    You know how most opinions are subjective and it's okay to like certain things more than others even if other people disagree with you?

    Liking Voyager more than DS9 is not one of those times.

    Star Trek Generations had issues and yet it also had so, so many good moments. I think they actually redeem that movie.

    Generations main problem is that it builds, and builds, and builds on Picard meeting Captain Kirk for the first and only time having them both on screen together and when you finally get to that scene it's like...

    .....
    .....
    .....
    .....
    .....
    .....
    Kay.

    And I would have liked to see more serious development from Data with the emotion chip instead of just making him the comic relief as always. Although, those two scenes above are legitimately funny.

    I didn't like it. It didn't feel Trek-ish to me. But to be fair I haven't watched it since it came out and I quit watching it early on because I didn't like it.

    I didn't think it felt Trekkish at first, but I chalked that up to being a part of its charm. It's a show set in the Trek universe before they could use all of the "cheat-sheet" technologies and it felt scrappier than all of the others. However, I can see why a lot of people didn't like it. Knowing what the future hold sorts of sucks away a lot of potential drama for people.

    In addition, where as the other shows has stronger over-arching plotlines, Enterprise had a very wonky one in all of the time travel they did. Previous captains collectively shuddered and did whatever they could to end time-travel episodes as soon as possible (or it was all Q's fault). Archer got stuck with having one for what felt like every episode a season, for all seasons.

    EVERY TIME I TRY TO POST IN THIS THREAD THE SITE SPAZZES IT BETTER LET ME POST THIS TIME!

    Enterprise was largely forgettable for the first season. The first worthy thing of note is Xindi's attack on Earth leading to the Enterprise crew going after them. Then it kind of staggers again until the fourth season where the episodes were progressively getting better and better. Borderland, Cold Station 12, The Augments, The Forge, Awakening, In a Mirror, Darkly Part 1 and 2 were all simply fantastic.

    There is no argument and there is no denying the Original Series was by far the best Star Trek to ever see the light of day.

    Agreed. TOS has more classic episodes than you can shake a stick at and many of them will stick out to you at the title.

    Danielle and I finished the full TNG series a few months ago (at a guess) and are just starting the third season of DS9. I'm pretty excited because Dominion.

    I like the new movies and know nothing about old series aside from what I picked up from the Simpsons and Futurama.
    Infact I just came here to say I really like the movie Galaxy Quest.
    Kefka's coming, look intimidating!

    The thing that makes DS9 so great is that it actually has an overarching long-term story. I mean, it's no Babylon 5 (everyone watch Bab 5 it makes Trek look awful and Trek is not awful) but it is a great show in part because of that.

    Of course, Voyager has an overarching long-term story and is pretty poor so...
