Star Trek Meme: Day 15

Day 15 - How did you get into Star Trek?

As a child in the 70s, I watched tv. And liked the original series a lot. Then I became a sci fi obsessed teenager in the 80s and an equally sci fi and fantasy fond adult in the 90s, and around the time TNG was in its third season, I discovered fandom. As a child, I didn't have conversations about Star Trek, nor did I feel the urge to. And wile I was sad at the end of Wrath of Khan, I didn't try to to find out whether there would be another movie, or if Spock would be back. It simply didn't occur to me. Therefore, despite my affection for TOS, I see TNG as the series which got me into Star Trek in the sense of making me a fan who sought out other fans, tried to get their hands on English language original episodes which hadn't been broadcast in Germany yet, discovered there was such a thing as fanfiction and went to their very first convention. When I had my very first Kirk versus Picard debate, I knew I was done for. :)

This is awesome. This is the first post in this series that I read and I could not help but go back and read the others. I am a HUGE Star Trek fan as well but not really in on the fandom per say. I got into Star Trek through TNG about three years ago after joining the RCN. A lot of people in the Navy watch Star Trek because it is like watching our job in the future.

I look forward to the rest of your posts. But what of others in the series? What do you think of DS9 and VOY? How about the new movie series?

As you can see from the other entries, I love DS9. (Overall, it's probably the best of the Trek shows.) With VOY I like parts but this was when I felt the stress of having written ST for 16 years in a row had been getting to the writers, and thus I didn't watch the complete show (I gave up during the last season).

New movie series: enjoyed the first installment enmormously, had problems with the second one though I liked all the scenes involving Uhura.
