Personal favorite is the CoDominium arc/universe containing a bunch of crappy pulp tier SF as well as the two Mote in God's Eye books. Niven and Pournelle are great.
Feels kind of silly to include Star Trek given that it no longer exists. A major theme throughout the many renditions is that going back in time erases the other possible reality. Plenty of Next Gen and Voyager episodes covers this. Conveniently the new movies went back and erased everything Star Trek ever, and I can't imagine anyone thinking that Enterprise followed by the new movies is a good story arc.

And yes, it's set in the original universe. For some dumb reason they're only airing the first episode on broadcast TV then it's some streaming-only thing. "Prepare to bring up the Google, Number One."

You mean aside from the new series that's airing later this year? :)
