I dont know how many of my friends out there used to watch Start Trek, but if you did and you liked it, you have got to get into the expanded universe. For example, since the last episode of Deep Space 9 that aired on TV: * The Borg have been utterly defeated but not before they destroyed over a dozen planets and around 2 trillion lives. * Deep Space 9 was destroyed and has been rebuilt. However, the President of the United Federation of Planets was assassinated during her keynote speech at the inauguration. * The people of Andoria, one of the founding members of the Federation, are in the midst of a horrible fertility crisis. Almost all pregnancies end in miscarriage. To make matters even worse, this species has FOUR genders so it takes FOUR people to have one child. This means the amount of time they have to solve this problem is cut down dramatically as it takes twice the effort of an Andorian family to replenish than it does a human family. * Captain Picard and Dr. Crusher are married and have a kid. * Riker is now a Captain of a new Luna class starship with slipstream drive. He and Troi are married and have a kid. * Janeway is an Admiral but was killed by the Borg. * Cardassia has applied to join the Federation and the Federation is helping to rebuild them after the Dominion war. * The Romulan Star Empire, the Tholian Assembly, the Holy Order of the Kenshaya, the Breen Confederacy, the Gorn Hegemony, and the Tzenkethi Coalition have banded together to form the Typhon Pact. The Galaxy is now more or less divided between them and the Khitomer Accords (The Federation, Klingon Empire, and their allies). * Andoria seceded from the Federation alleging the Federation had the technology to help their fertility crisis but withheld it. * Captain Sisko married Cassidy Yates and they have a child. * Section 31 is alive and well and have managed to obtain Bashirs reluctant help on several more occasions since the original Deep Space 9 shows. Seriously, if you liked the Star Trek shows, check out the books!
