Soo... 11 films (+ 1 to come), 5 TV shows, 1 animated series. What are your thoughts on this amazing, incredible franchise?
Have you watched them all? What's your favorite series/movie/character? How/when did you discover it? Has it affected your life in some way?
Please share your opinions here!
I'll go first and try to make it short.
I cannot recall how exactly I came across ST. I surf the web a lot, and I might have seen references in several places. I'm 23 so obviously it was not very popular among my generation, but one day a few years ago I decided to give it a chance. And it blew my mind off. I'm kind of obsessive with chronological order, so I started from the very beggining, The Cage. First thing I noticed was how elaborated and profound the scripts were. They were trying to send a message. And then the actors, as episodes went by you could feel a comfortable and familiar atmosphere, the internal jokes between them (both the actors and the characters) and the sense of humour just caught me completely.
It was tough to get used to a new group of actors each series, luckily the films were there, and you got to see them growing old...
I must say, I treasure TOS because of that, I felt I was part of the family there. That didn't happen with the other ones. In story development matters, I'd choose TNG. It has the best storyline ever. The other series are great also, especially DS9.
And regarding the films... Well, The Wrath of Khan, The Search for Spock and First Contact are in my top three for sure.
