I don't suppose you're missing much, but you really should keep the Star Trek thing to yourself... ;)
I'm proud to be a trekkie. ;)
As far as pop culture and tv series are concerned, I find that there really isn't anything to be ashamed of in Star Trek. As a matter of fact, watching the Next Generation for the first time recently, it was a shock to realize how our standards had collapsed in the last 20 years - a tv show with long dialogues about ethics, moral values and philosophy?
Plus, an optimistic view of a future world where people are well-educated and appreciate classical music, theatre and literature? That's the kind of escapism I need...
Now it's all color treatment and CGI, naked people and coming up with the most shocking image...
The latest Trek movies are an abominable testament to that.
