Kirk is still the best Star Trek captain of all times!!!!

'Inner Light' is the best written and most emotional of all the episodes of TNG. Before 'Best of Both Worlds' there was talk of the show being cancelled. The good moments in season 1 and 2 were few and far between.

I go back to the TOS days, but I have to call DS9 the best series. Some were turned off by the spiritual nature of the first season, but in truth everything that happened in those early episodes led up to the finale. They had some very good actors and characters on that show and worked together very well.

Voyager is the anti-DS9. Horrible acting, almost as bad as Enterprise. Enterprise hired their crew to be the best looking crew, not for their acting ability. On Voyager Robert Beltran could have read his lines offstage while they showed a cardboard cutout of him and the emotional result would have been the same. When your best actor plays a character who isn't even real, there's some trouble. They spat out the scientific poop and hit the temporal reset button so many times it broke. They even had one episode where the Doc's mobile emitter was found thousands of years later with his program inside. He showed up in the next episode with no explanation. The only thing that saved that show from cancellation was 7 of 44DD.

Eh. As a character he's a little shallow until the movies.

Sisko > Picard > TOS Kirk

The nice thing about religion in DS9 (and star trek in general) is it's really a mirror for our own culture.

DS9 does a great job showing how religion can either be a force for good or for evil.

Heh. My buddy and I were talking about how each alien race reflects a current ethnic/national/racial identity.

(Yes, these are jokes. Don't get offended)

Cardassians = Russians/Soviets
Bajorans = Afghanis/Iraqis
Ferengi = Jews
Vulcans = Chinese
Betazoids = Australians
Romulans = Nazi Germany

When does this come on Netflix Streaming again?

The Klingons were supposed to be Russia in STVI.

The Cardassians are Nazi Germany and the Romulans are the Japanese. That makes the Bajorans Jews though and I'm not sure where the Dominion fit in. Oh, wait, the Dominon are the Catholic Church. :evil:

QFT

For some reason I enjoy Voyager and I think I figured out why:

It's like popcorn cartoon star trek.

Only with live action.

Never could watch Enterprise. No LCARS, NO WATCHING!

Voyager got much better after the first 2 seasons. Still does not hold a candle to STTNG or DS9.

The last one

Gotta give TNG credit.

Until Picard, male leads had always been either male model types, or quirky, eccentric characters.

Picard was an older, balding, frail looking man, who had no funny quirks or eccentricities, and I thought at the time that it would never work.
No one was going to buy into his character.

But Stewart sold the character, and he became the epitome of authority and leadership.



You are not alone.

Not sure about swagger, but he was, as I said, the very picture of authority.

And I'd trade you 5 Uhura's for Ensign Ro.

And what I want to know is,what the hell is wrong with Ryker?

That guy walked like he had a board coming out of his ass and nailed to his left side.

Not a big Trekie as such, although over teh years, it ends up being what was on tv that night type of thing. But the wife is a HUGE trekkie, AND Star Wars fan.

Origional series:
The wives of Harry Mudd (may have title wrong)
Dude makes all these slammen women, Kirk figures out that lying to one short circuts them, Mudd gets left with a version of his dead wife who wont shut up

The trouble with Tribbles:
Only name title that ever stuck in my head.

Enterprise:
I actually liked that series, the Vulcan was HOT!! Loved the episode where it went back and showed how they did the first Warp flight.

Next Gen:
Pick one. The whole series was great. Every series has high and low points, but for a series to pick up where Capt.Kirk left us....Bravo!!

Deep Space 9:
The tall brunett with lepord spots is all I cared for on that one. Just couldn't get into it at all

Voyager:
By this time I'm burned out on ST,NG,DS9, but I loved the one where Harry manages to send 7 of 9 the message from the future that they will die if they don't change how they try a new warp design. In real time they follow the new small craft Harry builds, he and his partner make it back, Voyager ends up crashing on a planet. He figures out how to tap into 7of9's borg mind and send a message that stops the whole thing from happening.

He wore a corset after he started getting fat.
