'''''What attracted you to the Star Trek genre in the first place?'''''

The sense of adventure, the feeling that there might be something better than all of this out there amongst the stars somewhere & that whilst we are still looking, we can live & dream it via shows such as Star trek. [[User:dolphin20pl1|Alan Reading]]

Definately the adventure and the almost endless chances for discovery. Being able to go someplace new and saying, hey I'm the first person to ever see this. The Trek genre offers something for everyone, archology, xenobiology, geology, astrophysics, diplomacy, warfare and on and on and on. The possibilities are endless and you are only limited by your imagination. -[[Federation Starships|Ken]]

I always thought it fascinating due to the fact that it almost could be like that. We, as humans, are presently on the cusp of space exploration. Its the idea that it could be me or my familial decendents out there living on a starship, exploring, serving in a diplomatic aspect, or just military patrolling to keep the peace. Plus I like all the cool aliens. LOL! -[[herbalsheila]]

The drama in the stories and characters of every Star Trek series is the reason I’ve always tuned in. Even when I think they’ve put together a horrible cast (Voyager), in the end they end up writing great episodes and tied everything together to create a great universe. -[[User:Jfrench|Jason French]]

The idea that, in the future, we can put aside all our petty differences and work together to achieve so much more than we can whilst we allow our world to remain divided. Plus the idea that we are *not* alone in the vastness of the universe :) Though to be truthful, that's what attracted me as an adult, to the Next Generation when that was first shown in the UK. What attracted me as a child when Star Trek was first shown here in the 60s was that it was so very different from everything I'd seen before. The whole idea of the ship in space, the characters, the technology... it was just amazing and exciting to me! I just loved it from the start. -[[User:Rivers|Liz Geuken]]

Spock. Leonard Nimoy in Spandex with a Beatle haircut. Hey, it was the 60’s, I was an All-American Teenybopper, we just got a brand new color TV… what do you expect? *Grin* -[[GrannyGM]]
