Poll Is the Trek that you grew up with also your favorite Trek?

I grew up with Berman-era Trek from the ‘90s to the mid-00s, and DS9 became by favourite. However, my current fave is Lower Decks.

And I think its important, as it shows that I am not stuck in the past wishing for the good old days. I actually can like the new stuff that is made.

 

No.

TOS was my growing up show. DS9 is still my favourite.

 

I’m the opposite. DS9 was my growing up show, but TOS is my favourite.

 

Yes and no.

For me, it's complicated, because TOS is what I watched first and for the longest time that was all I saw, so I consider that the Trek I grew up with, even though I technically have grown up with NuTrek (Kelvin and beyond), which I am not a big fan off.

I've since seen all the Trek's (at least most of the way through), and TOS is still my Star Trek.

 

I grew up with TNG, but I think DS9 is my favorite Trek.

So, no, but in a slightly broader sense, yes - my favorite Trek is still the generation of Trek I grew up with, but not the exact series (even though TNG still ranks high on my list).

 

I lean more towards particular episodes.
The Thaw, Dead Stop, Doomsday Machine, Duet….

In-space episodes I favor over most planet-side visits with pesky locals.

 

Kind of?, I guess the Trek I “grew up” with would be the Abrahams movies/early discovery. The Abrahams movies definitely got me into Trek, and since TOS is my favourite it got me into that crew/group of relationships. I don’t love the Abrahams movies as Trek (i do like them as films though), but they’re so accessible and were the easiest entry point so i’m glad for them.

 

I grew up with "TNG", and while I also like "Voyager", and even some of "DS9", Picard and crew remain my favorite iteration of the franchise.

 

i grew up with TNG but I think DS9 is my favourite

 

I didn't grow up with any Star Trek (lack of interest), but given how nostalgic I can be about other stuff it's probably a safe bet that TNG would be my favorite still (it would have been the Trek I grew up with, it aired when I was a kid), lol.

 

I grew up with TNG and loved it, when I turned about 20 DS9 became my favorite Trek show

 

The first Star Trek series I watched was Voyager, but my favourite currently ST:SNW.

 

I grew up with Berman era. TNG was my first Trek. I have a soft spot for TNG but is it my favourite, still? Probably not. Ds9, SNW, Ent (mainly last two seasons), Lower Decks, and Pro are probably my top 5 trek shows.

 

I was born in 84. I can't remember a time when I wasn't aware of TOS and TNG. TOS is my favorite Star Trek series, I'd watch reruns all the time, and the movies were a big part of my childhood.

 

TNG started my Trek journey and remains my favourite to this day.

In the UK, I believe it was 6.45pm on a Wednesday on BBC2 after The Simpsons. Perhaps someone can remember if that's correct? I did have a few videos that I watched often, but you couldn't beat finding a new episode to watch on tv

 

I grew up with TNG, DS9 etc.... they are my favourites, but so too is TOS.

I don't care for anything after Voyager really. I think it gradually lost its distinctiveness.

 

I'm a first-generation fan, but I have to say my favorite Trek series is Lower Decks. Absolutely brilliant.

 

Yes and no... I started with TOS in 1987, followed TNG from 1990 to 1994 and the other shows during their respective runs.

While TOS was my first and I still love it, I can't say that I like TNG or DS9 any less. The three shows share spot #1 for me.

And although the point could be made that I was still in the process of growing up during the 90s, I'd say I like PIC and SNW more than VOY ... and LD too, I guess.
