It's funny because I was pretty sure I would like this film, since I have been in love with Star Trek since I was very little. And I've loved SOMETHING about each incarnation (even Enterprise had a very attractive cast! PRETTY T'POL IS PRETTY). But I didn't expect to be fannish about it. It sort of hit me in a weird way, always, like it was something for older people. I guess with the reboot, I saw a newer, younger, more accessible version of the heroes that I've always loved.
Which isn't to say that I don't love the original universe! Because Voyage Home was one of the few movies you could get everyone in my family to agree on. and I even DRESSED UP to see the premiere of Nemesis. It's just... hard to explain, but the reboot hits me in all the right ways, where other series didn't? also I find it harder to be fannish about long series (although somewhere in the world, there exists me/Bashir (DS9) fic, lol). but a movie is easier to keep all the contintuity in one place, and I now have the internet to help me as a fan outlet.
