Picard and Sisko kick arse.

It was good, but TNG/DS9 IMO are the best series. TOS was a hunk of shit, and I never liked Kirk.

just began season5
ppl crap on this show and i dont get it.

Every show:

Oh look- something we don't know about!

OMG IT'S GOING TO KILL US!

Welp, there's no way out.

Wait- if we realign the antimatter transmuters to the secondary power converters, the subspace flux it creates could be routed through the main deflector dish and save the day.

That's risky, but it might just work...

YAY! IT WORKED!

I liked Voyager to and also didn't mind Enterprise. So you're not alone.:)
But I'm kind of weird because I didn't mind SGU either...

Yeah, pretty much. The crew gets in danger from an overwhelmingly powerful enemy, yet they somehow come up with some technobabble to save the day in the last ten minutes of the episode.

If they are that friggin smart, how come none of their plans to get themselves home faster worked? Grr... it was like watching Star Trek meets Gilligan's Island.

If only you'd mentioned Tachyon Field.

I missed the polarity too. You always have to reverse the polarity for some reason.

However, if I reverse the polarity of any of my electronics, they tend to blow up.

Yeah yeah yeah.. but.. DS9 sucks. Sisko can't act his way out of a wet paper bag. TNG is where it's at with voyager right behind.

The crew watched a lot of Star Blazers. Reversing the polarity just works.

Sisco was the most human among them. He didn't have all the answers or act like a god among men to everyone around them. He was also the only one with a family.

Well that's good because Sisko was a captain on the show and not an actor. Maybe you should revisit the show with this newfound knowledge.

Avery Brooks is one weird dude though. IIRC William Shatner compared his thought process to jazz.

I didn't care for DS9. Never really watched it when it was on, though I loved TNG as a kid. I remember reading somewhere that they took Babylon 5 and stuck it in the Trek universe.

I liked Voyager. I think a lot of the show's problems were casting related. TNG had a lot of decent actors like Patrick Stewart and Levar Burton. A lot of the people they picked for later series were too wooden and difficult to relate to.

I actually liked DS9 the best of all of them, but I agree Avery is a different kind of dude.

Star Trek became too lucrative, so big names wanted too much money for their roles. You ended up with a lot of 2nd rate actors in Voyager that didn't know what to do with their characters. However, I'm going to blame the writing more than the acting. Michael Okuda should never be allowed anywhere near a Star Trek property. He butted heads with Gene Roddenberry early in the TNG series, and when Gene died, there was nobody to tell Okuda "No" anymore. That's why you have an oversaturation of fighting and technobabble in the later shows/series, and a main reason why the TNG movies were so bad. Gene always insisted that the technology never become a star of the show, and after his death it became just that.

I actually liked DS9 the best of all of them, but I agree Avery is a different kind of dude.

LOL- go to Google and type in Avery Brooks. The Autocomplete tells the story:

The stories were repetitive and never had consequences. It became the Janeway and 7 of 9 show... 2 insanely boring characters with awful actors. Absolute trash. There is a reason Ron Moore left within his first month.

Voyager was okay but I started to have trouble when they totaled a shuttle every episode yet carped on and on about being out of power or resources. That and the increasing use of a big red reset button in episodes.

Pish posh. In Voyager it was all about triaxallating (sp?) frequencies :)

The only vaguely interesting Voyager episode I remember was the one that involved the half-Klingon engineer (Torres! That was her name!) getting some bug latch on to her, then there was a moral dilemma over using a holographic representation of a medical expert who was some kind of alien-Dr-Mengele-equivalent.

Voyager started off on an interesting premise, carrying on from TNG's "Pre-emptive Strike" episode and the Cardassian-Bajor (sp?) conflict, but as soon as the ship's internal conflict between the two crews was resolved, business as usual.
