"I've been a Star Trek fan since the original series was on. Our large console TV was the viewing port for the adventures of Captain Kirk and his crew, and a larger one was used to enjoy the afternoon syndication in the 70s. I would sit next to it with an audio cassette recorder, trying to time it just right to cut out the commercials. I stocked up on 60 minute and 120 minute cassettes, making a collection of the shows before there were such things as affordable VCRs an DVDs.
My favorite series would be Deep Space Nine, followed by The Original Series. I thought DS9 was an excellent format of stories, sort of a "frontier town in space" (if TOS was described as a "Wagon train to the stars...")- you could have a core group of characters, by always have different situations and guest stars due to the station being a commercial port.
My favorite characters would be Quark- the bad guy with a heart of gold/latinum, and Spock - the alien who wanted to work with humans. Both of these characters were excellent story material.
Now, I enjoy seeing the aspects of the many parts of Star Trek in everyday life. Our technology is daily becoming more "Trekian." The statesmanship of Picard and Sisko can be called upon to understand our current political world, I enjoy hanging out with other people like myself that once were called "geeks" but now realize we have a richness to our lives and a depth of understanding that others may not."
