My name is Dissident and I admit I'm a trekkie- There's like 2 weeks till Nemesis!!!!

I'd like to talk about DS9 a little. I watched the pilot, but never really took an interest. Posters here insisted it was good, so now I watch the syndicated episodes.

Some are good, some are average. I liked last night's episode. After the dominion war starts. The ship full of Academy cadets is trapped behind enemy lines. They have kids running the ship. Pretty good stuff. And it was cool they all died at the end except for one. All the dominion/cardassian war episodes are pretty good.

Although today's episode involves some feringi family plot. I'm not big on the feringi. Although quark and his brother are all right I guess.

Sisko is cool. But I wish he were a little more human. He has the baseball interest which gives the character more life. But he's still too serious imho. Of course Picard was too serious as well.

Enterprise is on.

I admit that them song has grown on me. Very postive lyrics. I like them.

They better not kill off Hoshi . The hotties are an important part of Enterprise . I like the quantum leap guy too.

He deserves it for single-handedly ruining whole episodes.

What? I love those Ferengi guys! If you've just gotten to the start of the dominion wars you've got 3 more years worth to go. The Ferengi plot line gets better.

Yeah Enterprise is watchable......though I don't enjoy it as much as the earlier series.

Watch DS9 through to the end from where you are......it is IMO the best of the 3. TNG (and even Voyager) had its moments, but DS9 was so much more versatile. It has the 'fun' episodes, it has the character episodes, it has more action episodes, and the clincher for me is there are more shades of grey in DS9 than the other 2 series. The direction and versatility of narrative structure is better in DS9 as well IMO.

I have to tape Enterprise because it clashes with one of my mother's programs. I invariably fast forward the theme tune, can't stand it, although I am getting more into the program itself...

Yeah, I suppose I will probably go and watch the film too...I generally enjoy them. I wouldn't consider myself to be a 'trekkie'...I do enjoy watching it, but it is really harmless fun...

I noticed that 'Admiral Janeway' is in the film...I wonder what she is up to...

...I did see the trailer on Sunday though for Nemesis when I went to see the new Bond film too

I believe Star Trek was created solely so that Dungeons and Dragons players would have someone to ridicule.

@lonestar

Yeah, DS9 has to be my fav series. I watch enterprise, and although I STILL have to get used to the theme song (I'm a die hard classical sci-fi music fan) I like it. I was a quantum leap fan so it took me a while not to think the guy was going to disapear at the end of every episode. duh!

Still, it has some bugs, but all first seasons do. growing pains.

I would like to point out that ST came out BEFORE D&D, so you guys are "Johnnie-come-latelies" of the geek world.

Only Tolkienites precede us.

I like all of the TV Star Treks. I have been around to see all them the first time.

TOS and TNG were created with vastly different moulds. Kirk gleefully ignores the Prime Directive, imposes his view on everybody else, and happily beats up people. OTOH, TNG has a much more mature outlook.

Kirk is just a phaser tooting cowboy. Picard is more of a diplomat.

I agree Whiny Crusher needs to be crushed.
