    B but I do have one figure and a book, I plan on reading more. Though I don't consider myself a Trekkie because I've only seen one show and don't understand any of the science-y technobabble.

    VOY has a reputation for having the most technobabble (followed by TNG?). So you started at the deep end.

    ^I suggest watching TNG after completing Voyager. They are the closest two series (with DS9 and TOS coming in second).

    I also planned to make the 100th poller a big deal but it looks like i missed it.

    I'm finished Voyager. I tried watching the TNG pilot while I was on a break from Voyager a while back. I was bored out of my mind.

    ^It gets much better throughout its run. At least watch the episodes that tie into Voyager (somewhat) like Best Of Both Worlds or a few Barclay episodes (the super-genius episodes).

    In the next few months I might give DS9 a try. It looks somewhat similar to Voyager.

    DS9 is awesome.

    One must have fortitude to endure pilots, they are rarely any reflection on what follows.

    Outside the technobabble, TOS is the one most like Voyager. In my opinion.

    Too cheesy for my taste. I'm sure it was great for it's time though.

    Mostly B. I've seen every episode of every series. I have a few Star Trek shirts and figures, but I don't collect any Star Trek items.

    It's great today. All of them are, to one degree or another.

    Hahaha. Same.

    I don't like collecting anything that has 'Star Trek' written on it though. All the things I have on display (ships, UFP flag etc) are only really recognizable to people who know of Trek. I even made sure my 'Federation, the First 150 Years' book was the edition without the Star Trek written at the top.
