3 disc special edition $23.99 At Best Buy. This is the new Star Trek movie.

Yep, I'm definitely picking it up tonight!

You guys are too young to be into Star Trek. I remember watching the original TV series, 1967- 1969.

Me too, with one of my older brothers. I didn't get a lot of the meaning, but I watched it. The Gorn stands out in my memory, I'm sure because it looked like a dinosaur/monster, but it didn't scare me, it was probably just something I could relate to more than other things on the show.

Like many others, I got into it in my early teens from syndication reruns.

Mine is on the way from Amazon. I started watching the original in the early 70s in re-runs. SF Bay Area it was on channel 2 weekdays at 6:00PM, and we really did watch it every day.

Its funny, I'm an old fart and fan of the original. I hated Next Generation. Hated it. Voyager was okay with the characters but the premise - trying to get back home from the other side of the galaxy - turned me off. And Deep Space Nine was okay if a tad claustrophobic.

More recently, I watched the debut in the early 2000s of "Enterprise." I hated it. Stop watching with the second show. Ironically, I've become of fan of the "Enterprise" series with the repeats on DirectTV Hi-Def. I've been DVR'ing them because them come on in the daytime while I'm at work. Almost every night, I come home from work and watch the two newly recorded episodes, complete and without any commercials. I really like it. Hated it when it was new, but love it now.

But I'll never like "Generations." Jean-Luc Picard, his second in command - can't even remember his name - was repulsive, Whoopi Goldberg, that omnipotent guy who would pop in almost every week to cause trouble, the blind guy with the barrett over his eyes like a visor, and that android character. Generations was just awful. The worst "Trek" TV series by far and the worst movies too.

Generations had a few good episodes ("Yesterday's Enterprise," a few of the Borg shows, and a few others), but overall I wasn't a fan.

I thought the last couple of seasons of DS9 were pretty good, once the war started. I hated Voyager, and Enterprise I could take or leave. I know the designs weren't really canon, but I liked the look of the ships for the most part. The whole Xindi/time-travel storyline bugged me, but I did like the characters, and they'd have a good episode every now and then. I also give them credit for trying to explain the different Klingon looks in the various shows.

Edit: More on topic, I'll add that I think I'm one of the few who weren't that thrilled with this movie. It looked good, and had some good action, but I felt that the story had a lot of holes in trying to move things along so quickly. I won't go into details here to avoid spoilers, but the problems I had with it had nothing to do with deviations from the original show, but more just stuff that didn't work within the story.

You hated Voyager, I hated Generations. The only thing worth mentioning in that whole series was the Borg. By far, the Borg were the most intimidating enemy in the Star Trek universe. "Resistance is futile. You will be assimilated."

Best single opposition character from all of the "Trek" series: My vote goes to the original Star Trek episide "Space Seed" with Ricardo Montalban as Khan. What a memorable character. When they brought him back many years later in "Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan," he was even better. Montalban played the role with relish. I still remember his lines and how enthusiastically he delivered them: "I will chase him round the moons of Nibia, and round Perdition's flames before I give him up!" "He tasks me. He tasks me, and I shall have him!" Great stuff.

Yep, Kahn/Ricardo Montalban made a great villain, and that added a lot to the other qualities of WoK.

I watched them as well but as re-runs of course. I think I was 5 or 6 years old when I saw my first episode.
