While I love TNG (even though the cast can’t shut up) and that was the first Star Trek I was familiar with since I was 6 and a fan of reading rainbow when it came out I would say that the original series is my favorite (can happily watch Trek through Enterprise). My dad watched Original Series reruns since as long as I can remember.
The sendoff for the original crew always gets to to me and it just contrast that with writers today who live to crap on or deconstruct the works of better writers. I saw they are making a new blade runner with a delusional man, Disney is making a new Neverending Story, and Netflix is butchering… I mean remaking the Chronicles of Narnia.
One good thing about Star Trek is that I have a lot of books to read. I was at a convention once and a guy had a bunch of Star Trek books for a quarter a piece so I left with a bunch.
That’s my favourite piece of Trek, that movie (although the second-last episode of TOS is also very good). It’s excellent, even considering the purple Klingon blood floating around the room, lol.
Voyage Home is also good, but that was more spoof, than “true” Trek, imho.
I do also enjoy me some Voyager, but man, The Undiscovered Country is just… The most I enjoy Trek, personally.
Also arguably Kim Catrall’s best acting performance. Certainly during the height of her career, anyway!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Would also recommend both Galaxy Quest and Red Dwarf, on the humour front, if you haven’t seen those yet!
Love Red Dwarf and Galaxy Quest is a great movie. I almost tear up every time they get the order to return home and the camera pans across and you see their faces and Kirk gives the final captain’s log. I enjoyed Voyager as well.
did you ever see the pilot to TNG?
The cameo from McCoy interacting with Data was amazing...
