Hi, Love the site and reading all the posts from people passionate about all the different Star Trek series. I am curious though, are there any other people here that love "all things ST"?
Growing up I remember "playing Star Trek" at recess even as young as KG and 1st grade (that would have been in 1969-1970) so early on I enjoyed ST. I watched it when ever I could and by 4th grade I even had action figures, a model of the enterprise, a tricoder?, and a communicator in my room.
Be it girls or age I slowly stepped away from ST as I got older but would always watch a re-run if I caught it on TV. I just no longer would "seek out" the play times or stations of the re-runs. (of course only had 3 channels back then and 1 fuzzy UHF channel) LOL
Later in life I was overjoyed to hear about the movies coming out! I loved ST the Motion Picture and was not bored at all. I was just glad to see a "new star trek" project again! (I enjoyed the cartoons as well when I was younger). I loved all the movies Just because it was a Star Trek movie. Star Wars was fun to watch, it had cool stories and cool characters, but is was NOT Star Trek. Hans Solo was cool, but he was no Kirk! The M.-falcon is cool, but its no Enterprise! So while never shunning or hating other Sci-Fi movies, I just always loved ST more.
When TNG came out I was in Europe and did not get to see the early episodes and just like the original would never seek it out, but would be glued to the TV whenever I happened upon an episode. At first I thought I would not like it (because all the characters were different), but the Enterprise was still there, so I figured its OK with me too! Love TNG now as much as TOS. Unlike TOS though, I never saw every single episode of TNG (working on that now). DS9 and Voyager came out later, and was worried because the people would be different and No Enterprise. To my own shock though, I enjoyed both of those too!
I have all 7 seasons of TNG now at my home and I am watching an episode or three every day and loving it!!!! There are soooooo many shows I never even saw that it makes me feel like a kid on Christmas everyday :)
I cannot wait to find all the episodes of Voy. & DS9 to watch them as well; There are prob more then a 100 episodes of each of those that I have never seen.
When it comes to Enterprise, I have never watched even 1 show yet!! But I know in my heart, that I will LOVE it too!
WHY???
Because I love ALL THINGS ST! (I don't know why, but I just do! No show rather good or bad has made me change my mind).
Are there others on this site that feel the same way?
Or
Are most people here divided into one favorite series or another?
Well thanks for taking the time to read all this!
Star Trek Forever,
USS Dragon

First, USS Dragon, you can edit your own posts - just click on the "edit" button in the bottom right corner of the posting box. You can't do this into infinity, but you can edit for a day or two after posting.

Second...well, I don't love all things Trek, but I love most things Trek. I like all of the shows except ENT (good premise, didn't like the execution, but I'm told it got better eventually, so maybe someday I'll try it again) and the animated series. I have liked some of the movies, including the new one, but I must say I haven't loved any of them. But yeah, you can definitely find people who like more than just one series.
 
welcome to ye noobie! although you may find many fans are truly fanatic about some of the series a well rounded trekfan loves them all and can find something good in every movie and every series. try some of the books too - that's a whole new universe waiting to be discovered! I do rather envy you and your shiny newness! enjoy!

I see that now, (the edit button) thank you :)
I think I never really realized how much I loved ST until recently. The new movie (rather people like it or hate it) has rekindled a dormat fire inside me:bolian:

TY! I forgot to mention the novels, I did read a bunch of those as well. Back in the mid-90s I had a job where I sat on a train 4hrs a day and I started reading novels to pass the time. 85% of those books were ST books. I really enjoyed them!!
The best fun about being "Shiney new" and not following each show "religiously" over the years, is now that I am watching the whole series' on box DVD sets, I am seeing many shows that I never ever saw! How cool is that? I am in ST heaven right now:bolian:
