So, I've been wanting to get more into the Star Trek franchise. What I've watched so far is the Kelvin movies (I know they're a seperate timeline), Lower Decks and SNW. I've now just started to watch TOS and wanted to check with you guys for a good watch order. I oriented myself around release order but moved things around to have stories that belong together directly together.

The order I'd go after is:

1. Original Series
2. Animated Series
3. Star Trek movies I-VI
4. Next Generation
5. TNG movie trilogy
6. Deep Space 9
7. Voyager
8. Enterprise
9. Discovery
10. Picard
11. Lower Decks
12. Prodigy
13. Strange New Worlds
14. Section 31
15. Starfleet Academy

I also found out about Short Treks. As I understand they're minisodes belonging to various other shows, should I watch those as I finish each respective series?

Did I forget anything? Anything I should change about this order?

So in Asylum Scarecrow was kinda crazy and maniacal, but in Knight they did a complete 180 on his character and made him this cold and calculating type. Why is that? Why not keep Scarecrow's established characterization or just not use Scarecrow as the main bad guy? Or at least give an explanation what changed him so drastically?
