Oh my gosh! We have a poster on the wall in our home office: All I need to know about life I learned from Star Trek. We have the whole first season on DVD and have watched every iteration of the series since Day 1. And, we own all the movies! We haven't gone to any conventions, though, and don't dress up as characters. We were so disappointed when the last series was cancelled.

We periodically watch one of the first shows and have to laugh at the acting (can you call it that?LOL) and the tech effects. I think the show explored some very interesting concepts, such as respect for 'others' meaning people who are not like us. The themes were always fascinating for the shows and the movies.
