My older brother was a Star Trek fan, particularly of Captain Kirk. Not so much The Next Generation. My true attention to the franchise came with Voyager and Captain Janeway. Of course, in this one, they managed to return 7 of 9 and Tuvok (who was known for having lost his mind at the end of Voyager?)
I then, in later years, watched The Next Generation and fell in love with the crew...and here we are, the "older next generation"; it felt like seeing old friends as they have aged - like me :)
Strongly recommend this series, and if you are anything like me, nostalgic...make sure you have a box of Kleenex on hand ;)
