Huge fan growing up. Especially TNG/DS9 in my elementary school years. Voyager I thought was awful, but it's still kind of unavoidably associated with feelings of comfort and security from watching it in high school. Watched TOS later and appreciated it for what it was. It was probably my favorite of them all, for a while. Enterprise just never felt right, and the modern stuff gives me a headache.

I'm kind of out of love with all of it now for various reasons I won't go into. Don't think I'll be watching it ever again.

I can still talk about it fondly. If you're laughing at the Gorn episode because it's some chubby guy awkwardly flailing at a guy in a rubber suit who can't really see what he's doing, you don't understand what's happening. Although I'm not saying that isn't funny.

And but the point is that someone says to Kirk 'kill this being who would kill you in a second, and I'll give you what you want'. And he won't do it. Because he's better than that. And we're better than that.

And I guess that that's kind of the crux of what it meant to me, when it meant something to me.

I think we're probably all pretty elderly and view Star Trek as being 'over' at various levels, so maybe we can discuss when we think it was officially 'over'.

Like I said, I have problems with all of it these days, but I think whoever had the idea for there to be a Borg queen was like the first person who didn't know what was going on and was committed to screwing everything up.

Cardassians are my favorite villains anyway.

I revisit voyager often but i like the next generation and have finished up watching picard season 3 in the past year.

Like I said Voyager has comfy associations for me, but every time I watch it I start reading the episode summaries and saying 'no I'll skip that one it sucks' and I end up skipping through like three seasons unless I just force myself to let it play out.

Oh yeah. I grew up with TNG and DS9, watching TOS reruns on CBS. Inner Light is still in my top 5 favorite episodes.

EDIT: I should point out that for years I called it "Picard and the Magic Flute"

DS9 has a great theme tune. I think i watched more of DS9 in the 90s but i will try and go through it.

One of the best movies and the best soundtrack.
