    It makes me the sad. The characters (Crew) seemed like good actors, and initially had good roles, just the writing was absolutely terrible this time around. Alas, hopefully something better in a few years

    A Star Trek with words to the theme song. Of course it was gonna go wrong.

    Scott Bakula needs to just go and find Dean Stockwell to make a Quantum Leap movie, or something that ties up that last episode.

    NOOOO! I actually enjoy Enterprise.... Any other Star-Trek series(es) coming out? I have not watched the originals.

    I'd have to think it's because it has the most obscene time slot I've ever seen. All I know is it's on FOX at like...9:00 on Sundays, none of that Wednesday/Friday crap. They do seem like fairly good actors (the Captain guy seems a lot more 'realistic' than Picard or Kirk...or that female one). They might as well have aired it Monday mornings at 3AM.


    Anyway, I've only seen it like ...7 times. It's fairly good though. 4 seasons isn't too bad, anyway.

    The original star trek had words, just they weren't sung.

    Star Trek pretty much died with Voyager if you ask me. The writing has been absolutely dreadfull for a long time. With any luck, they'll take the next few years off and then pull out a new series (preferably without Berman or Braga) that doesn't suck.

    I'm hoping for something a bit more DS9 like, showing off federation internal affairs with spies and conspiracies and polotics and the like.

    At least we have Battlestar Galactica for now. Which, despite my initial predictions based on the miniseries, is actually pretty good.

    BS. Voyager was when it all started to go downhill. Even TNG didn't use technobable so profusely. Not to mention that it basically rehashed all the plotlines of TNG, and pussified the borg (which, in all honesty, began with First Contact). Hell, it even pussified Q.

    I think they "pussified" Q by making him wear facepaint or whatever in the first episode of TNG ...


    TNG was dumb. dumb dumb dumb. Everybody bar crew had the tackiest uniforms ever, for it's time. And if you haven't noticed, all the plotlines in all Star Treks are horrible anyway, so copy+paste into voyager isn't that bad. Oh, and no wesley = win.

    Unfortunately Neelix is a loser. And so was Kes, but she's gone. BTW is it just me or does Cpt. Janeway look and sound exactly like Dr. Polito from SS2?

    EDIT: I'd argue more coherently and longer but I have the urge to play SS2 now ...

    No she sounds nothing like Polito.

    Anyway, Enterprise was kinda cool with the whole none if this is suppost to happen thing, but the ship was realistic, it didnt fix itself in deep space to being 100% fixed, sure they can replicate bits but no residual marks on the hull....

    I only ever saw the very first episode of Enterprise. I just couldn't think of Scott Bakula in any role other than Dr. Beckett. :P

    The vulcan chick was pretty hot though.

    There was a 2 or 3 hour miniseries (not so good), which was successfull enough for them to make a series out of, and its acutally pretty good. Unfortunatly, I'm pretty sure its only on the Sci-Fi channel here in the states, so non-cable users are missing out (hint: Bittorrent!).

    But with TNG those crappy plotlines were new and exiting! Voyager was just TNG in the gamma quadrant with added technobable and bs. Not to mention that it was excessively boring.

    Don't forget Tuvok... and Kim... and Janeway come to think of it... oh and B'lana. The Doc was also extremely annoying at times.

    Why is anyone suprised that a Star TRek series wasn't very good? Have you seen the origional? Crappy plots, extremely non-subtle messages, instead of aliens they had latinos (klingons what?), and more deus ex machinas than you can shake a phaser at. Plus William Shatner. How could that series ever lead to something good?

    And I say this as someone who used to watch Star Trek religiously, I've been been to an ST convention (which was very sad).

    The only thing that will save it is if they tie the ending into Quantum Leap.

    Say, in the last 5 minutes Al shows up and says "Sam! We thought we'd never find you! You're here to keep the ship from crashing!" And then Scott Backula looks at the screen and says, "LOOK OUT, A PLANET!" And so the Enterprise is saved from crashing into a planet. Then he finally leaps (and into a woman!) where he finally says "Oh boy." ROLL CREDITS.

    I dunno. They don't wear quite such tight bodysuits in DS9.

    I watched a TNG the other day, where they rescue some alien guy who "ascends" (you know the type). You could see his genitals through the tight, <i>tight</i> clothing. Needless to say, I couldn't finish eating my meatballs.

    The trouble is with TNG is that it's more or less random encounters, usually inside Federation space. What I liked about Voyager was at least some sort of continuity from one episode to the next, and they were exploring uncharted territory all the time.

    This last series was quite good, I thought, except for the "surprise ending". It's as though they got the idea from an internet fan-fic.
