yep. Watched all of it. More than once.
I can't wait!Peacefrog I envy you!
So much Trek ahead of you padawan.
From what I've seen of TOS so far, it's just too corny to take seriously, despite having pioneered many of the classic Trek ideas. I might watch it at some point for a laugh, but it will be hard to go back to TOS after having seen so much of what developed from it afterwards.
As for DS9, character driven stories don't interest me as a strong motivation to watch a scifi show. I have plenty of other shows for that. I watch scifi/Trek for the exploration and the classic scifi tropes, so the thought of a character driven show on a space station doesn't tickle my scifi bone. Maybe I'd love it, maybe not, I don't know. There are just other shows I'm more interested in watching at this stage before I get to DS9, that's all.![]()
I'd just like to follow up on this and say I am currently randomly watching through TOS, and I withdraw my opinion. I still think the entire presentation is cheesy and dated as hell, but I am finding it easy to look beyond that and see the stories behind that. Amok Time, Space Seed and Mirror, Mirror were my first episodes, and they far exceeded my expectations, and were just downright great episodes by any standard.![]()

I wager 15 quatloos that he is untrainable.

OK, just kidding![]()
Great to hear you're giving TOS a fair chance, and rightly enjoying it!
Wrong thinking is punishable. Right thinking will be as quickly rewarded![]()

I'll bet you credits to navy beans that he'll love it!
I've seen all the episodes and films repeatedly, I've read about 3/4 of the novels and comics
Wait a minute..
3/4 of the novels?!?!?!?!
According to my attempts to count this page there are approximately 600 books, leaving out manga and young adult. I would be terrified to count the comics.
Do you own them all? Can we see pictures?
I own about 400 novels. I haven't read them all yet, and there are others I don't own but read from the library. I guess if there are actually 600, the total amount I've read is around 2/3 (which is still quite impressive!). Most of mine are packed away in boxes at the moment, so no pictures I'm afraid.
Most of the comics came on the fantastic Star Trek Complete Comic Collection DVD, as well as a few free (legit) downloads. No space issues there! I've got loads of old Gold Key Trek annuals, and a few recent IDW TPB's too.
