    I’ve only seen the original movie, but I don’t see how anyone can top Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto.

      I hate you with every fiber of my being, and with the intensity of a thousand supernovae!

      Good work!

      I know you’re joking but I have a friend who’s like that; their introduction to Star Trek were the 2009 movies and afterwards they started watching a bit of the previous series but never really got into it. So they keep telling me how amazing the 2009 movies are (I’ve seen them all once around the time the released, I don’t recall a lot of the plot, just that I found them to be very un-star trek, they watched them religiously) and how hot all the actors are and I just roll my eyes and say “yeah yeah, suuure”. Still love them, despite their weird Star Trek opinions.

        Sounds like me. The Kelvin timeline movies were my first introduction to Star Trek, and everybody in them is hot. Now I’m on the second season of DS9 (sorry, couldn’t get through the first season of TNG, even though I wanted to).

    Uh, Voyager aired in 1995 so if you’re 30 now, you would be 1 year old when it aired. Would have been 2 years old when Janeway and Paris had lizard sex. Timothée “Paul Wonka” Chalamet wasn’t even born when Voyager premiered.

    When Seska was betraying the crew, Square released Final Fantasy 7.

    Voyager encountered the Borg and met Seven about when Baby Hit Me One More Time was released.

    When Janeway finally got Voyager home, Drake was starting his career on DeGrassi.

      Yeah but not everyone lives in the US, other places got it later, and reruns exist, yet usually stop after a few years.

        Slightly off topic.

        I was watching a Tom Baker / 4th Doctor episode where someone refers to the Prime Minister as “she.” Naturally I assumed that they were referring to Thatcher. Turns out that the episode was made before Thatcher took office, and the writers were being wild and futuristic by making the leader a woman.

      Yeah I was TV-watching age at that time and something I’ve watched as new when I was under 10 does is something I might describe as “old”, depending on context.

    I have a friend who doesn’t like the (quote) “new Star Trek shows”. That’s anything produced after 1969. He grew up with TOS.

    He’s enjoying SNW though, so there may be hope for him. 😄

    I love Voyager, DS9 and TNG. 90s were the best time for trek.

    Enterprise not so much, but it was getting pretty good by the end.

      In the 90s it felt like we may be working towards that idealism, aftwards…not so much. Plus after mid 2000s/2010 everything wanted to be gritty which doesn’t work for Star Trek. That said I haven’t watched any series since Enterprise(on my list just not up there), but the recent movies felt less like Star Trek than the TNG ones.

        Watch Lower Decks and Strange New Worlds! Lower Decks is a little Rick and Morty-ish in the first season but it’s still good. This is coming from someone who really doesn’t like DISCO or Picard.

        You know, I think you’ve got it. The pitch for Enterprise was “What if we went back in time before even TOS when everyone was significantly shittier?”

    I haven’t even hit 30 yet and it’s weird to hear Voyager called old. I grew up watching TNG and sometimes TOS with my mom. It was one of the few good parts of my childhood. It took me forever just to stop referring to Voyager and Enterprise as “the new stuff.”

    Danson had a similar exchange with Woody Harrelson on “Cheers.”

    Ted = Sometimes I like to get out the really old rock and roll, The Drifters, The Marvellettes, bands like that. You ever listen to the old stuff.

    Woody = Not me, but my Mom really likes Devo.

    It seems like quite often, for myself included, “the best Star Trek show” is the one you first grew up with.

    So it will always be TOS for me.

    I don’t dislike any Star Trek show, but TOS was my first love.

      TOS is Star Trek in my mind, even though TNG competes with it for my favorite. The adventures of Kirk/Spock & crew are the core of Star Trek, and it feels like everything since is an encore because of how incredibly beloved it was.

    TNG is the definitive Star Trek for me. I don’t think DS9 or Voyager would have existed had TNG not been a success. They also appear to be in the same universe, all three had similar aesthetics and had crossover between them. TOS always felt a bit dated to me in the 90s, most of the stuff after didn’t really catch my interest.

    I had a conversation with my dad about newtrek and for him “the new series” was Enterprise. I mean it was for me too until discovery aired a few years ago
