Yeah, I was a Star Trek fan before Star Wars. My cousin had those Star Trek dolls and the bridge playset. Loads of fun. Of course the dolls and playset came out during the run of the animated series.

I currently have the entire Star Trek library on DVD (minus the original series. I refused to pay $30.00 for two episodes per DVD). I'm just waiting for Voyager seasons 4-7 to come out, the original series is coming out in season sets so I'll be getting those, and next year the animated series is coming to DVD and Enterprise. Hopefully when all is said and done I will have the complete Star Trek DVD library. Although, I'm not too thrilled with Enterprise. I watched the pilot and it just didn't do it for me. Maybe I was just tired of Trek. I'm one of those people that feel that it's time for Trek to hang it up. 10 movies, and 6 TV series is enough. WAY too much if you ask me. While I did like Next Generation, and loved Voyager (don't bash my head in), I hadn't seen much of DS9 until it came out on DVD but I ended up liking it. It took some getting used to, but in the end it wasn't a bad series. The original series I have trouble watching now. It just looks so dated. I know that's part of its charm, but I can only watch a handful of episodes at a time. It's not that I don't like the original, it's just that after all of the 'high tech' Trek that I've seen since 1979, it's just hard to watch those old shows.

I have favorite episodes from each series (except Enterprise and the animated series). Actually too many to mention. For me, my raking of the series is like this

Star Trek
The Next Generation
Voyager
Deep Space Nine
Animated & Enterprise (tied for last place)
