How old were you when you saw your first ST ep

[edenprime]

I attempted to watch Star Trek when I was younger with my Dad. I'm pretty sure it was the original series.. However we didn't watch a lot of it as my sister would start arguing that she didn't want to watch it.

I've been able to properly start watching it this year - thanks to Netflix.

I was five, and it was September of 1966. "Man Trap"

 

[J.T.B.]

Three or four years old, I watched TAS Saturday mornings along with The Pink Panther, Speed Buggy and so on. I don't remember specific episodes, but I remember watching it.

I was about 6 and it was The Ultimate Computer, because I distinctly remember seeing four Enterprises on screen at once.

I was around 15 years old when one of our local stations started showing TOS in syndication. The first episode I saw was "The City on the Edge of Forever."

I would of been about 4, don't really remember what my first episode was. But I used to watch it on a Saturday afternoon. It came on tv apparently and I sat and watched the whole episode through. Something my parents tell I've never did before. Had awesome Christmas that year (77) as my parents bought me diecast Enterprise that fired torpedos (discs) from the front of it.

About 5, a rerun of Operation Annihilate! in 1979ish I remember it scaring me a little.

I was 5 years old in 1966 and the episode was "Charlie X". I remember it vividly (still) because it scared the crap out of me. It was the scene of the woman coming around the corner without a face; I've been a fan since! lol

 

[MANT!]

Age 5-- Sept 1966 "The Man Trap" on my parents RCA color TV.. That Salt Vampire haunted my dreams for years afterwards..

 

[OldManDoom]

Probably around '93...so I was five years old. My first Star Trek memory is seeing Data walk though a corridor on the Enterprise.

I don't know. Star Trek has always been a part of my life. I'm going to say before kindergarten, so, before I was 5.

The first episode I remember was "I, Mudd" and I remember watching it at my grandma's house. The scene in my memory was one of the times Mudd activated Stella. Even at that time, though, I know that was not my first Trek but I'd been watching it prior to that point.

I also remember seeing Logan's Run in the theater. That was released June 1976. I was 4 and turned 5 that November. I probably became a Trek fan about that same time.

I think I was about 10 when I first started watching TNG. It was the reruns that got me into start watching before the next current season started. I don't remember exactly which TNG episode I first saw.

 

[retroenzo]

I don't know the answer to this. I remember my grandmother watching episodes of Star Trek when I came home from junior school but I don't remember what episodes they were, and (shame on me) I found them quite dull as a very young child. I wanted to watch Knight Rider instead.

However I definitely remember renting a copy of Encounter at Farpoint shortly after it came out. I would have been 12.

Incidentally, in hindsight, I don't know how my gran could have been watching Trek at that time of day because I'm not aware of any UK station showing original Trek in the 1980s at around 3pm.

I was 6 or 7, so it had to be 1966-7. No idea what the episode was, but I remember that I liked the ship. I was more into Batman at the time, so I didn't pay a lot of attention.

 

[Albertese]

My first episode must have been in 1980 when I was an infant. My dad was 13 when Star Trek first aired and was a fan ever since, so he was watching reruns the whole time. My earliest TV memories (in fact, most of my earliest memories of all) involve reruns of Star Trek, Battlestar Galactica, Buck Rogers and M*A*S*H. (Also Falcon Crest, Dynasty and Dallas at my grandma's house.)

I watched TNG as it aired, and kept up with DS9 and Voyager a bit, but not religiously. I fell off the Enterprise wagon pretty early. There's still a lot of it I haven't seen.

Seven. I was in the hospital for a dislocated elbow. Saw TOS first, then at the end of my stay saw TNG.

Wow! How long were you in hospital???

 

[F. King Daniel]

It was 1990 when Next Gen came to England. I was 6.

Thanks, Mum.

A bit over three weeks, not quite twenty years. My arm was in traction because the dislocation and fractures.
