I just finished re-watching StarTrek; The next Generation with my husband on Netflix, but this time in marathon mode - we found it so much more enjoyable and were able to appreciate the intricacies and character development much more than watching it week to week.

An older series, and longer, like StarTrek TNG - with 7 seasons and 45 min an episode may become diluted after watching it weekly over 7 years - as the series did.

Many people don't consider TNG to be a very good StarTrek series and it can fall to the waist side when compared to the nostalgia of the original and the bright and shiny of DS9 or Voyager. But I found my self much more drawn to the series after watching episods back to back and seeing how well each episode was written and care taken to make each episode different while still maintaining plot and character development.

There is definitely something to be gained by marathon watching a series.
