For fans of the original series, there's something new out there. Star Trek Continues is a fan supported web series featuring new episodes with new actors playing the original characters.
 
 
...
 
 (Incidentally, the role of Chief Engineer Scott is played by Chris Doohan, the son of the original Mr. Scott.)
 

I love it when that type of thing happens. 
 
Like when Johnny Van Zant took over for his late brother, Dweezil playing his dad's works or when Jon Bonham's son played with Zep.

I used to watch Next Generation quite a bit. Lt. Commander Data was always trying to figure out humor, and Jean Luke Piccard was always saying, "Make it so."

And he gave us all those great facepalm shots too!

I enjoy anything Star Trek. Seven Of Nine is my dream girl..:)
 
Anyway, My old roommate from LA days (35 years ago) was on deep space 9 (as well as others) regularly so I sort of get inundated with his memory pics on Facebook. Here's one with an actor.
 

Shots with both Worf AND Quark? Man, two of my favorite characters! :)
 
Apparently, Michael Dorn has been working on a spin-off tentatively called "Star Trek - Captain Worf". I'd be very curious to see that.
 
I've now watched 8 episodes of Voyager, and I do enjoy it, though so far, it's much more conventional, with stories that often remind me of TOS - the giant cell-like space entity (Immunity Syndrome), a crew member accused of murder on a foreign planet (Wolf in the Fold), a world where people voluntarily die (Taste of Armageddon)...
 
Not bad, but overall, it does feel like "more of the same", so far anyway.
 
But being a dork, more of the same is fine with me. Though I really miss DS9.

Voyager starts getting really intense after a couple seasons. Thar be Borg in them there star systems.

The Borg Queen in StarTrek First Contact movie (of the next generation - launch of the first warp drive engine) plays in a couple or so episodes in StarTrek Voyager.
 

I'm glad to see I have a few fellow tekkies/trekkers/fans in the CH. :)

Between fleshing out the Borg history/society (as well as all the other societies they run into which have been untouched by humans or the Federation) adding the traditional anthropological nature of Star Trek and all the attempts to push physics to the limit in their efforts to get home rounding out the more tech/sciency stuff it really is quite good for tweaking the nerdly imagination.
 
DS9 I felt was less scifi and more action based. Lots of extreme fighting and a lot of the main foundation of the story was spiritual and philosophical in nature. IDK... DS9 was quite good but it kind of didn't really "feel" like Star Trek. Maybe that's just me.

My initial reaction was that it was a very odd Star Trek. Took me a while to adjust. I hated Sisko for a couple of episodes - and the fact that he antagonized Picard really didn't help. But I grew fond of the characters, and their depth. Garak is a fine example - you're never quite sure about him. Even the bad guys like Gol Dukat. 
 
And then as the seasons go, this becomes your Star Trek.
 
But having started watching Voyager, I am reminded just how DS9 differs from the Trek universe
 
That being said, as someone who's always been into philosophy and the study or religions and spirituality, DS9 offers an angle that I can really appreciate. 
 
And as far as venturing away from the original Trek, DS9 is still more in line with it than the recent Abrams movies. Now THAT was sacrilegious, imho.

Yeah, I haven't watched the Abrahms stuff yet. Kind of avoiding it because of exactly what you report but I guess I'll watch them eventually. I think I want to rewatch TOS one more time before doing so so that the altered/rebooted universe doesn't poison the traditional history.
