Hee!  Good heavens, no!  Trek was my first fandom; my aunt got me 
hooked when I was 11.  I very clearly remember sitting in the kitchen 
of her apartment in Brooklyn with her, and drinking chocolate milk, 
and watching the 'Stratagema' episode of TNG:  hook, line, and 
sinker.  I am a huge devotee of TNG (There was a time when I knew 
episode titles, first airing dates, *and* production order...not sure 
how many times I read the Compendium, but it's at least 47 =D), and 
I'm fond of TOS and of DS9, until they killed off Dax.  I watched 
VOY, but only halfheartedly after the third season or so, I just 
really never got into it as much.  I really can't stand Enterprise.  
I nearly choked on my drink watching the premiere 
(the 'decontamination' scene pretty much set the tone of the series, 
to my mind, and that's not what Trek's about, IMHO) and gave up on 
the spot. Even Scott Bakula isn't enough to rescue it for me.  

Incidentally, I'm a member of my campus' sff student union (we are 
called the Science Fiction Forum, and we help run ICon every year at 
SUNY Stony Brook), which attracts fandoms of every shape and size, 
and it's pretty much universally agreed that Trek is the 'starter' 
fandom for those of my generation and older.  I'm beginning to see 
signs that HP is taking over that 'starter' position in the 
young'uns, which is gladdening to this fangirl's heart.  

Anyway... ::waves to Alora, and everyone else who's decloaked::  
Q'uapla!  =)
