Philosophy of fanboy-ism

I'm trying to figure out if the reason that I disliked the original series of Star Trek was because I had been a fanboy of The Next Generation or if the reason I'm enjoying the original series now is because I'm a fanboy of the new movie.

I'm not sure why, but the paragraph above reminds me of the question, "Can God make a rock so heavy that even he can't lift it?"

Yesterday, I watched the first 4 episodes of the original Star Trek on Netflix's Watch Instantly. The episodes that are up are the newly re-mastered versions. I had expected the newly-done special effects to stick out like the effects in the re-done versions of Star Wars, but I've actually been quite impressed. They look like cleaner versions of older effect methods rather then mish-mash of old tech vs new tech in the Star Wars movies.

Spock rocks!
