General Trek discussion

[DParga21]

At the request of the mods, I thought I'd make a thread for general Star Trek discussions.
It got started by @QuiGonFishing talking about his lack of interest in Section 31, and the mods shut that down before I could comment.
I just wanted to say, I always hope for the best. I had low expectations for both Lower Decks and Prodigy, and both pleasantly surprised me. While my reaction to the trailers has been lukewarm, I enjoy Michelle Yeoh and I'm glad to see Rachel Garrett getting some love. I'll be watching it on Friday, and I'll let ya'll know what i think.

I was born in 1982 so really grew up with the 90s Trek shows and repeats of TOS and saw the movies a bit later. Gave up on new Trek when Enterprise came along though have since watched it all and thought it was ok. Since then I have totally lost interest in all 1990s Trek and now I am TOS and movies 1 - 6 only.

I did not like the JJ movies. Have tried watching the new shows but found they were not for me at all, I do not like anything about them.
That said I am happy people are getting 1/6 figures for their favourite shows no matter what their favourite is. For myself I am looking forward to EXO-6 TOS figures and more Monster Maroon figures.

I think what I like most about the TOS crew is the Kirk, Spock and Bones friendship. I like Scotty also. I love the 60s feel to the show. My late partner was originally from the Philippines. She had never seen Star Trek before, I introduced her to TOS, TNG, DS9, VOY and ENT. She fell in love with TOS. The other shows she thought were ok but said she found it hard to really care about them. She did not like the JJ movies either.
