All Star Trek Discussion Thread ("Into Darkness" trailer released)

Trekkies, unite!

I just watched The Voyage Home (twice). Such a great movie.

Driver: Get out of the way, dumbass!
Kirk: Well.... Double-dumbass on you!

Spock: "Just one damn minute, Captain."

Not much.
Massive budget, space explosions, cheesy one liners, bad rehashing of previously established character in the Star Trek universe, hint of a third movie POSSIBLY WITH KLINGONS AND TRIBBLES OMFG LOL.

Just watched Voyager's series finale "endgame" and it sucked. I haven't seen it in years and I wish I could unsee it from last night :(

Yeah... such a cop-out ending to Voyager.

I'm a TNG girl!

But on note for the original, why does Old William Shatner look nothing like Young William Shatner? Does anyone watch #*@^ My Dad Says? He looks nothing like himself! haha

Only Star Trek I ever really liked as a whole was Deep Space Nine, and that's one of my favourite all time shows.  The other series, and movies, were just too inconsistent.

William Shatner is almost 80! You'd never guess from his appearance alone!

Just resumed watching DS9 after yet another hiatus and picked up at two back-to-back great episodes dealing with moral ambiguity.  Inquisition which introduces Sloan and Section 31, which is a pretty good episode, and In the Pale Moonlight, which is one of the 3 or 4 best episodes they ever did.

It's a trip to think that Garak was only supposed to be a one-off character.  By the end of it, he's probably my favorite character from the series.  

And something occurred to me last night.  It's a real shame Enterprise was so bad, as the Xindi were a fantastic idea for villains.  One planet with evolution to sentience occurring in 6 different animal kingdoms; each adopting roles and characteristics unique to their own race.  I'd really like to go back and re-watch that whole deal, but I don't think I could stomach all of the rest of it.

Jadzia or Ezri?  Either way, yes she was.

The first three series are fantastic.  Voyager and Enterprise I can live without.

Nice.


And any ST rocks. I know everyone here hates Enterprise, but the last 2 seasons of it were purley amazing.




However, I'm pretty sure Enterprise has the worst last episode of any show in history.

I enjoyed Enterprise, and I agree with you on the last episode.

Love Star Trek, much more than Star Wars. (which seems to be the two most common camps)

I recently tried to decide which episodes were worse, the ones focusing on Troi, or the ones focusing on Beverly. Troi had more about her, but Beverly had Sub Rosa, which makes up in terribility for at least a few Troi ones.

Was Sub Rosa the one about the ghost who lives in the candle or whatever?

I never really learned episode titles.



And yea. I like the Star Trek universe way more than the Star Wars one. So far I'm town between the Star Trek universe, or the Stargate Universe.

What I saw of the last episode was ridiculous, so I agree.

I had started to get really interested in the series during the third season, but the end of the season finale just made me disgusted with the show once and for all.

Wait, the end of the 3rd season pissed you off?



I'm confused, unless you mean the end of the 4th season, which as I stated is true.



But you can easily just act like that episode doesn't exist. The show pretty much ends the episode before hand, and works out just lovely and amazing.

Yes, when they ended up with the Nazis.  It all felt like a crap gimmick to the show at that point and I just didn't give a shit how they would clean it up.

You didn't see the result?

Sure it didn't have much of a point, but it was pretty cool none the less.

It was stupidity thrown right into when the show had been hitting a stride.  It emphasized how the powers that be just sucked.

No offense, but how can you see 1/9th or whatever of a story and deem it horrible and worthy of making an entire 4 season TV show not worth watching ever again?

I mean, do you have ANY idea how many horrible stories were in TOS, TNG, DS9 or Voyager?

Hell yeah I'm a big Star Trek rube. :hat I love the first 3 series with DS9 being one of my all-time favorite shows, that show had some great writing and the best cast of Trek. I got bored of Enterprise early but it did get better the last two seasons. Besides the Doctor Voyage only had a few good eps here and there.

Voyager suffered from having a really boring and lame cast. They had the doctor, who pretty much ran the show, and neelix was cool. But the rest were just ...........meh.

I had seen most of the first two seasons and lost interest in the series.  Mostly I just looked forward to episodes with Andorans at that point and so stopped watching.  I was getting back into the series by chance somewhere near the end of the third season, but with that end I just didn't care any more.

Yes, I do not like TOS, TNG, or Voyager as wholes because of how inconsistent they are, as I said before.  Too much really bad mixed in with not enough great.  DS9 is the only one I've ever really liked as a whole.  In my mind they only usually had a few bad episodes per season, and those episodes were rarely important in the grand scheme of the series.
