I enjoyed the original Star Trek but never really got into the ones that followed.



@JYWilliams Welcome!🥰 It took awhile for me also, but my dear brother was and IS a HUGE fan, and I became one by default I suppose!😂

 

THANK you SO much for caring to share!🤗

I never got into the series.  Back then it seemed to be more of a boy thing.  As an adult, I've watched some of the movies but wouldn't necessarily call myself a fan.

Captain Kirk, the original was it for me. 

 

Never really got into any of the spin offs as I liked the original cast so much. 

 

Didn't start watching the show til it went into sindication. 



@AZfem Welcome!🥰 Yay! Another Kirk fan!!!✨

 

I never thought I would like the others, but once I began watching them, I was hooked!😁 The sets were more realistic, costumes were nicer, and the special effects were AMAZING, with excellent writing, directing and acting!

 

If you are ever bored and looking for something fresh, I suggest giving Star Trek Next Generation with the sexy captain Jean-Luc Picard played by Patrick Stewart. a try!🥰

If ever you do, please let me know what you think!😊

I discovered Star Trek with the Next Gen. series . I loved Capt. Picard, " Make it so ! "



@QVCkitty1 Welcome!🥰 Yessss! He is my number 2 choice! Let us not forget his famous..."Engage".😁 Although other captains have said it, I LOVED❤️ the authoritative manner in which he did!😊

Yes, the original series, and Picard and Janeway.  I was moved from the beginning by the philosophy underlying the series - that by working harmoniously, humanity, and even non-humans, can be stronger together.  There was no racism or sexism on the Enterprise - just equality and cooperation, and a striving for exploration, but not conquest. What a concept!



@Bookplate Welcome!🥰 It was INDEED a novel concept that flourished on the Enterprise!❤️

 

Conversely, on Deep Space Nine, the USS Defiant had Ferengi males that were very much sexist, and EXTEREMELY capitalistic by nature, but the Ferengi women gained their rights in an extremely well written episode; particularly something as fundamental as the right to wear clothes!👍 That episode brilliantly captured the very essence of liberation! The look on Quark's face was priceless!😁
