Do young people watch CLASSIC Star Trek?


Real question. By classic Trek I mean, TOS, TNG, VOY, DS9, and ENT. Are you or someone you know under 40 who watches Classic Trek? If not why?

Wow, so those shows are considered classic now? COOL! I love 'em all!

Yeah I only watch TNG, TNG FILMS, DS9, VOY, and ENT on rotation. DS9 is my absolute favorite by far, especially as the story arc curves towards the encounter with the Dominion and the ensuing war afterwards, as well as the uniform change.

I don't watch much TOS, too cheesy and too old for me to properly fit in the universe I first started watching in TNG. I would have had to grow up with TOS to appreciate it more, kind of like how kids growing up with Star Wars prequel movies like those better than the Classic Trilogy. It's all about life experience.

JJ Abrams Trek films I will watch sometimes, but I don't make it a priority, takes place in the alternate universe.

STD I stopped watching in Season 2, if it gets better let me know. Curious about the 31st century thing I heard about in S3.

PIC I will only rewatch Season 3 in the future. Most of Seasons 1 & 2 are writeoffs, what they did to some characters is horrifying (Icheb).

Strange New Worlds, almost done that first season, it's okay but not AS engaging as TNG/DS9/VOY/ENT.
