jessm5 Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 I noticed that there's quite a few of us here who enjoy Star Trek, so I thought I'd provide a discussion forum solely related to it. Discuss whatever you want. I'll start with the obvious Star Trek topic... what's your favorite series? Mine is Next Generation. I have my Tivo set to record every episode that comes on which is really cool because there's so many that I haven't seen before and it's also neet to revisit some of the older ones. My favorite episodes so far are 'Yesterday's Enterprise' and 'The Inner Light.' I actually cried at the end of that one. I haven't seen many episodes of DS9 although I hear it's the best written series. So far I've enjoyed all of the episodes I've seen. -Jess Link to comment
Kanji Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 I'm a TNG fan myself just becuase I think Picard is one bad ass character. And yea I heard DS9 was well written, personally though I don't think it was all that great. I haven't really watched Star Trek in a while thoug, I've been a bit busy with Stargate SG1 and Atlantis, as well as trying to get Firefly back on the air. ^^ Link to comment
LokeanWolfe Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 Liked all of em... But all for different reasons... lol... TOS just because it was THE Original... and of course it had Spock... lol... TNG was pretty good once it got out of the first season and the characters took better shape... Q was great... Any thoughts on whether Q and the Squire of Gothos are one and the same? Grins... DS9.. Hmmmm... Not My favorite... But well written... I liked a few episodes... especially the one that went back and revisited the Trouble with Tribbles... lol.. let's see... Voyager is one of My favorites... again, after it got out of the first season... New territory, female captian, Borg, Vulcans, the Q... Ahhhhhh... and Endgame, the final two episodes... I think those would have made a far better movie than Nemesis... time travel and bringing down the Borg queen... hehe... And last of all... Enterprise.... I like how it's very... raw... rough around the edges.. just like you'd expect from a brand new Federation just starting out... the temporal cold war is fascinating.. touches on the Romulan Wars... building the history and filling in gaps from the other series.... Also like the background history on the Vulcans, and how they had to grow culturally between then and TOS... ~Loki Link to comment

Scarth Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 Myself im a DS9 fan with TNG a close second, also i got in the movie Trekkies 2 during the CONvegengce segment Link to comment
Morv Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 TNG and Voyager are my favorites of them... but sometimes I'm just in a mood and the original and Captian! Kirk's! Over! Acting! is the only thing that will do. Link to comment
Rhezz Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 Patrick Stewart is a good actor admitingly, but star trek is king of lame. heres a big L Link to comment
jessm5 Posted March 1, 2006 Author Share Posted March 1, 2006 Rhezz, Here's the deal: I tried really hard to find a good star trek insult or comeback. Instead, all I found were lists such as: "Unknown Facts about Phlox' Three Wives" and "What Star Trek Characters Give Up for Lent." I'll be the first to admit that stuff like that doesn't exactly help our cause. So instead, I've been forced to come up with a more original comeback. Yeah, well you're Lame! Link to comment

kaithlyn_d Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 lol i ain't that much older then rhezzy, and i love trek. ok my favorite series as so far is voyager, and best episodes were endgame. i have heard things on the next star trek movie, but they r non comfirmable, just things i have read from star trek communicator. i hope it is made soon though Link to comment
LokeanWolfe Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 How about.... IRRELEVANT or.... You WILL be assimilated! or... "I was out saving the galaxy when your grandfather was in diapers" -- Kirk "Resistance is futile." Insults are effective only where emotion is present. -- Spock "Oochy woochie goochy coo, Captain?" -- Spock "It would be most interesting to impress your memory engrams on a computer, doctor. The resulting torrential flood of illogic would be most entertaining." -- Spock "The more complex the mind, the greater the need for the simplicity of play.

Lance Bedwetter Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 Yeah I am a Trekkie. I have seen all of TNG, DS9, Voager, and Enterprise. I have seen a few of TOS, but it is hard to find it on TV. The other day I was reading (on Star Trek. com) that CBS is releasing several collections. Instead of being one season from one series, the colections are going to be the best episodes for that topic from all of the series. The fisrt one is the borg. with episodes from Enterprise, TNG, and Voager. The second one is time travel with episodes including "The City on the Edge of Forever." (TOS), "Yesterday's Enterprise" (TNG), "All Good Things..." (TNG), "Trials and Triblle...lations" (DS9), and "Endgame" (V). There are a few more in the time collection, but I can't think of what they are at the moment. As far as my favorite series goes, it is a tie between DS9 and TNG. Favorite episode by far is "Best of Both Worlds." TNG. Season 3 finally and season 4 pemire. "I am Lacotus of Borg. You will be asilmulated. You're induvisual and technological destinctiveness will be added to our own. Your soceity will adept to serve ours. Resitance is futile." Link to comment
jessm5 Posted March 3, 2006 Author Share Posted March 3, 2006 Favorite episode by far is "Best of Both Worlds." TNG. Season 3 finally and season 4 pemire. Why does everyone like that episode so much? (Earmuffs Rhezz...) I was on a website the other day that ranks each episode, and this one was one of the highest. I think it's a decent episode, but not one of the best. Is it because of how well it ties in with First Contact? Link to comment
Rhezz Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 Oh man its like watching a history movie, learn some ghetto Oh 4 sho! Link to comment

wetbuns Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 I've always been a trekkie / nerd / sci-fi nut, I think because of the ideas. Being an idealist doesn't limit you to this materialistic flesh and blood world; You can open your mind and fly into the next dimension (so, what you're saying is that time space and thought are connected? - the traveller - tng) and with an open mind there are no borders, no boundaries, no limits, and people are judged upon who they are, not what. I think it says "this is what things could be like". The fact we're ending up in more of a Robocop or Bladerunner style future says more about us than I think some people would like us to believe. Anyway, my favourite series is Voyager, some of which I've collected. (season 3 onwards) TNG would be my next favourite, but DS9 I'm not so keen on. The whole scale of things was great, but it was done soooooo much better by Babylon 5. I remember sitting down and seeing the first episode of startrek TNG; Damn, mum says she took me to the Cinema and I watched "close encounters of the third kind" open mouthed in awe and hanging on to the back of the seat in front; I suppose somethings must be inbuilt...

DIAPERPHANTOM Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 Love watching the original Star Trek and subsequent movies and TV series. Like many of you, I grew up with Star Trek and consider it to be one of the most influential TV series of all time. James Doohan and Jimmy Carter, at different times, went to sea on board the USS LOS ANGELES (SSN 688), a fast attack nuclear submarine, as guests. Needless to say, a picture of James Doohan was displayed on the bulkhead for many years. I think that says it all. It really saddens me to see the original cast in their later years and them passing one by one. You have a priceless memory kaithlyn_d (Heather), thought I would share this with you and others in Mr. Scott's memory. Link to comment
Valentine Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 You youngsters are lucky, when I was young there was a time when STAR TREK wasn't being aired. It was a living he11. Then a miracle occured and ST:TNG was created and low and behold you could see new episodes of the voyages of the Enterprise. It was great. I can't say that I have a favorite series, because all of them have had lame episodes and great episodes. Link to comment

SoCalAB Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 Great topic! I loved all of the shows but my least favorite was DS9. They never went anywhere until the second or third season when they got that cool stealth starship. By that time the show had lost my interest. I am a big time fan of ENTERPRISE and love that one episode when Lt. Reed was in his space suit pinned to the hull of the Enterprise by a Romunlan mine and admitted that he had to pee. I got some diapered pics of Captain Jonathan Archer actor Scott Bakula and some cool soundbites of two other captains mentioning diapers on my site. The link is below.

lil_baby_wet_n_squishy Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 My favorite star trek series is either ds9 or enterprise. Its a shame enterprise got cancled. I'm hopefull that another star trek series will come along and air on the sci-fi channel were it will get some respect and won't get cancled. Link to comment

kaithlyn_d Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 hi star trek is for the thinking people. lol just kidding. but seriously for those of us who are trekkies, then u'll understand that most of us r intellegent thoughtful, and all around more well adjusted then most ppl out there. we have a tendancy (big word) to understand the concept of right and wrong, the love of other ppl, lol right. and r more creative then most. i hope that soon there will b another series on tv, cos that is one i will definately watch . love yas all heather Link to comment
