9Star trek was my first introduction to english. I used to bug my sister every 5 seconds to ask her to translate. (aaaaah those were the days
 ) The original series were fun, although they're quite dated now. The next generation was the best in my view. I didn't see all too much from DS9 because it was rather *coughboringcough* it only got vaguely interesting during the war. It's in no way like B5. (the two seasons I saw from B5 before they stopped airing it were MUCH beter than DS9) Voyager wasn't bad, but it didn't reach the level of TNG, still got to see that last seasons though. And enterprise, well they haven't started airing it yet here. But from what I've heard it isn't grand.

FYI -- NPR is doing a story on Star Trek today (on All Things Considered, I think).

I'm a Ringer first and foremost, then comes Pirates of the Caribbean, but Star Trek is pretty good. I'm going with my sister (who is the person to talk to if you're a Trekkie- she is die-hard Trek) to a Star Trek convention soon.

I haven't seen POTC - it may be good, but even if it is, it isn't *that* good; not a classic or anything. Most people that I have talked that like it like it because of the hot guys - and well that is no attraction for me, will see it on cable. -- I've probably posted this before but- not a trekkie, but i do like star trek - ive been to a convention once like 5 years ago Star Trek - good, very dated - probably seen all episodes, most movies TNG- best of all star trek, seen most episodes, not all (especially of earlier seasons). DS9 - ok, not that great. boring. Voyager - pretty good, better than DS9 - i agree with many that it was not as good as TNG Enterprise - pretty HORRIBLE. I tried watching the first season, saw most episodes - and a majority sucked. I tune into it every once in a blue moon now - sometimes it is entertaining, mostly not.

 I know, I'm obsessed with the movie, but in my estimation it's better that the whole of Star Trek. So I will live and die the sole member of the POTC Forever! club.

I agree with everything HOBBIT said in his last post about the StarTreks except one thing. I don't think Enterprise is that bad.
My favorite series by far is TNG. It had the best cast -- Yes, even better than the original, though that comes in a close second. It had the best plots -- My friend likes DS9 because he said that it has more of a continuing plot from episode to episode, but to me that is kinda like spreading the butter too thin (don't think Bilbo). While DS9 may have had a very nice overall story line, every single episode of TNG had at least a good or interesting plot.

In the non-geek 'outside' world I guess I could be considered a trekkie. But I can only really enjoy TNG, and I've always been strapped for money so I'm not a collector.

I went to that ST convention with my sister and saw William Shatner, got his autograph. Cool, but guess what? They said there that the reason Nemises flopped was because they released it 5 days before LOTR: TTT. I went "Yussss!!!"- and didn't get lynched, believe it or not- but I thought that was sooo cool that LOTR beat ST!

Nemisis was bad. Data died. It was a cool way to die though. I went to an ST con and saw Mark Alaimo, Jeffery Combs, and Casey Biggs (Gul Ducat, Weyon, and Damar for you un DS9 trekkies). It was cool. Mark Alaimo was drunk I think.

Oh man! Discovered original Star Trek on re-runs while a junior higher in mid-70's... GREAT STUFF! I even liked the old Captain Pike crew shown in the one flash back episode ("Menagerie").
Didn't like NG at first and gave up after 3-4 episodes (all seemed rip-offs of orginal series). Couple years later, gave it another chance at the urgings of friends... had indeed become a good show. Liked the continuity across episodes - which wasn't really considered a necessary ingredient when the first was done in the 60's. As each new spin-off comes, I get less and less interested. Really haven't warmed to Enterprise (they introduce Klingons in the very first episode and their home world is within 4 days at Warp 4???  Then they were right under the Federation's armpit in Kirk's day!   ).Thought they missed one golden opportunity with Voyager though... on the last episode, when 7 of 9 married Chicotah (SP?) - after the ceremony she should've turned to him and said (warmly) "You will be assimilated!" And then end the show right THERE!  |

I'm a pretty green trekkie...I've watched the first movie with Kirk, about to watch the second (tonight), and I've watched two Picard movies; and a few episodes of TNG, which IS the best so far
