Well, what do you think of Star Trek: TOS, Jory?
I recently watched several Digimon Fusion/Xros Wars episodes.

Love it. Obsessively. Enjoying the animated series too, and I finally started branching out recently by picking up The Next Generation. I'm also considering picking up Enterprise. Not sure about Deep Space Nine and Voyager. They never interested me much, and neither is on Blu-ray anyway. (I'm sick of picking up TV shows on DVD and having one or more discs be faulty. It almost never happens with Blu-rays.)

Hooray! Another Trekkie/Trekker/whatever you want to call a Star Trek fan! I like Spock, Data, Dax, and Seven best. Deep Space Nine and Voyager really get going around Season 3, and there's really good stuff afterwards as well, so you could hypothetically skip to Seasons 3 if you want. I personally don't like Enterprise, but that's just me. What do you think of the remakes? I detest them, but that's all I'm going to say.

I like Star Trek and Star Trek Into Darkness quite a bit. I've heard countless complaints from fans about these films supposedly ruining Star Trek and that they're not "real" Star Trek movies, but I'm not buying it. I recently had a long conversation online with another fan who hated Into Darkness for supposedly being nothing more than a big dumb action movie with no real ideas or themes, and I succeeded in changing this person's opinion of the film after I pointed out that it has a lot more going on under the surface than most people seem to notice. I think it's the best Trek movie since The Undiscovered Country.

As for the other TV shows, I'm primarily into the original crew (Kirk, Spock, Sulu, etc). I've seen at least one episode each of The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, Voyager, and Enterprise, but they never interested me too much until recently. I felt I needed to really check out The Next Generation since I do like the cast and it was such an important part of the Trek mythology, and the more I think about Enterprise the more the prequel concept intrigues me. Deep Space Nine seems alright but I'm in no hurry to check it out, and Voyager would be last on my to-do list since I can't stand Janeway.

My favorite Star Trek material so far has been what I call the Nicholas Meyer Trilogy, The Wrath of Khan, The Voyage Home, and The Undiscovered Country. Those three films have been better and smarter than just about any other film or TV episode I've seen.

I've been watching The Original Series way out of sequence, but I'm watching The Animated Series in order (sort of; it's air-date order, not production order) and I plan on watching The Next Generation the same way, for better or worse. I know the first season isn't too popular, but I want to follow one of these shows from the beginning for once.
