation

February 9th, 2008

Star Trek The Original Series

3 seasons = 79 episodes

Star Trek The Next Generation

7 seasons = 176 episodes

Star Trek Deep Space Nine

7 seasons = 176 episodes

Star Trek Voyager

7 seasons = 172 episodes

Star Trek Enterprise

4 seasons = 98 episodes

Star Trek Movies

10 movies

701 episodes total x about 600 mb per episode = 420.6 GB

Plus 10 movies x about 1 GB per movie = 430.6 GB

Conclusion

Definitely doable, but I may never emerge from the nerdiness of 721 hours of Star Trek, enough to last two years if I watched an episode a day.

I really loved Trek, but it's 'Spaceballs' compared to BSG.

The signal to noise ratio of interesting thought provoking Trek content vs 'Neelix gets trapped in the holodeck with Luxanna Troi and Reg Barclay' - type situations was just too high.

(I do realize there was no such episode, and that Neelix never even made it to a-Quad)

Trek was good in the early 90's, but that would be a horrible waste of time watching all those old episodes (especially those pre-7/9 Voyager episodes!)

Really looking forward to the movie though. :)

What, no love for "Star Trek the Animated Series"?

That would add 22 episodes...roughly 11 more hours of programming.

But seriously, the amount of Star Trek programming boggles the mind. The combined episode count pretty much warrants all that convention craziness...

This is definitely the completist part of me, musing on how much storage space it would take to amass all this stuff, let alone watch it all. I actually haven't watched any of the series completely, past the Original Series.

As a general critique of Star Trek - each series past TOS had at least one character that bugged me, hence keeping me from enjoying each series to its fullest. In Next Gen it was Wesley, Deep Space Nine either Odo or those annoying Ferengi, Voyager it was Neelix, and Enterprise - well the captain, and TPol (what the heck was up with that decontamination gel). The Xindi space thing was the last straw.

If I ever do watch all this stuff I'll likely go in chronological order, meaning I'll start with Next Generation. I guess I can add watching every star trek episode ever made to my list of things to do before I die :)

I spent the first couple years of my marriage acquainting my wife with DS9 (which she didn't care for) and Voyager (which she liked). I was actually surprise by how much I like Voyager the second time around. There really is some good storytelling there.

I haven't seen all of Enterprise, though the 4th season really picked up with the "mini-arc" format and much better story concepts. Too bad they didn't get the chance to experiment with that for another season or two. The final episode, though, is complete and utter not-even-a-pretense-at-effort garbage. Worse even than The Outrageous Okona.
