I was never into Star Trek as a young kid, mostly because I didn't know anything about anything and I followed the whole "omgz star wars is so much better because it has lightsabers!!!!1!!1" mentality, without ever actually having watched the show... however, for the last few months I have had the pleasure of being able to watch Star Trek, Star Trek: The Next Generation, and Star Trek: Voyager six days a week on the Space Channel. I am astounded at what I missed out on and these three hours are times I look greatly forward to, because unlike other TV shows I've seen time and time again, every Star Trek episode is something new I've never seen.
As for my question, I decided to go buy Star Trek: The Next Generation on DVD, as I figured seven seasons of content could tide me for several days, only to find it cost 900 dollars Canadian. Looking at the original series wasn't much better, and now I am faced with another task... watching the movies. They cost around 25-30 bucks each, though, and I'm not sure where to begin as I'm a relatively new fan... which Star Trek movie would be a good place to start? I've been hearing Wrath of Khan as a possibility, but the main problem is I haven't managed to see the Space Seed episode of the original series yet -_-.
Any comments are greatly appreciated.
