The fourth season of the new tv show "Enterprise" has started... Whoever watched the old Star Trek original series or the other Enterprise series knows how nice it can be!!! Does any of you watch this tv show??? what do you think of it??? I am crazy about it and advise you all to watch it!!! (we need to boost ratings if the series is to continue)... Anyway it is really good science fiction... If anyone is interested (I don't get paid by Paramount:D)

Next Generation was cool. I liked the characters and the shows were nice to watch. You know, every episode some new anomaly to study, some new part of the galaxy to explore, 5 dominant races getting in and out of conflict every other episode or so. Wow! There are the Borg again! Waaaaasssuuuuuupppppp!!! There even was some character development, can you believe it? Yup, I enjoyed watching that show from beginning till ending and speaking of ending, I really liked the temporal paradox in the last two episodes with Q, another cool conjuration from Rodenberry's mind.

And then... Deep Space Lame. Soap opera's in space. Even the Dominion wasn't as cool IMO. The large spaceship battles were OK. But Sisko before he turned bad-ass was just not so appealing. I never really got into that show, that weird liquid security officer who was as stiff as ... well .... a stiff. Some episodes were cool, like the one with the oracle(?) and the constant asking of What is this? Reminded me of Barry from Resident Evil.

After that, Voyager! Further into the future, always good since that's why we're watching isn't it? *ZANG* Bloody hell! We're rocketeerd into a completely unknown part of the galaxy! Help! From that point on, the show becomes too convenient. Every alien race has a spaceship that's just a teeny bit stronger than voyager and every one has a universal translater. Well, I missed being in Federation airpsace, I missed the Klingon and the Ferenhi and the Cardassians. Oh wait, there are Cardassians here too! Great! Voyager did show off some keen CGI and battles and the Borg are just plain cool. Unimatrix, 38.6 of 92 divided by 7^44 (aka Annika Hansen) and some nice storytelling did make up for all the convenience in the end, still, not my fav show.

Now Enterprise, biggest dissappointment: they went BACK into time! Who cares! If I wanna know what it's like in this time, I go out into the city! I wanna see stuff in the future! *Goa* Anways, I don't like the crew, except for Jolene Blalock & Linda Park ( :eek: ) :D [img]tongue.gif[/img] I might watch the show entirely when they start with season 6, so I can follow up and watch it straight through til the end.

All movies from Star Trek rule!

My $32,95

TNG: Rules. Nothing more to say.
DS9: My favorite, I really loved it.
VOY: Great show, but still not as good as the two above.
ENT: Subpar, by my standards. Especially when they change history.
Oh, and Annika Hansen is Seven of Nine, Tertiary Adjunct of Unimatrix 001. [img]smile.gif[/img]
And about the translator, as long as one end is equipped with one, they can talk. Yeah, I'm quite a trekkie. :D

I really became one when Star Trek Birth of the Federation came out for the PC! Awesome, except too bad for the damn memory leak :(

Star Trek can't even hold a candle to the greatness that was Babylon-5 and Farscape - at least these shows dared to show some risk and initiative throughout their respective runs, something you can't really say for the bulk of the Star Trek material out there - especially Voyager was terrible in that respect (DS9's Dominion War was quite good, though).
That said, Enterprise is okay, mostly thanks the 3rd and currently running 4th season. A lot better than Voyager, anyway - and I can't even stand to watch most of the TNG-episodes nowadays. Then again, I'm not much of a Trekkie...

Ah, I knew I said something similar before. Note that my opinion of Enterprise has become slightly more positive lately. ;)

Enterprise is very good. I missed it on Friday 'cos I went to a Hockey game. I liked Next Gen. DS9 was pretty good, but I found Voyager a big let down. They had a great opertunity for new races and it was just the same old sh!t. The capt'n sucked too. Jeri Ryan kept me watching though. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Enterprise has gotten a LOT better this past year-- except for the Nazi aliens.. THAT made me roll my eyes. Doesn't every trek series put aliens into Nazi uniforms? Voyager had the Hunters in them, TNG had them, and DS9? Dunno.

The only trek sets on DVD I Have are both DS9. You can tell which I like best. [img]smile.gif[/img] I have seasons 2 and 7. Season 7 was awesome, and had some of the largest space battles in trek history.

Damn DVD sets are like $109 a PIECE, so we may have the entire set by 2020. ;)

I think Enterprise really picked up. The first season was a bit slow, the second had some really great episodes in it and the one with the attack on Earth and (finally!) some weapon upgrades for the Enterprise really moved things along. I would recommend it, although unfortunately it never seems to be on in the UK :(

TNG - just pure excellence - Star Trek as close to the original vision as you can get imo. And Patrick Stewart really is outstanding, especially in the latter half.

DS9 - Good, really picks up from Season 4 with Way of the Warrior and the introduction of Worf.

Voyager - Well, I enjoyed it. Got better towards the end (dont' they all ;) ), the Borg were excellent, the crew got progressively less annoying. The last episode in particular was one of the best Star Trek double eps full stop.

I started watching DS9 from Episode 1, then it couldn't keep my interest, ok it's a space station, so they don't really go anywhere or do anything cool... wasn't enough trek-like to hold my attention, then Worf came on, and my interest piqued enough for me to try it again, and I discovered a really good show (I've got friends who say worf was the worst thing that happened to the show, but I disagree, I think killing Jedzia Dax was the worst, but at least it was ballsie)

I loved TNG, and TOS, (mostly TNG after season one when it stopped trying to be TOS)

I hated Janeway too much to make voyager watchable (I sat through a couple episodes with friends, but would much rather have been watching Buffy)

Enterprise strikes me as an interesting show, but they hit the rewind button too much, when they realise that something in the story might cause real character growth, kill off a member of the crew, or just be daring, they back off and use any available deus ex machina to set things back season 3 was one of the worst perpetrators of this of any show I've seen, and is likely the reason they lost their timeslot on wednesdays (and had to drop their price to have UPN continue to run the show)

Sadly I think what may have been a great series will be destroyed by the terrible writing of the first few seasons (which will have turned off enough people that it won't be back for 5, or 6)

Did someone here utter Earth:SPinal Verdict?!? *UUURGHH*

The big thing why enterprise is so much MORE entertaining than the previous sseries from ST is that Enterprise is the second to implement a BIG STORY throughout ALL their shows. Season three proves this point. DS9 started this with the dominion war, which was quite interesting. There was no connection between different episodes in Voyager, NG or OS, that made it quite like a soap opera, especially voyager, which made me vomit. The crew's personal trouble is not interesting, I'll go watch the OC for that. [img]graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

I prefer the new generation. I quite like Captain Picard. I think he is the best captain in Star Trek series. :D

btw, what's the name of the movie where captain picard becomes one of the borg?

He becomes Locutus in a double episode, The Best Of Both Worlds. The movie he remembers becoming Borg is called First Contact. Just about the best Star Trek movie ever.

Wrath of Khan is the best, Generations is second on my list, and First Contact wasn't bad, unlike many of the other trek movies (notably insurrection, and nemesis).

I agree that Wrath of Khan was awesome. But 'Undiscoved country' and 'First Contact' were also excellent movies. Nemesis was probably the worst Star Trek movie to date.

Captain Picard is a british-speaking frenchman :D

Actually the actor is from the US of A, he merely speaks proper english, and of course being unused to it, most american's assume it's british english.

I loved the episode where Q sent a bunch of the crew to a planet and dressed up their enemies as napoleonic soldiers, and data was explaining to Picard that they were dressed in the uniforms of an obscure earth nation known as France. (forgetting of course the Jean Luc was french)

2nd or 3rd Next Gen episode ever that was wasn't it?

I rather enjoyed Nemesis actually, never understood why it did so badly. My favourite would be Wrath of Khan and Undiscovered Country. First Contact was one of the best and I thought Insurrection was a nice 'ethical' one in true Star Trek fashion. Just a shame about the cheese!

[img]graemlins/1ponder.gif[/img] He's English, born in Yorkshire to be precise...

One of the great British thespians on a par with the likes of Dame Judi Dench IMO.

Yep, why did you think he was from the USA? LoL

That 'joystick' scene was too corny for comforts. It ruined the entire movie. :(

lol, I was really into Space: Above and Beyond.

I'm still steaming that that gem got pulled after the first season on Sky :(

That 'joystick' scene was too corny for comforts. It ruined the entire movie. :( </font>[/QUOTE]The movie was a failed idea long before that scene.

As for Stewart; I had heard it from a friend who is usually pretty accurate about obscure movie/actor trivia.
