Someone disliking camp irritates the living shit out of me, but anyway, I don't like most of the TNG movies. I love First Contact mostly for James Cromwell as Cochran, but the plot itself is kind of stupid. It's all about psychotic Picard being an asshole who loves revenge and being reckless, but not charming about it like Kirk. I prefer the old series movies, and to an extent the 2009 movie. Well, okay, First Contact is my favorite, but mainly just because of Cromwell. I'm bored of Wrath of Khan after seeing it so much.
I'm a bigger fan of the old series. I like TNG well enough, but I've seen it too much as a kid, and am largely just bored of it and worn out on it. Haven't given Enterprise a chance because it looks stupid and sounds stupid and probably is stupid, don't like Voyager, and I do like DS9 well enough. Like TNG, I was worn out on DS9 as a kid. I like the original series crew the best, with Bones being my favorite ST character period. Worf, Data, and Geordi are fun characters, but Troi, Crusher, and Riker are boring. I had to struggle to remember Beverly Crusher's name, and had to think "Wesley Crusher's Doctor Mom" to remember. Riker is just Kirk with a beard, except when he doesn't have a beard, at which point he's just Kirk but boring. Oh, and Q is great. DS9 has more Quark. I like Odo, and Kira is the hottest ST babe after young Uhura for me, and I just don't care about T'Pol. Hell, I'd never hit it. I'm not sure how I feel about Sisko since I haven't legitimately watched DS9 episodes since I was a kid.
Say what you want about the Old Series, but I'll slap the shit out of someone who says a word against McCoy. I dunno, though. At a point, I think Star Trek started to get really weird. There are things about the 09 film that I find downright unpleasant.
Right, guys?
With regards to TNG/DS9 becoming worn out, I'm sure TOS would have been just as bad if it had gone on for 7 seasons instead of 3(or 4, including the animated)

Concerning camp, it because of camp that I don't like the old Adam West Batman TV show either.
Hippy.
EDIT: My wife says McCoy was the saving grace of TOS for her, unlike TNG which was serious all the time.
I grew up on TNG, so my favorite characters are Data and Q.
