-   -   NEW Startrek series -- gonna suck IMO. (http://www.ironworksforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=68359)

Well, since ST:Voyager is coming to a close tonight, this Fall, a NEW Trek series will be coming on, called "Enterprise". (No 'Star trek' before the name either).

It's based in the 22nd century--yep, BEFORE the Kirk and Spock time.. YUK! I personally think this Idea sucks badly.. Who wants to watch a cardboard ship and 1960's looking bridges? http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif, they HAVE TO make it look worse, because it was before the old Trek series!!! heeheh I personally would have liked to see a new series based either on a "Time-Ship" and they correct time-line abuse, or at Starfleet Academy...

I dunno, I don't like 'trek' as MUCH as I did, it's cool, but not like 'wearing the ears' cool.. http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...miles/hihi.gif

The coolest scene I remember was the finale of Next Generation where Rikard comes back from the future and rips huge holes in enemy ships. It's been a long time since I saw that one, but I still have images that flash through my mind when thinking of Star Trek. Maybe I taped it. Hmmm . . .

My hopes lie dashed,
Crushed from high above,
My dreams lie shattered, my heart broken,
A casulty on a battlefield called love.

Jerome!

I do love the original. It broke so many barriers and was a very forward thinking show for it's day! And Kirk was a purrrrty cool Captain http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...miles/wink.gif. But I have to say I grew to really appreciate TNG! The characters were developed nicely and the story lines were good (yes, they had klunkers like any other show! but most were excellent!).

I prefer DS9, finally some action.
My favourite episodes are; the best of both worlds part2 (in wich captain Riker finishes the Borg) and sacrife of angels (in wich Sisko takes on a massive dominion fleet).

I liked the next gen best

To be honest for the first 2 series or so star trek is always crap, do you remember the starting few seasons of voyager somebody was captured every single episode.

Personally I never cared for the original, but liked TNG, DS9 and Voyager. Imho, the whole lot got a little better once the iron control of Roddenbury was removed. Don't get me wrong - he broke boundaries in the 60's, but seemed a bit out of touch by the late 80's.

And by the way, my favourite episode is DS9 "Trials And Tribble-ations"

What was really too bad about the original Star Trek was they didnt have the special effects that the later shows had. Shatner (still my favourite captain) was the king of overacting...

Kirk: Spock..... you .... look...... troubled. Whats......wrong???

Spock: I was just thinking, Captain. Im the biggest fastest strongest most intelligent person on this ship. Why am I not in command????? It is ILLOGICAL.

Kirk:But......Spock.......you.... dont understand....you ....... must .....feel......go...... (deep breath) with a gut feeling when a dangerous situation arises and know that your actions could endanger the lives of your crew.... (Kirk carries on for 15 minutes leaving Spock with a riased eyebrow)
