My husband watched/watches all of them. There might be three by now? Plus something called Stargate? (Maybe that's right.)
We still have fun every so often pretending to go to warp speed. We'll sit in our armchairs and shake for special effect. I'll hold my hand to my ear like Uhuru (sp?). One of us might say, "I dunno, Cap'in. She caan'n take much more of this. She gunna blow!
My son finds this enchantingly funny. I suspect he's younger than yours. He has had very little 'screen time' yet and hasn't seen any Star Trek.
Star Wars, well, he has a huge fantasy world based on Star Wars Legos. He play acts the various characters based on them and reading their bios in wookiepedia. In preschool, the kids would duel each other with this invisible 'life savers'. I miss those days.
My son is very sensitive (go figure) with a low threshold for imagery. Just yesterday we happily made it through the original trailer for the original Star
Wars. I felt so nostalgic. And it was so mild. I've only seen the first two ever.And the first one, I remember waiting for hours in freezing rain for tickets opening day. I still love it.
