I have the original trekkies on DVD. But like so many things coming from childhood, it's rather stale watching it now.
Yeah, I watched the original series religiously as a kid. For me, at that age, it was high drama. I know what you mean about it seeming stale now, but it retains a certain camp value for me.
The Next Generation crushed it like a grape, IMO.

After the first season, at least. 
I have mixed feelings about a new ST series. I'm a big fan, I watched TOS when I was a kid, and got into TNG as a young adult. I may be one of the few trekkies who didn't mind Enterprise. So I'm a bit excited about it, but I also know that absent Roddenberry's influence, it could go off the rails fast.

Well...I'm not excited so much as exasperated. Seriously - isn't it time someone shot this particular puppy?

Loved the movies though. But rather hard to shoot new ones with three being dead and the rest being old age pensioners.

I'm a ST tragic (I agree with others about Enterprise though)
Can't wait for new one. And movies! All of them.

Humbug! Picard is the best captain by a long shot! Such class!
