I was in middle school. I watched it with my Uncle (who was in another timezone) on speakerphone.
To clarify... my uncle is the guy that got me into star trek to begin with; and scifi more broadly. We may had been visiting him and my aunt when I was like five or six, and my brother had a soccer thing in the area. I discovered his VHS collection, including TOS and all the movies that had been made. I was caught binging them when I was on Trouble With Tribbles- he had walked into the office/temporary bedroom, was like "HEY! this is my favorite episode. Rewind it while I go make popcorn!"
And then we proceeded to binge watch the rest of star trek.
I mean, it has nothing to do with being an uncle… but I do want to have the full collection….heh.
(I would love to watch Star Trek with the nieces and nephew. Unfortunately… they get scared by paw patrol. And not because they watched that one video about the previous police doggo…)
Hands down… he was the absolutely best uncle… I have a lot to live up to.
