TenForward: Where Every Vulcan Knows Your Name

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

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.

I heard a girl at a bar refer to Nolan’s Batman Movies as the “Classic Batman movies” a few years ago and I still haven’t recovered

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.

I prefer ancient, like TNG.

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."

🎶 It's been a long time…

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.

The only Star Trek I've seen is TOS

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.

The opposite of me when I describe albums released by my favorite bands in the 00's as "the new stuff."

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

I didnt have anyone to guide me in my late-90's pre-teen years. It was only with Jessie Gender's reccomendation that I dipped my toe in to lower decks, and then friends i met told me about DS9 being "the queer one", which got me hooked.

Dont get me wrong, I'd seen TNG episodes growing up...unfortunately the connection/click just didnt get made. (I circled back, dont worry)

Now for the heresy: From my perspective, the newer stuff, which folks so often gripe "change the format too much" or whichever (I wont even humor the bad-faith bigots complaints about how they cant slur people for intrinsic traits just for existing) -- I enjoy Strange New Worlds and Discovery a lot. They address something that Star Trek didnt (when I was young and media illiterate and taken in my bang-boom-Halo-style-scifi: i could suspend my disbelief. The costumes in TNG and even DS9 had taken me out of it before i ever got into it. No shade to designers...i see now the wonderful theatre they were making room for...and hey, Im a queer-anarchist so making things more easily digestable is the opposite of what i dig...but maybe consider that someone super enthused about a newer show may well be on their own path to a new appreciation for the older series <3

Was Ensign Kim over 30 at the start of Voyager? Which series has a cast under 30?

Enterprise was fantastic if you cut out the time travel episodes.

Voyager took a long time to find itself and it was disappointing the direction they took with it.

DS9 was a lame story with fantastic characters.
