I'm a moderate fan of the Next Generation... I'd like to watch through Voyager again... It was interesting, but I was too young to really enjoy watching it.

I only like the ones with James T. Kirk, and Spock, they're hillarious. The newer ones remind me of a soap opera sometimes.

The only one episode I saw was super bored at the time, had everyone in all white and blondes babes everywhere. It was like a sex cult, and for the smallest offense I think the little kid like ran away or something he was punished or something. They killed people with shot injections. Blah blah blah Star Trek guys tried to persuade them that for the smallest punishment should have a governement or something..

I have all the DVD box sets for The Next Generation and I'm slowly watching through all of them. I didn't watch them when they were on TV, so I'm catching up a bit
After I have got through these, I will get all the Voyager ones and maybe get the other series later. But NOT Enterprise- I watched all of that on TV but it's not worth buying on DVD.

I love star trek, wouldn't call myself a trekky but really enjoyed the generations and voyager series.

Deep space nine wasn't really that great, too much routine for my liking but the interaction between all the genre's is nice and many episodes will link to the bigger picture.

Fav's are all Borg episodes, Que episodes, those cheesy 70's original episodes with funny looking monsters almost macabre feeling and classic one liners "engage" "make it so" haha lol I am an uber nerd ;|

I watched the original series when I was much younger and liked it then. I liked TNG and most of the Voyager episodes. I don't like the soap opera parts that much. I didn't like DS9 much except for the funny antics of the Ferengi. I didn't see much of Enterprise because I missed them!

How to answer.... YES.


My husband and I have almost every episode of TNG on tape (hand-done before DVD), a lot of DS9, a few TOS.... one or two Voyagers... watched the first season of Ent, but stopped and have heard it was probably better that way..... have TNG and DS9 DVD's permanently on my wishlist, but I personally consider them too expensive to purchase them.... we'll probably do it anyway one day....

Have about 3 storage trunks worth of posters, Christmas ornaments, mugs, books, etc.... own all the movies on DVD (except for Nemesis).....

I saw The Wrath of Khan in the theater when I was 7 years old.... those VHS tapes are what kept us sane through college study sessions... they were always playing in the background...


and on and on....


BTW, the same can be said for us and Star Wars as well....


There's a reason my custom title was "Nerd Extraordinaire"

Yeah, my father got me to watch Star Trek. I really liked it and was a big fan of wesley crusher.. He was hawt!

I was even fun of a Star Trek fanclub in the Netherlands but gave that up.. was a waste of money.

My fiance also likes Star Trek and we are thinking of buying all the DVD boxes of the seasons.

I like TOS (airs on G4) and TNG. I never could get into the others. Well, I liked DS 9 a little.

Seen much of TOS back when I was a kid, later realised it was often hilarious. I have seen bits of the new spin-offs from time to time, they seem .. disturbingly bustier, which is often a Bad Omen for any series (true fans may want to correct me, though).

On the other hand, those with a dozen bucks to waste will want to purchase the astonishing _Spaced Out_ album (http://www.counterpoint-music.com/sp...pacedout.html), which never fails to crack me up, be it Leonard Nimoy's Highly Illogical, or our brave James Tiberius plodding through some Shakespeare with that selfsame charisma which led any form of female straight into his arms, tentacles wide open.

I don't watch the show too often because of being busy when they play it. However when I get the chance I love a good episode of Startrek the original or the Next Generation.

Wrath of Khan is one of my favourite movies of all time.

V o y a g e r It's the only series that got me really hooked up to Star Trek. I especially like the episode where the borg got owned by the Predator looking aliens. Species 8472 i think..

P.S. Jeri Ryan owns them allXD

I liked all of the Star Trek series except for Enterprise -- prequels are usually bad because they demonstrate lack of innovation and creativity in the producers and script writers. That's why Enterprise failed so badly... nothing really new or ground-breaking to see. There's rumor going around that the next Star Trek movie will be another Kirk/Spock prequel. If so, I won't be wasting my money on the ticket.

I've watched most of the Star Trek episodes up until Enterprise (it was total crap). It seems like Star Trek slowly fell apart after Gene Rodenberry(creator of star trek) died.

Yes, I watch all series, all movies, read the books, comics, and collect the annual Christmas ornament from Hallmark.
