I am HUGE Star Trek fan. ST played a big factor in my parents hooking up, as they were both fans back in the day; how nerdy is that? I grew up with TNG, and have so many of those Playmates toys its not even funny. I've read countless reference books and novels, and even had a uniform when I was a kid. I was a total Trek geek. Anyway, as I grew older and established a social life for myself, I've found many open Star Wars fans, but very very few Trek people, so naturally I grew away from my Trek roots and started becoming the uber-Star Wars nerd who posts before you today. DS9 re-runs got me re-interested in Trek a couple years back, as it is an EXCELLENT show (btw, add "Children of Time" to Jay's list; it's DS9's "City on the Edge of Forever"), however I draw the line there. VOY and ENT had great potential, but were incredibly dissapointing. As for the movies, 2, 3, and 4 make a wonderful trilogy, 6 is great too, 5 is really underrated, the Director's Cut of TMP helps a lot, and FC is in a class of its own in the TNG era, as unfortunately their other 3 films failed to deliver. And I'm in total agreement with you all about taking a hiatus. Voyager shouldn't have debuted until Deep Space Nine concluded, and they should have taken it from there. Now, we'll just have to wait and see if Trek has anything left in the tank after 10 films and over 500 episodes.
