Well I watched an episode of DS9 as someone suggested. It's a soap opera! It wasn't a "to be continued" type of episode. Nothing really happened and the episode resolved no issues or plot lines whatsoever. The episode began with "last time on DS9" and "and now the continuation". What a boring series.

I hate soap operas.

I enjoy the ship designs from the STII-STV movies -- those I think were pretty cool. Much like the Volvo of Starships, boxy and angular.

The TNG ships looked too birdish and swan-like -- but they were cool too.

Joe,

Do you mean it WAS a to be continued episode? Which episode did you watch? I agree that some were rather boring. But overall, I loved the series. It's a lot like Babylon 5 in that you really have to watch the whole thing from start to finish to get the most out of it, unlike TNG and Voyager.

Scott-
The ship designs in Star Trek I and VI were the exact same as II-V.

Ken-
I don't remember the name of the episodes, but there was no "to be continued" tag at the end and no "part 2" or "part 120,565" tag at the front, but it sure wasn't just a one-parter. The one I saw took place after the chick who has the tire track marks on each side of her face gets killed and she comes back as a much cuter chick (but she still has the skid marks on her face, unfortunately). It dealt with prophets and crap like that. It literally had nothing to do with Star Trek at all. Worf seems to be a part of the series, and he still has major issues and still needs his ass kicked in the worst way possible. Why is his head bigger than any other Klingon? It's HUGE! Maybe he is the "Fred Flintstone" of the Klingons?

I don't have much of a use for the series, but still, I would like to see that Tribble episode and also take out the actress who plays the chick with the skid marks on her face.

Naw! Jerri Ryan, the actress who plays "Seven of Nine" on Voyager, is MUCH more bodacious!

She's the only good reason to watch Voyager!
In fact, it is reported that this is the reason that she was added to the cast!

Yeah, I think Voyager's ratings were starting to suck, so they need to do something to attract mroe attention. They got it

Joe - I think that was the first episode of the last season. That was the best season. I definitely liked Jadzia Dax (the first chick with tire track marks) better than Ezri (the second one).

Jerri Ryan can mind-meld with me anytime. Oh wait, that's a Vulcan thing. Well, speaking of Vulcans, Enterprise and bodacious babes (sorry ladies) the eye candy on Enterprise is looking good too. It looks like she (the Vulcan chick) might have borrowed Seven of Nine's little, uh, "suit" or at least one like it (another time line glitch?) Didn't notice if she had the same stilleto heels that Jerry wore. Guess I'll have to watch a little closer tonight.

Ken - you've got it right with Jadzia Dax... she was hot!! She's the bartender on "Becker" now - minus the tire track marks. I remember one episode where some guy asked her, "How far down do your marks go?" She answered, "All the way". I always wanted to see - but never got the chance.

I guess we'll all have to "assimilate" with 7 of 9 from now on.

Jeri Ryan is nice, but her face is a little too "California surfer chick" for me. She looks like a guy I knew freshman year in high school. Same puffy eyes. What the hell was she doing wearing high heels? Surely they would not be "efficient".

I think Voyager would have been a lot better if they had a captain that didn't sound like she smoked 12 packs a day. Janeway should have been killed in the first episode (along with Neelix) and Chakotay should have taken over the ship. The actress who played Kes was super hot without the character make-up, but the Kes character was lame. I think she left on her own. She sure looked good in the last couple of episodes she was in when they let her show her own hair. The Doctor was the best and most developed character.

"Janeway should have been killed in the first episode "

Actually Genvieve Bujold WAS killed off in the first two weeks of shooting.

Now that you mentioned it, I agree with the surfer chick image of 7. Sure, she's hot, but I don't think that character ever belonged on that show.

So who's watching the TNG marathon? It's fun watching this show now. I haven't seen it in years. There sure is a lot to nit-pick!

So who saw this week's Enterprise? (OMG, we're actually talking about Enterprise on the Enterprise thread ) I thought it was much better than last week's.

OK, time to nit-pick TNG.

First the episode with the causality loop. There is no air in space! How could decompressing the frickin shuttle bay move the frickin ship?????

Now for the episode that followed that one. (Sorry, didn't catch the titles on either.) First off, why were the Ferengi allowed to roam the ship freely? And wasn't the cargo bay supposed to be off limits? And what the heck is up with the frickin dress Picard was wearing? I hate that uniform! (Yes, I know it's the dress uniform. But did it have to take them 7 years to figure out it looked like a dress and shorten it?)

BTW, is it just me, or did the chick in that episode have tire tracks?

Ummmm yeah!

I know that the original actress who played Janeway was replaced with Mulgrew, but for some reason Mulgrew just wasn't quite right either. Never did I care whether she lived or died, but the other crew members were cool.

Seven of Nine was a good character, and the episodes did get a bit more interesting, though I really got tired of the "resistance is futile" catch phrase after about the billionth time. Not a big borg fan here. The should be called "bore" because it is boring when they are brought into the plot.

The second episode of Enterprise was good. It looks like a good series to me. It's not pansie-assed like TNG, dungeons dragons and prophets like DS9, nor politically correct like Voyager. It instead is just a well made show.

First:

I've not seen the new ENTERPRISE yet.
But I will.

I didn't see TNG or Voyager or DS9 first-run either. But, I have now, so I can compete with all of you!

I thoroughly dislike DS9. Dreary, and loaded with kid episodes, and Ferengi. I watched the series every night from beginning to end.

I will always feel that the original series was the best of all. Except for Kirk's overacting, the charactors were well-developed and first-rate! I watched every show first-run on NBC, and was thrilled when I saw my first episode in color, "Miri." It was on a Motorola 23" screen! What a pile of junk TV! It ate horizontal output tubes for breakfast! Always had a spare in the house!

TNG was OK. It was alot like the original series to me, except for the "Data" charactor. Silly how they depend on a machine...

Voyager was more like the original after sitting through TNG all those years. I got tired of Janeway, and got turned-on by Seven Of Nine. Wooof!

DS9 plods along, like a '58 Edsel. Even the final episode was dismal to me. I was glad when it was all over.

I work when Enterprise is on. I look forward to seeing it.

And NO, I dont do much recording anymore.

I knew that there was something that I liked about you guys. A Bunch Of Trekkies!!!
