Never really watched any of the TV stuff, although I do remember getting one of the VHS board games and I liked the vibe that gave off. Still, my first proper experience was the 2009 film which I loved. I don't think I'm necessarily looking for big budget and action, but so far I've watched the first two seasons of the original series, and about half of TNG and I just can't get into it. So many of the episodes seem to be set in some bizarre world that is essential earth from a different era. I'm going to try and pick up the recommendations from LetswatchStarTrek.com and see if that improves things!
I'm a fan of the franchise, but there is some absolute strawberry floating guff in it. I would continue watching TNG, but using an episode guide is good.
Then go back and watch the episode where Crusher bangs a ghost.
