Any of you trekkies like to discuss anything here? I thought some rather interesting things were mentioned by Nightshift in the "super-weapon" poll started by Blitzkrieg....

Startrek is ok not the best but ill watch it. I used to hate it but now its all good.

star trek is the worst show that has ever grased the airways.

Paulmer, if you're going to make an argument like that, support it somehow!

Wow paulmer you either hate science fiction (you said in my movie topic that you hated star wars) or, you don't understand Star Trek. Maybe you haven't seen a good s.t. movie? As Nightshift said,


WHY?

Personally, I like Next Generation and Deep Space 9 about the same, I like Voyager slightly less, the Original Series is good for laughs, and Enterprise is disgusting.

The main problem with the original series, as I see it, is William Shatner. Scripts for that show were written by some excellent SF/horror writers. Case in point - Robert Bloch, who wrote the script for "The Enemy Within" (episode where Kirk gets split into Good Kirk and Evil Kirk) also wrote Psycho. Also, many of the writers also wrote for The Twilight Zone (a much better show in which, on the episode "Nightmare at 20,000 Feet, Will Shatner displays some of the only good acting of his career). However, William Shatner and the low-budget production managed to make many episodes laughable at best and asinine at worst.

In TNG, we got a competent actor playing the captain, a more complex emotionless science-person in the form of Data, and overall a much better show. The character Q - one of my favorites - is introduced.

I haven't seen much DS9 for a while.... but it's gone downhill since then.

Anyway.

Way to be a trekkie fez. See Starwars is better cause its short and sweet but
Startrek is great too. But if your som crazy guy who gets off to kirk saying "theres cling ons on the starboard bow then you need to get a life.

Haha CLING ONS. just to tell you Blitz, its Klingons, but if you said that to make a point, its mad funny.

like i said im not the biggest fan

yes, exactly. i hate science and sci-fict, the matrix was good tho

Well, my dad recently bought the whole first set of ST episodes on DVD, and the first season was ok, but after that it went down hill...fast. personaly, my fav epsode was Mirror Mirror, only because it was what started the idea of Star Trek: Shattered Universe (an OK game for the PS2)

How's the game? I was thinking of buying it myself.

meh, kinda so so, in one lvl, your stuck going against 4 ships (looking like an older version of the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701) all controled by the M5 unit, and your stuck with one ship, the U.S.S (or I.S.S in this case)Excelsior, under the Cmd. of Sulu. The first mission though, after being sucked through a space vortex (along with the enterprise which is under the Cmd. of Checkov (or Bester, for those of you who have seen B-5), you find that both ships have been replaced with thier 'Mirror Mirror' doubles, and the enterprise has been effected fully, but the Exclsior hasn't, only physicly(sp?). The shuttles have been replaced with fighters so a fight between the two ships gose on, and the first vortex that you got there through, breaks apparet, and implodes on itself, so you have to fight your way to the other Space Vortex, that enough? (srry, but i getting lazy...can't type anymore)
