I'd say the best time to be a trek fan would be circa 1992. TNG was going strong, Star Trek 6 had just come out and restarted an ailing franchise after the trainwreck of "The Final Frontier", and DS9 was on the launching pad.
As it is today, Star Trek has been driven off the small screen by a rather lackluster "Enterprise," the cinema world still can't get the aftertaste of "Nemesis" out of its mouth, and I fear, after much of what I have read, the new movie will be more like ST: 90210 than Wrath of Khan. Thus I'm not holding my breath with expectation.
You are right, however, that the remastered OS is quite stunning.
Have to disagree
