*audible gasp throughout the auditorium*

I'm with Ani. I never really got on with TOS, not least because William Shitner's a really fucking awful actor. Much preferred TNG, as the plots were considerably more intelligent. I really like the new films, though.

Heretic!

I've just promoted him up the banlist

Ironclad wrote:Yeah, the new movies are great fun. Zachary Quino's Spock is briliant, and i'm totally in love with Zoe Saladana.. drool:

I thought they did a fine job with the new movies. I never expected them to be a lot like any of the other branches of the franchise, so I wasn't making those comparisons.

I haven't seen Simon Pegg do anything I didn't enjoy, so I suppose this next installment of the newest Star Trek iteration will be just fine.

That, and Lt. Uhura.

I agree with regards to TOS vs TNG.
Just couldn't get into the new films though.

You're banned too.

I've not been in a band for several years...

I actually thought DS9 was the best.

Get out.

Obviously, all rip-offs above are dross compared with the original Turkish version.

Awesome!!!!!

Check out 'Kirk's' winning smile at 1.25!

I've tried it on a couple of times but never got on with it. Always felt a bit more like a soap opera than serious sci-fi. Voyager looked good, and the premise was interesting, but Kate Mulgrew was bloody awful in it.

I thought DS9 was awful, but quite enjoyed Voyager (perhaps, admittedly, from a dearth of other options at the time).

Oh, I see some people thought I meant the original Star Trek only when said the TV series was crappy.

I meant the whole lot :dance :

Quite liked DS9 as well.
Imo there is no best series. Each had something the others didn't. Though I would rank DS9/TNG above Voyager and Voyager above TOS/Enterprise.

Hmm, I quite like her on average. What didn't you like about her performance?

It was like she was trying to be William Shitner.

The only thing I liked her in was Orange is the New Black.
