This has nothing to do with JJ Trek versus classic Trek or anything related.
What started you watching Trek and what attracts you to it?
For me I started with TOS and have watched every series and film.
What attracts me? The underlying optimism for one thing. Trek always had an underlying optimistic view of life regardless of the specific events going on. Problems are overcome, people come together and the Federation in spite of occasional warts has clear values and stands for them.
In the same vein the camaraderie of the characters is appealing. In TOS, TNG, VOY and ENT you got a real feeling that they are not just a crew that happens to serve together - they really are there for each other when it counts. That is uplifting which may be my biggest "gain" from Trek.
How about you?
