How much of the Star Trek universe have you watched?

Me, I've watched the original show multiple times and I've watched most of motion pictures. I've only watched the 90's series (Next Generation)one episode's worth.

I was a little kid who grew up in the 70's and every Sunday they'd air a rerun of Star Trek and I'd usually watch it. I was a little kid fascinated by outer space and Star Trek was about that. I really wanted space duels and dog fights and cool aliens, ST offered that a little but it was mostly plot and the effects were cheesy. ST wasn't even in the same universe as Star Wars when I saw that.

As I got older and saw the films I thought they were nice. In my 20's I started catching reruns and really getting into the science and the plots that they were experiencing. When I saw the Wrath of Kahn as a kid I thought it was ok but it wasn't until I got older that I felt that it was a great film.

For whatever reason I've just never had the interest or taken the time to watch any of the newer shows that have come out in the 90's or following decades. I've only seen the films up to number VI Undiscovered Country. I did see Star Trek (2009).

I love the original cast but never got into any of the other series.

What is the background with everyone else?

Really good list. I'm about 90% in line with you. It's interesting because so many of the more mature Trek fans (like you or me) did not think as highly about Voyager or Enterprise.

Enterprise did a great job with T'Pol and the Vulcans in general. We're also in a relatively small group of people the liked the intro music. I have to say I was mostly neutral about the intro as it aired. When I rewatched everything 2 years ago I found I really liked it.

As for Voyager, I think I have more favorite episodes from Voyager than any other. Your whole list to start (great episodes). One that you don't have on the list but is high on mine is Shattered. Voyager had many good Borg episodes and some of the best time travel/alteration episodes.

Seven was an outstanding character. I have a hard time choosing between Data and Seven as my favorite. It's not because she was a babe (that didn't hurt). Many of the best characters (for me) Data, T'Pol, Seven, and Spock, had to do with examining what it is to be human from different prospectives.

Always good to meet a fan with very similar tastes.
