I liked all the Treks, they each brought something to the table.

I'm old, so I watched TOS when it first aired. Back then a lot of stuff we take for granted was impossible - a Russian guy and a black chick on the bridge crew, wireless communicators smaller than telephones, computers that didn't need a room as big as a barn, hospital beds that could read a patient's vitals...

And it touched on alternate universes, time travel, ESP...

It was very inspiring and ahead of its time.

I don't think it's rude. I'm 59.

I was 9 when it started.

The '60s was an excellent decade to grow up in. Kids take things as they come, we're too young to be hung up on what was there before, like the millennials being so great with tech while we geezers ... not so much. When I was little there were always old heads exploding every day over long hair rock and roll music, atheists in space, civil rights, hippies, bright colored clothes, eastern religion, merra-ju-whanna... the lols were plentiful indeed.

Thank you! It's nice to not be seen as an old geezer.

I was in college once upon a time.

The sixties were a perverse and wicked decade, in which the foundations of civilized society were undone. "Heads exploding" is a perfectly reasonable response to opinions that had previously been the sole possession of leftist radicals suddenly becoming mainstream. While TOS was good artistically, it was part of the subversion (it's makers explicitly wanted it to) and the movies continued that trend. They did this because, like many in Hollywood, they sympathized with our communist enemies.

Yeah, they were great days.

No more grey flannel, no more little white gloves. No more complacency, no more status quo.

And there were songs written for and about every occasion! Woot!
