I’m pretty sure it was Operation: Annihilate! In syndication.

The flying amoebas freaked me out as a young kid.

I didn't see this before I made my reply. That's funny. I wonder how many kids were introduced to trek via that.

TOS reruns in the 70s. Too old to remember which one but the first one I actively remember was Operation Annihilate. Those flying flapjacks were scary.

My sister preferred to call “hotcakes” thanks to a certain Lisa Douglas of Hooterville.

I remember one of them hitting Nimoy in the rear in the blooper reel. OMG how populal those were at Cons. Folks would ask for a repeat at the one I was with. My role in ConCom was such I got to program the 24 hr video we had running. 8hr VCR tapes were my salvation at night. I'd squeeze 24 eps of anime' into them or 9 eps of TOS by cutting out the standard into (not the teaser) and credits and then record the blooper into the tape until it ended. Good times. Thank goodness I had a 4 head VCR.

Best of Both Worlds - I was at university at the time it was on. Before this I never really watch much trek, as it was quite late at night. TNG was never treated with much respect when it aired here on channel 9 back in the 1990s.

Man Trap. I was seven. It was 1966.

Me too, it was the first episode to air on NBC, I was 9.

 

[Richard S. Claus]

The Wrath of Khan… I was maybe 6-7?

 

[Crisp Conditions]

"The Cloud Minders", early 1970s, well before TAS premiered. I was 4 or 5.

I feel like the correct answer for me may technically be TWOK but it doesn't feel like the complete story because I... might have seen bits of TOS reruns before that? Also I'm pretty sure I had a ST comic book in the late 70s. Maybe even an action figure. And the COTEOF fotonovel?

I remember seeing only brief parts of "Equilibrium" at 5, a lot of whole scenes, maybe most/whole episode or maybe not, of "Projections" and "The Q and the Grey" at 6 or 7, I think the first whole episode I watched/remember watching was probably "Macrocosm" or "Doctor Bashir, I Presume" at 7 and from then started watching increasingly regularly Voyager and Deep Space Nine.

Sometime in October 1973 on a Saturday night. WLVI Ch. 56 out of Boston. Devil in the Dark. I was 6 years old and hooked.

I was a WLVI 56 kid too! I think It was mid-to-late 70's, and I was very young. My first episode was definitely "Where No Man Has Gone Before" as I would guess that channel 56 started running episodes in production order. I was probably 4 years old.

Do you remember when they'd play 2 episodes in a row every day? Usually late afternoon/early evening. Great stuff back then!


First movie was TMP, the night it premiered on HBO. TWOK was the first theater experience.
