I don't have any Captain Kirk Underoos er anythang, but I have sat with my 7 year old Son and watched every single episode of every series, and every movie. I feel that between it and Star Wars (which he began watchin when he was almost 3, and has seen over and over and over and over, every damn one of them, including the Clone Warses) his imagination and inspiration / asperation has been supercharged. He wants to be a Jedi Starfleet Admiral Engineer Science Officer for NASA, more or less. 
Oh now, that's just mean spirited. I liked Enterprise, it had it's share of crap but then all the series do. It also had really great stuff that was worth forgiving the crap.

Enterprise only had two things going for it: smokin' hot dames in skimpy, skin tight clothes and the Mirror universe episodes... and even THAT went and fucked up the Gorn. For chissakes! How hard would it have been to make a CGI Gorn that was still faithful to the original series?! GOD!!!!!!!

I used to nub Kirstie Alley. She played on a Star Trek I think.
Oh, and Shelly Hack? Nice almost wet t-shirt moment in that whale movie. Sorry, I'm = perv.

quite possibly the worst piece of casting work ever, and her not returning for the next one just confirmed my feeling that she never belonged in a Star Trek project in the first place, her replacement Robin Curtis was so much better in the role of a Vulcan

Sure that wasn't Catherine Hicks?
Yeh, you right. Who the hell is Shelly Hack... hmm. Oh Charlie's Angels.

Yeh, the Fantasy Island dude. That was the only Trek movie I watched all of. Nasty space herpes in his ear.
Hey:
Anybody else listen to this audiobook: Star Trek Memories (and/or read the book?).
It's really interesting, so far!

That book was the basis for the television/home video specials that I worked on and mentioned earlier. Apparently you can still purchase the VHS (yes VHS, no DVD version has ever been made) on Amazon:

Just saw this thread, but have to leave before I can read through it...
I will just say right quick that my 7 year old Son and I have watched every single Star Trek episode from every series short of the last 3 of DS9, and the final of Enterprise. We have watched all of the movies together as well, and are about to shit our pants to go see the new one when it comes out.
We watch those together while we work on model rockets, a bunch. He has had a lot of inner stimulation, on technical things, moral things, social things, all kinds, from that and the Star Wars stuff, and some others... but those are "the big two"... actually, in order (it's ok to disagree), Star Wars, then Star Trek. He got started on Wars at 2 when he saw R2D2 over my shoulder and said "What's that blue robot... I wanna see that blue robot"... a few days later he had to have his own TV and DVD player because I just could not watch it any more!!! He watched the whole trilogy, over and over in order for weeks... I let him do it because I could tell he was connecting ALL KINDS of synapses and it was positive stuff mostly by far (lasers are different than gangster guns... know what I mean?). I was there to always answer his many, many questions and it was amazing to watch him learn so much so fast and really be thinkin about some good deep stuff, and in a very wholesome way.
Just the other night we were talking about the reasons that heroes sometimes "go to the dark side", and we concluded that it was because they lose all contact with love (for yourself doesn't count if there is none of for others as well, but many of them seem to also lose self love).
Anyways, Star Trek is fantastic with me, to say the least. I do not dress up in costumes and go to cons, but I let the subject matter weigh heavily upon me and my family... it is good stuff... very stimulating.

It is annoying, but I don't know how unusual it is. It is a stand-alone documentary about Star Trek that sold well, but not in huge numbers. If Paramount could attach it to some other ST DVD release then they probably would.
It is a little similar to another project I did called "The Making of Jurassic Park". It was originally released on VHS and Laserdisc prior to the actual movie coming out. When Jurassic Park was finally released on DVD then they included "The Making Of" as a bonus feature on the disc.
ST Memories was not tied directly to any movie, but it was timed to come out at the same as Generations, so it wouldn't fit as a bonus feature on any of the movies.
I would love to have a copy on DVD because I think it was a really well done and in depth documentary about The Original Series, but it is very likely that the only way that will happen is if I make one myself using my VHS/DVD recorder.
