i looked for a star trek thread & didn't see any, so i made one. i figure there must be some trek fans here. BGS is produced & written by ron moore, who wrote & produced for the star trek series; the next generation, deep space nine & voyager you know.
so use this tread to discuss the upcoming movie, the term trekkie vs. the term trekker, kirk vs. picard. would star trek: enterprise have gone 7 seasons if ron moore was involved? anything trek related. --------------------  scott/archer fan? then go to archersangels.com my blog such as it is the star trek thread here in the entertainment zone |

DS9 - Best Trek Eva!
Well at least to me =). I'm a huge fan of serialized TV shows, which was basically the whole Dominion arc. --------------------  |

I've liked all the Treks I've seen (which means all the TV shows minus the Animated Series, and assorted movies). I'm fondest of Voyager for Janeway, Enterprise for the opening theme (which I am convinced was written for the Doctor from Doctor Who), and TNG for the Borg and Q episodes. And give me a book, and I've wasted the next couple of hours.

I'm actually one of those that loved Enterprise. I really wish the trekies would have given it a chance. To many of them just didn't like the changes. Well hello, anything can change when time travel is involved.
I also loved Star Trek: Nemesis with the clone Picard. That Romulan dreadnaught was awesome. I'm just pissed they can't finish the Data arc, or his chance to come back. I also can't wait till the new movie comes out. --------------------  |

Count me in as another DS9 junkie. The best of the bunch. (I still preferred Babylon 5, but DS9 came close to its greatness).

TNG is my second favorite for Borg, Q, and Riker/Troi (come on, I'm still a girl lol). I actually remember watching the very first episode when I was 6 years old lol!
Liked Voyager because of Janeway. I'm a huge fan of kick ass female characters. -------------------- |

QUOTE(Darth Kat @ Mar 29 2008, 09:16 PM) *High five* Loved Babylon 5. My favorite Sci Fi TV show. Dittos here. B5 "changed my sci-fi religion" you might say. But, as far as Star Trek goes, I stopped watching after the first couple episodes of Deep Space Nine. I know it got better, but by then I was working all kinds of odd shifts, and I just couldn't get into it. I remember catching the premier for Voyager and pretty much deciding not to bother making any further effort. So, count me in as a TOS and TNS guy, primarily. As for the movies, ST II is the best, followed by ST: Nemesis, followed by ST III. |

netflix is a good on-line rental site if you want to catch-up on what you missed IMHO. i started with TOS & went on from there, even though i've seen all of them at least 3 times. my brother is like; "you've seen these!" i'm like "so what?" LOL i'm a die-hard trek fan.

I love the idea of trek... all of 'em... The concept of the future, where interstellar travel is possible... Which of course is Firefly's appeal...
There are other contributing factors, the characters being formost. Still... the idea of finding beings that don't resemble us-- to me a huge draw, that evolved out of the IDIC... Infinite Dirversity in an Infinite Cosmos. The concept of creation being a sea of vast diversity... that has always sounded good to me. I grew up with Fireball XL5... anybody old enough to remember that? Marrionettes before the time of Team America. That there might be advanced Robotics... Asimov's three laws... And, of course the Borg. We are the Borg... It remains a horrifying thought, And every time we get too big for our britches... I remember it again. We keep finding new life forms on the planet... it seems reasonable that we'll find new ones with an alternate biology once we get off-wolrd. -------------------- You can't stop the signal, Mal

i think that IDIC = infinite diversity in infinite combinations, but either way it's a concept that we should embrace on earth before we go "out there"

Maybe I'm in the minority, but I never thought "Enterprise" was a bad show.
Yeah, it did violate some cannon early on but they tried to fix that towards the end. If it had a problem it was that Paramount had done so much Trek it was getting hard to do something new. I am looking forward to the new movie due out next year. |

My hubby and I are BIG trek fans. We have copies of all TOS and all the TNG's. As well as all the movies.
I love the idea of of the world living in harmony...and in peace with other planets. Also, a lot of their technology has come to pass. It's all very cool. --------------------  made by Guen001 |

I just thought it was a good show. -------------------- |

I am looking forward to the new movie due out next year. i never understood why they thought going backwards was a good idea. roddenberry was all about moving forwards. if they felt like they had exhausted the nextgen 24th century universe, then the answer would have been to reboot in the 25th century. space the final frontier. these are the voyages of the starship enterprise, ncc1701-G. a new crew, a new time, same mission, to seek out and explore. but nooooooo. america wants prequels, right? paramount knows its fans and they know we are dying for a bastardized kirk and spock at the academy. /sarcasm --------------------  |
