Any Trek fans here? I'm currently working my way through the Voyager DVDs. The show is not as bad as I remember it being. Next Generation will always be my favorite, however.... Data is the shit. |

I used to watch TNG quite often, always liked that show. Nice color schemes and memorable characters. Other than the original (I've seen every episode but that's not really much of an achievement), and TNG, I've never watched more than a couple episodes of the other ones, just never grabbed me. I was playing Star Trek- 25th Anniversary on NES the other day, pretty ambitious little action/RPG adventure. |

I never really understood its super popularity. It's just.. geeky.. and not really in an intelligent way. It seems like the majority of alien civilizations were.. ancient greeks or something. |

Also the "aliens = humans with deformed forheads" theme is stupid. Okay, sometimes their ears too, but certainly not below the head. I guess the oldest original star treks were okay, but the newer ones with freakin politically correct black vulcans and some stupid white ugly looking freak with sharp teeth and a weird head are unwatchably stizupid. |

Deep Space Nine is a good pick. The characters on that show had very nice development and the wartime setting was sweet, especially in the last two seasons. I understand where you're coming from on the Ancient Greek thing, wMw, and there are quite a few of those type of episodes throughout each series. But once you get past the cheese, there's ususally terrific writing and character dynamics that keep you enthralled. And they throw in enough sci/fi to keep it from being a history lesson. I've seen every episode of TNG, DS9 and Voyager. I have seen maybe 5 of the original series... The purist says that TNG and it's successors have broken the rules set by TOS, and they are in violation of it's ideas and also it's canon by re-writing or overruling characters, events, and technology by monkeying with the timeline. But not me... I perfer to disregard TOS all together, as there are so many discrepancies between it and the later incarnationes. Not to mention poor quality writing and special effects. |

Watching TNG and Voyager has become a part of my lifestyle. It's gotta be the only show since x-files where I'll put aside 2 hours of my day no matter what to watch it. |

i like voyager and next gen too, although i admit they are not perfect, and the 'all aliens look like humans but with one tiny facial alteration' thing does bother me. but the best scif fi is and always will be farscape. |

farscape is so well produced, its amazing really. Red Dwarf is my all time favorite. |

red dwarf used to be my favourite too, but the special effects did not age at all well, and each episode seems to have something in it that contradicts a previous episode. one of the things that annoys me a little about the star treks is that they portray humans as being brave and courageous, always winning, like the whole universe revolves around them (us). but farscape isnt like that, it seems like every single character in farscape is faster, stronger or smarter than the token human, and i love that. also no one will ever be sexier than chiana, not even 7 of 9. ps i am a nerd. |

I think Kes is the most beautiful sci-fi character, ever. |

DS9 definately. It got much darker and deeper than any of the other series. Voyager was kind of cheesey, and the loopholes were much too big to justify. Although it probly had a better story than the other ones (although I never watch enterprise, so I can't really tell from that) |
