What?!! Another POLL?!!
I would have to say that at heart, I am an action fan when it comes to Star Trek. The shows have great ideals about a possibly semi-utopian future, with fantastical ships, and people with a moral compass that makes Harry Potter Hating Soccer Moms look like three dollar prostitutes, but for me, it was always the action in a lot of the stories. When I was but a wee laddie, watching Star Trek TOS, I didn't quite get the lofty ideals that the show was purported to pose....but I understood "Battle Stations", "Red Alert", and "Phasers on Stun!" (I also understood the concept of the hot chick in the tin foil bikini....but that's another thread.)
As I grew up, I got to understand what it was Star Trek was trying to say...and for that, I will always be appreciative. Even as a teen watching TNG, Worf was my role model in matters of honor. (Not the, "I must kill you as a matter of honor!" motif...but the "I must do what is right!" motif.) Starfleet officers, regardless of their propensity for Political Correctness (thank you DS9 and Enterprise for being a breath of fresh air, and showing us just how flawed we as humans really are), still always wanted to do the right thing.
But, in the end....I am always spoiling for a good battle...and the Star Trek series and movies have shown some of the most spectacular space battles, rivaled only by another great Sci-fi franchise "STAR WARS!"
