Thread: Myth of the Star Trek Geek

I'll say "yes", but you misspelled "Trekkie".

I liked TNG, but Voyager was pretty decent near the beginning. My favorite movie's VI.

Count me in! My fav is TNG, but Voyager was really good too (damn that seven-of-nine was hot! )

I never have or will ever watch star trek - im like TechWins in that I have occasionally sat thru the last 5 minutes - but that was when i used to watch Blind Date religously...

I always found it funny that in 1997 the year i graduated highschool there was a big deal made about Star Trek's last episode, it was being pulled from the air and I thought okay it's been a good run for it even though i never watched but i got the feeling that it was getting stale - well guess what they replaced it with - Star Trek: Voyager??????????

What the hell is that - they replaced star trek with a star trek clone and since then i see there has been a whole slew of star trek clones added to the schedule... it's almost like ice cream - what star trek flavor is your favorite - more ramulens, more cyborgs - take your pic - i want more humanoids with a strong side of clingons...

I never got the whole deal...

When I saw the original series, i.e. when it first came out, it was fantastic, (you had to see the competition to truly appreciate how good it was), I still have fond memories, but they sure have dated now.

Voyager was on two different Swedish channels, one I could see, the other I couldn't, so I've seen I think 4 complete series - these were okay, but missing out big chunks tends to mess up the continuity. I don't know where Kes went for example, or where 7 of 9 came from. Had a "politically correct" feel about it.

I've seen about 10 episodes of TNG and thought they were very good. Never seen DS9 or Enterprise.

Not seen all the films, but 1 was pretentious, 2 was pretty good, 5 was dubious, 6 was the best.

>>Had a "politically correct" feel about it.

As opposed to a girdled William Shatner suducing every alien he thought was female.........

And the guy you did not recognise in the 'away team' getting killed.........

'A-hore-ra' (sp?) in a micro mini skirt.........

'Its life Jim but not as we know it'

I liked the Voyager (I think) episode where they went back into an old episode, "The trouble with Tribbles'.

They had both the old style Kilingon (i'm just a bit hairier than you, don't you like my side-burns) and Warf (the new I have makeup all over my head style)

>>> seducing every alien he thought was female.........

Yes, now that you mention it, it was similar to this board.

Uhura.

That was Deep Space Nine.

Overall, TNG was my favorite. I was in 7th grade when the series
ended, so sad. But as far as finales go, Voyager's Series Finale
was the best, followed closely by Deep Space Nine's.

And movies, I can't remember any of the movies before Generations...
So I'll rank the ones I like (I was never really a fan of the old crew
anyway): Nemesis, First Contact, Generations, Insurrection.

I watch every now and then, but am not particularly a fanatic like some people I know.
