I'd sooner watch TOS than Next Gen, which darkling1 and feiran are watching in the room with me as I type this. I'm actually listening to music on headphones to avoid listening to it. Because this show tries to be so serious, it's even more groan-worthy to me than TOS.
Plus, I really just don't like the Next Gen crowd especially much. Picard is decent because, hello, Patrick Stewart, but Riker is a tool, and Troi's a space case, and Brent Spiner's earlier days of being a robot are cringe-tacular.
I am, however, a great fan of the better Star Trek movies--2,4,6, and First Contact. The movies added enough gravitas to the TOS crowd; it's like watching crotchety old dudes save the world all the freakin' time (by which I mean, it's awesome). And First Contact is just a great movie--SPACE ZOMBIES.
