I think Star Trek started going down hill with the advent of Star Trek Deep Space Nine. Don't get me wrong. I loved the race of Ferengi. They might even be more interesting than the Klingons. But a great alien race does not make for an awesome TV series.That does not mean that I did not watch my fair share of Deep Space Nine. However it marked the beginning of the end for me. You can only do so many sequels before a movie loses its charm. The same can be said about Star Trek.
I would rather rewatch the original Star Trek series than witness the Star Trek brand to fade from glory. Yeah somebody wants to keep milking the darn thing to this day. There may be some rabid fans who will put up with mediocrity. Not me though.
