I like the movies just fine. I admire the series for the vision and hope it can give humanity, and I recognize that William Shatner is the greatest damn actor who ever lived. But I just can't do the original series. I've been spoiled by the Borg, Dominion War, and some seriously, seriously fine writing. Some of the best television writing I've ever seen, actually.
I don't know what it is about Kirk's trek. I can handle old stuff just fine. I don't care about 60s production quality. Hell, I love watching those old Lost in Space episodes and Buck Rogers. I... just can't appreciate the episodes the same way I can appreciate stuff from TNG or DS9 (notice how I left Voyager off that list).

Are you my long lost brother?
I am in the process of making my way through TOS right now and in 3 months have watched 6 episodes. I plowed through TNG and DS9 together in 3 months.
Voyager sucks. It got better in the middle episodes but it was just a lesser level of suck. Enterprise was better than Voyager but that isn't saying a whole lot.
