TOS is still my favorite Trek. Technically it was my first, because I watched a few of the movies at the time they came out - and THEN I discovered that there was a TV series running, which was TNG, and then came DS9... but I never saw an episode of TOS, just the movies, until a year or so before the reboot showed up. I worked third shift at the time, and was flipping channels late at night on one of my days off, and happened to come across it. Smitten. So very smitten. I just love old-school sci-fi, before it became basically action movies with energy weapons and aliens. (Not that those types of sci-fi can't also be fun, but old-school sci-fi seems to be more about parables and philosophy and IDEAS rather than actions, and I find that really interesting.)

And then there's From Eroica With Love, a manga that has been running off and on since 1976. My girlfriend got hooked on it via fanzines in I think the 90s or something, and had a bunch of scanlations, then when it got a domestic release finally about ten years ago, she brought the first couple volumes to read on the plane when she came out to visit me, and told me to read it.

I was hooked pretty much at the same point she was, where she had had it described to her and she went "...That's the CANON?" Basically the scene in question involves the declaration "The world's fate depends on his underwear!" and ... it is entirely serious and true. And HILARIOUS.
