I wasn’t always a fan of Star Trek. I’d watched the original Star Trek series as a kid in syndication and never cared for it all that much. I still don’t. And when Star Trek: The Next Generation (TNG) first started airing in 1987 I didn’t watch it because it was something my dad was into. And I was at the age that I thought anything my dad was into was positively lame.
In fact, it wouldn’t be until I was in high school and the third series Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (DS9) premiered that my love of all things Trek would be born.
