Waiting for Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and Frasier...

None of the other Star Trek series come close to Voyager and DS9.

If you have access to Heros & Icons channel (over the air here), they broadcast ALL of the Star Trek series SIX days a week.

Thank you.

Have Voyager, DS9 and Frasier on Netflix.

Going through Frasier now with wife and daughter. And Voyager at BBC America every now and then.

that's right,

the others are sooooo much better,


esp TOS

Kirk overacted and Picard is an alien.

I record Voyager from the BBC channel three times a week, about 6 episodes back to back each day it's on. I do prefer the later episodes with 7 of 9, she is great looking but has a good sense of humor once in awhile too.

I watched all the ST iterations, but really only truly enjoyed the later years of TNG. Everything else just seemed the best of a handful of fairly bad choices of what to watch, at the time.

I really enjoy the last 4 seasons of DS9. They have one of the best story arcs in all of ST - it's the Dominion War arc, and lasts an entire 4 seasons.

And we FINALLY got to see good space battles. I love it.

I like TNG the best. I didn't care for the messiah sotryline of DS9. Although, the kid (Krusher) also had a messiah storyline about him also but they did wrap that up somewhat.

For classical sci-fi storyline treatments, the original was the best and I appreciate it.

No one can deny the influence that the original Star Trek had on science fiction film.

Or the influence that the James T. Kirk School of Acting had on mass media types.

For example, here's a shot of Kirk ordering an attack on a Klingon vessel.



And here's a shot of Kirk professing his love to a romantic interest.



And a shot of Kirk's reaction when he was unable to replicate the live-long-and-prosper Vulcan sign.



And when his spirit is overtaken by irresistible alien forces.

TNG and DS9 for me. Voyager was acceptable at times. Enterprise made me throw up in my mouth a bit. TOS will always be a sweet classic.

Ignore Enterprise. It's not canon, despite what people who are wrong will say.

TOS was what it was and that was revolutionary for the time.

TNG hit a certain stride around Season 3. There were critical episodes in Season 2 (Q Who?, for example), but Season 3 really started diving into the multi-season / larger universe plot arcs which would carry through the remainder of the series and set the stage for DS9.

DS9 is to the ST universe like Empire is to Star Wars. Dark, but easily the best, particularly towards the end.

Voyager... it's fluff. Enjoyable at times, annoying at others. That said, I've been binge watching it on Netflix when I've been puttering around the house doing other things and have managed to get through almost half of season six since I started back in January.

I sometimes refer to Season 1 as the "throwback" season, since they were pretty blatantly trying to copy whatever they could from TOS. It was the first time ST had been on the small screen in decades and they had to tie in as well as they could.

From the mini-dresses to the 2-dimensional alien planet set designs, they did a pretty good job. Then they realized that they could actually make a go of this and updated things.

On that note, I was never a Troi fan, but it was a little sad (but appropriate) when Jellico made her wear a uniform.

-Rob

I thought she looked much better in the uniform, actually.

Meh. You're probably right. Her green dress was awful. IIRC, she did sport one of the mini-dress uniforms at Farpoint.

Not really a fan, like I said.

-Rob

Captain, I sense...a presence.



I actually like her most in the modern, DS9 style:

I couldn't take DS9 much at all, Avery Brooks is just an awful actor, as over the top as Shatner was/is, but without whatever the "magic" Shatner has always had that makes him amusing.

Voyager? Meh...
