How time flies, eh? I have a 25th anniversary art print framed on my office wall at home, and a commemorative pin from the 25th anniversary movie marathon where I sat through the 5 movies on big screen at the Crest Theatre in downtown Sacramento, seeing the first real preview trailers for Star Trek VI...and now since then 3 new Trek series & 4 feature films have come & gone, and I haven't been to a Trek convention in 12 years since pre-WWW days...and here I was considered a "young" fan back in the day, but I was still a pre-NextGen fan, skeptical of how that show would turn out...
Here's hoping the JJ Abrams-helmed ST XI will break the odd-numbered curse & resurrect Trek, but I also agree that we are due a break from constant new televised Trek so these young whippersnappers realize what it's like to only have reruns for years... ;)
