I can't be the only Star Trek nut on the forum.
I found all the old episodes.

Dang Trekkies! I missed the original series with shatner but I saw the voyager with the women captain, and enterprise with john archer.. The movie was great too!

vikingBerserker · 07-18-2009, 02:27 AM

I remeber it was the one night I could stay up late tv, and very cutting edge for it's days in dealing with current issues. Harry Mud was one of my favorite charactor.

Thanks for the link wheels!

You're not, although I prefer ST: TNG, ST: VOY and ST: DS 5.

Njaco · 07-18-2009, 07:58 AM

While I wouldn't consider myself a trekkie, I do like the series. Original ST and ST:TNG were my favs.

My wife and I were dating when the origional show was on.When it moved to Friday night we didn't go out on Fridays.All our freinds thought we were nuts. Do you remember John Colocos "it would have been glorious" ?

I like them all too
I got a bit tired of 'meeting the relatives' on ST:TNG and some of the episodes on ST: DS9 were just plain humdrum - the Dominion Wars perked that up a bit. Prior to that it ran the risk of becoming a soap in space.

Ironically, some of the storylines for ST:ENT were the best of the lot.

The problem with the Star Trek universe is that the timeline was riddled with contradictions, too much backing and forthing and trying to remember (or possibly, not) to fit it in to the sequence; they should have done the Enterprise B, then C, then D. Of course, in that case, they should have done ST:ENT before ST:TOS.

Other things, minor but noticeable if you're paying attention, Deanna declaring a society 'primitive, they still pair-bond in lifelong marriages' then a couple of episodes later Jean-Luc meeting an old friend, a Federation scientist who was 'on his third marriage'... Oh?

In a utopia devoid of capital, it always made me wonder what Starfleet personnel were using to pay for drinks at Quark's bar and what exactly was meant by a 'captain's salary'?

Enjoyable and I miss it but I think it came to the end of the line because it wasn't thought through thoroughly enough and it lacked rawness. I haven't seen any of the latest Battlestar Galactica but I hear it set the new standard for sci-fi.

thought through thoroughly? - any non-English speakers having trouble with that?

Nope, I can think it through thoroughly all the way through in thinking thoughtful thoroughness.

What do you think???

I was almost not going to see the new Star Trek movie because I have been a bit of a purist with Star Trek. It took me quite a while to get used to Picard as a Captain. I did watch a bit of DS9, but got a little bored with it. Janeway's character on Voyager annoyed me. She always seemed to have the answer, like a know it all.

But when I saw the Star Trek Movie that recently came out, I was very pleased. They did a fabulous job with it, keeping it just campy enough to match the original series, but still fresh and interesting. I love how they opened it up for a whole new series, or series of movies.

ToughOmbre · 07-18-2009, 09:48 AM

Nice find Wheels!

Love the original series, and the 2009 movie.

Don't care much for the rest of the ST shows/movies.

I always watched TNG growing up, and the originals when they were on, mostly because that was the only "allowed" SciFi on TV. The original series had some great storylines, but I found the sets to be rather cheap (I am able to look over that now, knowing it was top-of-the-line for its time). I found Pickard to be rather wussy as a captain, always wanting to make friends with the mean nasty aliens shooting at him and killing his crewmembers (darn jinxed red shirts!!!). Didn't really get into the other spin-offs, either. I was rather burned out on Trek at that time (of course, this happens quickly, when your first name is "James" and your parents liked "Kirk" for a middle name....seriously....and they're not even Trekkies!). The movie was good, though. Except for the part where Starfleet, in all its collective wisdom, decides to promote a 2nd-year academy student to full Captain of a Starship. That's alot of training to skip. Other than that little unbelievable bit, the rest of the movie was excellent!

I believe the movie was a prequel to the original series, and it didnt suck as bad as starwars episode 1,2, and 3 (regarding prequels). I do hope they make more movies with it though, I think it re-introduced a lot of people to the fading star trek era. Loved seeing old spock in it!

Great character, played to the hilt by Roger C. Carmel.

I liked TNG too BB.
I didn't watch it until the second season because I was still pi**ed that they didn't use the original cast.
The Data character hooked me in to watching.

Great episode but it did affect the future storylines quite a bit.
It kept it from becoming a space war series according to Gene Roddenberry.

I wasn't really listening to anything her character said...

I haven't seen the new Battlestar Galactica either but I have also heard that it is very good.

I haven't seen it yet but I keep hearing good thing about it.
After Kirk I agree it took a while to get used to Picard's cerebral captaining.
Not sure how you felt about the Guinan character that Whoopi played but I felt it fit into the show nicely.

It made more sense to me after reading Shatner's book and him describing the how the crew would go through the dumpsters looking for odd things to use as part of the set.
It was also filmed at Desilu studios which was on its final leg. It was where "I love Lucy" had been filmed.
Desilu-Desi Arnaz & Lucille Ball, if you know their history you'll know why the studio was in decline.

All the episodes are on CBS.com too.
