My "Trek" of choice

Last night I watched the series finale for Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. I wouldn't call myself a Trekkie, or a Trekker... but I do know the difference. But sometimes I feel like I was raised on Star Trek. I remember:

• watching The Cage on my parent's SelectaVision with G


• seeing each of the movies during their original theatrical run (except the first... which is still kind of impressive when you think my parents decided to take a seven year old to see The Wrath of Kahn)


• Watching TNG as original airings, but even moreso as reruns on FOX 13 after The Arsenio Hall Show


• And Deep Space Nine

DS9 was the Star Trek high point for me. It had all the familiar trappings of Star Trek, but the sense of permanence, the genuine lasting struggles,... all served to set it apart, and above all other Treks. I guess that makes me a Niner.
