I personally like Enterprise series. More modern than the original series even though it is set before the first Enterprise 1701-A. It has a lot of story and the characters are very well depicted in the series. Also, it shows how Vulcans think and interact.

I would like to see the Voyager series too. Too bad they don:t show it here in Singapore.

Ya know, there are more than three ST movies. My favorite of which would be Wrath of Khan.

As for the series, I've never seen DS9, so I can't speak for it, but even in the general naiveté of the entire show, I still like TNG the best. Followed closely by Enterprise, because it is finally getting on the road of sci-fi, instead of a happy fairy tale.

DS9 was only really any good after the fourth season started, what with the war and all, but after that it was great. I do like Voyager, thought they have a habit of writing lame-ass charcter-based episodes instead of ass-kicking explosion epsiodes. And, of course, Jennifer Lien is |33+

That said, 'Scorpion' was fantastic

Yahuh, DS9 was best series IMHO. However, ST II: WOK/ III: SFS was best movie(s). I mean... just listen to the sound track alone.

"Kirk's Exploisive Reply"
"Bird of Prey Decloaks"

The Original Series here, A lot of people ***** about Kirks sexism etc... but I just love the humor, it's still lost none of its punch after all this time. I love it.

*agrees*

That aside, anything involving the pre-wimpified Borg ruled.

I haven't seen either DS9 or Voyager all the way through - I'm working on DS9 with my brother, watching 1-3 episodes every few days.

We got up to 2x08 (inclusive) last night.

I love KazaaLite.

Can't believe how badly they ruined the Borg...

The more i watch ST now, the more it annoys me. Stupid technobabel and its always "lets find a nice peace, ethical, politically correct solution to everything". Still Enterprise is the best of the lot really.

Star Dragon · **Reply #9 on:** October 15, 2002, 10:08:46 am

Besides STII WOK was awesome. The starship combat was best yet, Kirk's family problems, Spock killed off, GENESIS!, The awesome music and nebula fight music (I used it when I recreated that scene in Klingon Academy with Wimamp)

BTW reliant got her A$$ kicked!, and later I killed kirk , then Sulu (but Sulu was harder to kill, damn good helmsman in his day)... I dropped a Genesis device on Earth for the glory of the Empire!

Damn I'm so hyped up I'm wave capturing like crazy baby! Someone revive the Star Trek mod! (Make it so, Mr. Tricorder!)

Other than that I love anyting ST...

Now if only we can get back Space 1999 and Buck Rogers!

Try Babylon 5, it doesnt suffer from that much. A few years ago when I felt the same way about ST it was a great alternitive. Takes about 5 episodes to get into it though.

Hardly any technobabel and lots of nice death and destruction to keep it dark. Babylon 5's idea of peace is a skirmish invloving less than 20 ships.

I like them all equally, even Enterprise. I guess thats because I just take it as it is without trying to figure out how it all fits into the greater Trek scheme of things and as such am able to enjoy it more than those who scrutinise every little thing and complain when it doesn't fit in. I understand why the fans ***** about certain things (particularly in Enterprise. There's enough material in that time period with the Romulan war and all to make a fairly decent series without having to butcher established Trek precedents) and while it does bug me somewhat, I don't let it interfere with my enjoyment of the series.

Your not appealing to everyone here. You left out the option "Star Trek sucks you stupid trekkie nerd lumps of crap!!"

Petrarch of the VBB · **Reply #16 on:** October 15, 2002, 01:05:26 pm

Enterprise has Star Wars Ep1 and 2 syndrome.

i.e. incontinuity.

In TOS klingons are discovered by the Fed FOR THE FIRST TIME! Yet in the first ep of Enterprise what do we have but Klingons! Archer's Enterprise is 150 older than Kirk's but looks 200 years more advanced. They have to press a button to open the doors, but even today we have doors that open as you approach! There are ferengi in it, and they didn't come in until Picard's era! In Picard's ready room he has a plaque of all the ships called enterprise. It goes straight from the present day carrier to NCC1701, where's Archer's ship?

I could go on.

Er, nope. In TOS, it was established that there had been a disatarous first contact with the Klingons, and several skirmishes of varying degrees led to the formation of the Klingon Neutral Zone (I think - my TOS is a little hazy)

Somewhere, I assume either the ready room or the conference room, is a model of a ship that was none of the Enterprises, or the carrier or the shuttle. Turns out, Rodenberry designed it for a ST series that he never made... or at least, he never saw made.

Tell you what else, it worries me slightly to think that E:FC was written back in the 60's... course, I don't imagine Rodenberry ever envisioned it turning so crap after the first season...

Remember the DS9 Episode "Trouble with Tribbles Revisited" a tribute to TOS?

Well I was ROTFL when the waitress points to "those Klingons" TOS ones and everyone looks at Worf like

?

WORF: "We don't talk about it with outsiders"...

Ok that established something happened between TOS and STTMP... Even Kang, Koloth and the rest appear in DS9 as elderly warriors in one last battle but never explained their physical change?

Now the big kick in the A$$... The Klingon they found on ENTERPRISE is a modern one...

?

Ok back up, so you have a modern Klingon in Archer's time. GO back to B &W human looking Klingons for Kirk's time, and back to modern ones for STTMP timeline??? Give me a freaken break. of all the mess ups to me that is the worst!!!

Is Rick Berman involved with ENTERPRISE? (would explain some things)

Look, there's nothing they could have done about it. If TOS had had the budget of TNG, no doubt the old-skool Klingons would have had the faces as well. Frankly, the DS9 writers should have chosen a different episode to go back to, one without Klingons...
