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.
Don't get me started on how it's not "automated space communism" but in fact Conservatism writ large. Larger, in fact, than anyone should be comfortable with.
Or do get me started and I'll lay out the circumstantial evidence that only Europe and the Americas survived WWIII and the subsequent implication that the bright future on display is a consequence of global nigger, chink, and pajeet removal.
