Maybe not glamourous but it stands head and shoulders above any and all of its successor and spin off shows. “Next Generation” for example, was execrable.

Agreed! I ended up rooting for the Borg if only just to shut Picard up!

I’m with you. I still enjoy them when I can.

Agreed for the most part. I thought the 3rd, 4th, and 5th seasons were good overall. The rest not so much.

Absolutely. I gave some of the newer series a try, then very soon lost interest.

Quite true.

I became a fan in 1970 when the local station ran reruns at 3:30 pm, just as we were getting home from school.

In my opinion, Shatner added more to the sci-fi genre with Tekwars than anything else.

his work there put him in the same grade as Gibson or Dick.

Oh God, next generation I could not stand. I like to call it “Star trek the anal, politically correct generation”

WHAT? You didn’t like the fact of an obvious American commercial enterprise being helmed by a French named guy with a British accent who biggest delemas were whether or not to listen to Whoopi Goldbergs half assed advice?

#2 Watching “Next Generation” was like watching a university faculty meeting. Romulans attack? Attend a meeting.
Borg attack? Attend a meeting.
Only time Capt Picard got upset and did anything immediately was when the ship ran out of Earl Grey tea.
The Enterprise headed back to a Star base right away for more provisions.

Plus Wesley Crusher was onboard.
The only good thing about that was when they stranded him on the planet full of hostile indians....

Science Fiction is what it is.........You either like it or you don’t. If you like it, you take the good with the bad and just sit back and have fun with it............It ain’t that hard.

I would say, STNG was mediocre. But yes, STOS was the one I bought on DVD.

I also bought the James Blish books, and the first and second generation novels.
