Agreed.


Dark, dark story from what is normally a "Sunshines and Lolipops" franchise.

I actually liked Wesley's character, he brought something new to the show, and showed that it is okay to be a genius and showing it.

The very last episode of the series was the best to me. Shit it was better that the movie was.

I don't know. First Contact was fantastic.

Yeah, I think this is funny. What of it?

When Picard says "Q'pla!" and Worf looks over at Geordi is ****ing priceless humor

I've got some free time in these summer months, so I'm going to take a shot and see if I like Deep Space Nine.

I know you guys have said the back half of the episodes are the best. Would you recommend starting at the beginning then and wading through the boring stuff just so I've got the continuity in place?

Yes.

Season 1 is pretty brutal but after that it picks up nicely.

The show has a lot more heart than TNG.

Interesting. I'll remember that.

If you had to rank each series 1-5 how would it look? I notice that each list looks different nearly every time for every Trekkie. My buddy who got me interested told me it went like this for him:

TNG
Voyager
Original
DS9
Enterprise

Mine would be DS9, TNG, Original, Enterprise and

















Voyager

It's a quality show. There are a few stinkers but in general all of the seasons are good quality. [I hate the Sisko emissary storyline though.]

Don't skip any. The later seasons have much longer story arcs and the first few seasons are fairly episodic, but there wasn't a single season I didn't enjoy. You will also miss out on a lot of character development if you skip the early seasons.

This.

Avery Brooks was a badass as a bald Hawk in "Spenser: For Hire". When they hired him to captain the new "Trek" series I was pumped. Then the first season started, and here was this laid-back wimp with testicle-fuzz on his head. I was sorely disappointed. Once they allowed him to shave his head and be bald again, his character became more badass Hawk-style and the show was much better.

This.

There is actually a good amount of tie in and history discussed in the earlier episodes that help you make more sense out of the later episodes. There is good character development with not only the DS9 crew, but also with the Bajoran religious leaders such as Kai Winn, Vedek Bareil, and the political situation with the Cardassians, Federation, and Bajorans.

The eps of Ds9 I got to watch were usually nop notch. The good: Badass Sisko, Dominion War, Bashir/O'brien bromance, comedic aspects (usually at Worf's expense), Worf joining the cast, the Maquis... Ogling at Leeta and Dax to a lesser extent.

The meh: Odo's existential crisis

The bad: Allamariane, count to one...
