For me, it's actually kinda personal. Of course, I wear my heart on my sleeve ANYWAY. My mother was a drug addict and Alcoholic. My father was a good man who was often pushed to the breaking point, and under the circumstances became not so good. But see, the things I remember, and remember fondly, are days when my Dad was at home, trying to keep us from losing our minds like he did....
Many nights he showed us movie, or told us stories, or listen to folk music. And he was a Star Trek Fan. Not a huge one. He sees the movies when they come out, and watching the shows when he can. Not really enough to even buy the DVDs.
I remember he pulled us out of school sometimes, when Mom disappeared, mostly to keep us calmish. There was one night in particular where when I was seven years old, and the episode "Imaginary Friend" was on Next Generation. for some reason, sitting there with my Dad and watching that episode, and the time we watched part of a New Year's Day marathon, stick out as some of the good times. And we had lots of those.
So, pretty much everything goes back to my Dad. He's the one who raised me, taught me right from wrong, and incidentally, introduced me to Star Trek. I think it was a couple years later when I really started getting into it, when he rented "Generations". As an adult, I like the movie a lot better than most people seem to, but I recognize the flaws. As a nine year old, it was probably the most amazing thing in the world. I remember coming home from church, hearing the music playing, and demanding that he rewind it and start it over. The music kinda triggered something there, I don't know.
I've seen every theatrical Star Trek film since, except Insurrection, with my Dad.
