ST: TNG was my favorite, though Enterprise had its moments while trying to get used to dealing with other species, like the Andorians, which also appeared in at least one TOS episode.

I never bought any Star Trek books or toys, though.

I watched the first Star Trek debut on TV in September of 1966. I was only 7 years old, but I thought it was great compared to “Lost in Space” which debuted at the same time.

While I will always have fond memories of TOS because of this, I suppose that overall I like TNG the best. It was all the things that Roddenberry couldn’t make Star Trek to be when he made his first attempt in ‘66.

The only thing that sometimes bothered me about TNG was the “political correctness”. As if we were supposed to believe that all of those aliens were wrong and the Federation was always right. But just sometimes.

As for “Voyager” and “Deep Space Nine”, they were okay, but never held my attention like TNG. But I loved “Enterprise”, primarily because this was Earth’s first attempt and Archer and crew had to make thing up a they went along, stumbling all the way. And I really liked the Green Guys with the antennae (Andorians?), they kicked some intergalactic butt!

Actually, I liked all the Star Trek Series, although I didnt get to see much of Enterprise as the TV station that aired it here in Australia ran it late at night for which I was usually in bed on a week night.
I think each generation of S.T. was great in it’s own right with TOS starting it all, to TNG improving on (human?) rights and with the spin-offs sch as DS9 and Voyager both exploring different avenues.
I particularly liked Voyager and it’s travels through the Delta quadrant.

As for S.T. merchandise, I have not gotten around to buying any, but with todays technology, I think it would be fantastic if someone designed a Tri-corder for purchase. I would be out there buying one straight off.
(Maybe with enough program writers, we could turn an iPhone into one, or even with the Open source Android that Google’s GPhone uses could be adapted, and then just add some sensors and then maybe we would be that bit closer to having our own Tri-corder).

TNG was my favorite Star Trek for the longest time, as the space-time storylines were more sophisticated. However in recent years I’ve been discovering TOS all over again. I imagine the new movie will boost its popularity even more.

Plus you can enjoy the animated series and the old TOS comics, as most were written by the same team that wrote the series (including Roddenberry himself).

Interestingly, Roddenberry allegedly said TNG was closer to his vision and TOS should no longer be considered part of official continuity!
