LadyCrimson Posted September 8, 2006 Posted September 8, 2006 I could never get into DS9. I tried. I liked one very early episode where an alien was prey for hunters and he took pride in that, and I liked Odo, but that was about it. No space exploration, never liked the Ferrengi, the station was dull scenery. “Things are as they are.

Teh action lessened the narcoleptic effect of all the religious garbage contained within the whole emissary and wormhole aliens plot.

How many times can ship X visit planet A and violate the Prime Directive or help out planet A's people? Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed.
LadyCrimson Posted September 8, 2006 Posted September 8, 2006 I have no idea who the Jem Ha'dar are...were they Kira's people? I found her storyline pretty dull whenever they devoted episodes to it. I admit I didn't watch the last few seasons tho. By then I'd pretty much given up on the ST universe as a whole. And yeah, the old style, or any style, can get old...I guess for me it's really that for whatever reasons, the character groups/chemistry in all the series after TNG just didn't 'click' with me at all. “Things are as they are.

mr insomniac Posted September 9, 2006 Posted September 9, 2006 I could never get into DS9. I tried. I liked one very early episode where an alien was prey for hunters and he took pride in that, and I liked Odo, but that was about it. No space exploration, never liked the Ferrengi, the station was dull scenery. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That was the best of the DS9 episodes. ..but other than that, I never really cared for the show, although I tried as well. Happy B-Day Star Trek. I took this job because I thought you were just a legend. Just a story. A story to scare little kids. But you're the real deal. The demon who dares to challenge God. So what the hell do you want? Don't seem to me like you're out to make this stinkin' world a better place. Why you gotta kill all my men? Why you gotta kill me? Nothing personal. It's just revenge.
Nartwak Posted September 9, 2006 Posted September 9, 2006 (edited) I like the Ferengi, but otherwise my sentiments are the same as Lady Crimon's; though in DS9's defense I had scheduling issues and missed half the episodes. I only watched four episodes of Voyager and I didn't watch even a single episode of Enterprise. It really makes me sad that the franchise went into such a decline. Happy Birthday Star Trek. Edit: Nice, that link doesn't work. Thanks word filters! Change the **** to the s word that is a synonym for crap. Edited September 9, 2006 by Nartwak
Judge Hades Posted September 9, 2006 Posted September 9, 2006 Third and Fourth season Enterprise kicked ass.
Kaftan Barlast Posted September 9, 2006 Posted September 9, 2006 Voyager was almost as good as TNG, I dont think Ive missed more than 10 episodes during the whole 7 seasons. Still, black vulcans?

Nartwak Posted September 9, 2006 Posted September 9, 2006 (edited) Why do you think so? In my case I didn't watch it because all of the characters got on my nerves. Edited September 9, 2006 by Nartwak
LadyCrimson Posted September 9, 2006 Posted September 9, 2006 The Enterprise was the one that I didn't really see much of. By the time it started, the station that plays it here didn't come in well. Tried to watch it a couple times and it did look kinda interesting...different at least...but watching it through staticy snow became too troublesome. “Things are as they are.

Kaftan Barlast Posted September 9, 2006 Posted September 9, 2006 Why do you think so? In my case I didn't watch it because all of the characters got on my nerves. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I enjoyed it because it was the classic Star Trek concept of a lone ship on adventures in space. I did like the doctor though, but I found Tom Paris and Neelix quite annoying. Sometimes I think they create annoying characters on purpouse just so we'll watch the shows hoping they will meet with some gruesome fate.

metadigital Posted September 9, 2006 Posted September 9, 2006 So.. who is the best Captain? Kirk, Picard, Janeway or that guy from Quantum leap? I say Jean-Luc Picard all the way. He's both wise, clever and handsome plus he was in Dune which is an awesome film (the books suck) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Can: open. Worms: everywhere. :D (Go, go Kaftan!) SpockSulu Picard Kirk <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Spock had a disastrous term as Captain of the Enterprise: he presided over a mutiny! 1. Sisko (he did an amazing rendition of Sir Alec Guiness's character in The Bridge Over the River Kwai in one episode, though the whole series was meh) 2= Janaway (female commanders, come on!; of course the first few years are completely forgettable. Now if only Torres was a captain ... ) 2= Picard (Shakespearean skills to the fore) 3. Kirk, of course (cue Kirk versus Spock fight music ... ) 4.

metadigital Posted September 10, 2006 Posted September 10, 2006 I liked the never-explained-but-patently-obvious hommage to Doctor Who, too: did you notice that the emergency medical holograph never had a name, he was just "The Doctor"? :D OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT
LadyCrimson Posted September 10, 2006 Posted September 10, 2006 Voyager's holo-doc cracked me up; I did enjoy his character. I liked it even more when he showed up for a cameo in the Star Trek: First Contact film. “Things are as they are.
