my first star trek memory i think was walking by the video shop and seeing a poster for generations and me going jesus is there another one of those films out even though i knew nothing about star trek.

my first contact (pun inteneded ) with star trek was due to the late late show which i used to hate and there wasn't much else on t.v on fridays nights and i started watching TNG on sky one at 10, it just happened to be airing in the first season when i started watching it.

Ro: maaan!

Pretty sure my first memory of it was that episode of TOS where they were in some sort of a cave and there was some sort of a "being" made out of like cement that was dying. As in, "Dammit Jim, I'm a doctor, not a bricklayer!"

Next encounter with it would have been a drunk Data trying to replace isolinear chips real fast. That's the one that got me watching it. Never really liked TOS.

The earliest i can remember of watching trek is watching the documentary on sky one with johnaton frakes giving a behind the scenes of the series finale. Im sure i watched it before then too, just can't remember. I remember thinking 'ohhh so THATS how they put the cameras on the enterprise....' Of course not realising at such a precious age that such a show is ficticious, stupid kids... lol.

either the cartoon or that next generation episode with the little crawly things that get into your neck... scary,scary stuff! thats the first one i remember anyway cuz it scared the bejesus outta me!

MrVestek

Funny you should say that because i now remember watching the tng animated series too. And i distinctly remember worf looking ALOT different in the cartoon than on the tv show. It was like he was... an alien... or something. Obviously.

joe_chicken

it wasnt the next gen one ...it was the cartoon of the old series

MrVestek

no one believes me when i tell them this, but trust me there was a tng animated series too. i can remember it in my head clear as day.

I think it was Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, with those horrific little insect things that went into ears :dunno:
Then it was Patrick Stewart introducing a brand new series on Network 2 - Star Trek: The Next Generation... And so it remains until I stopped watching once Deep Space Nine ended and nothing good came since...

If there was a TNG animated it was both unoffical and non cannon.
I am suprised at how late in pples lives they began to watch star trek.
I didnt know i was such a oldie. It messed me up allot , made me mature ALLOT faster than those my age.

First memory was a documentery on BBC 2 about star trek presented by leonard Nimoy. I didnt give it much attention as but left it on because there was sports on all the other channels.

I saw a promo for the original series and watched the Cage when it was first shown on Sky. If i remember rightly it was a Sunday night when the Cage was on Sky

St the next generation started on 5 october 1992, why that date sticks out in my mind I do not know.

Pigman II

TOS ep 'Day of the Dove' on BBC2 in 1992.

My earlist memory or star trek was a good few years ago now, i was watching something on tv, i fell asleep watching it, a few hours later i woke up, one of the first few episodes of voyager was on, i went to change the channel but the control was on the other side of the room and i was too lazy to get it, so i watched voyager even though i wouldve normally change straight away, voyager led to TNG,TNG led to enterprise, havent seen much of the original series tbh.

DS9?

I would reccemend everyone watch episode 9 of the TOS.
It was the first romulan episode
Also the tribbles episode and there arew a few others. I must buy TOS TNG DS9 VOY ENT X-Files and SG1 on DVD, it will cost a few thousand and will take a few years to get the money - first i need a job, but i love being a bum so much.

An uncle of mine was a complete sci-fi nut, so whenever we'd visit my grandparents place he'd be watching trek.

I seem to remember the films with the original cast more than the series, which I got into later on. I think my first encounter with star trek was The Wrath of Khan when I was 6 or 7 (some bits of it were pretty scary for a kid), and its still my favourite trek movie.

We used to go for tea at my grandmother's house every Sunday and TNG would be on RTÉ. My father thought it was a good show for us to watch because the characters sopke good English! However, at the time, I used to laugh at the special fx and say that the planets you could see out of the window on the bridge were just stickers. What sacrilege! I only became a real ST fan the year I was doing my Junior Cert - we got Sky at home and I used to watch TNG (and DS9 to a lesser degree) religiously. I even managed to convert my best friend who hated sci-fi to the show. Woot!
