The Doctor Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 Oh, joy. Another prequel. And the first one did so well... Yo ho ho! Or does nobody actually say that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackjohn Posted July 25, 2006 Author Share Posted July 25, 2006 Oh, joy. Another prequel. And the first one did so well... MJ, are you referring to... what was that called... Enterprise? If so, I only watched maybe one of them at most. I'm willing to give this the benefit of the doubt, which is saying alot, since I pretty much gave up on Trek after Next Gen.

The Doctor Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 I gave up about halfway through "Voyager", and quit watching "Enterprise" after a couple episodes. Let's not even talk about "Nemesis." Now, I can't sit through any of the reruns or movies at all. They've run the franchise thoroughly into the ground for me. And to think I used to be one of the die-hard faithful. Yo ho ho!

Capt. Lazarus Gage Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 TNG was my favorite, I enjoyed voyager, didn't care for DS9, and never watched Enterprise. I still enjoy most of the movies except the last two, 2 and 6 will always be the best to me. But I will go see it if it is made. I still think they should have made a TNG movie with Q in it.

Sir Eric Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 Hrm... wonder if I'm the only person who enjoyed "Enterprise?" Sure... there were a few nagging inconsistancies and some holes in the logic... but I thought it was a well acted series, good writing and some fun plot ideas along the way. The real problem? Not enough pirates. NOAH: Wow... the whole world flooded in just less than a month, and us the only survivors! Hey... is that another... do you see another boat out there?

From what I've read, it sounds as if there are a half-dozen or so episodes that I'd like to see. When I re-activate my nextflix I'll probably put them in the... Q!

Same here. I was once one of those die-hards. But I still enjoy original Trek. I'm not going to let later snafus get me down on something I still enjoy. Nemesis... never saw it.

The Doctor Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 Good point, Patrick! That was the only movie to really evoke the feeling of the Original "Trek" Series. :) I love when they leave drydock!

Not enough pirates. Hi, Eric: No, you're not the only one. I have a friend, we'll call her C., who practically went into mourning when Enterprise was cancelled. She writes quite witty slash-fic about it. I'm sure she could work some pirates into it, too, if you asked her. Cheers, Hester ... who is a Star Trek dilettante, didn't get into it until TNG was in reruns (partly because she didn't have a TV for 7 years), quite enjoyed all the subsequent series, but could never consider the original to be anything but dated camp.

No, you're not the only one. I have a friend, we'll call her C., who practically went into mourning when Enterprise was cancelled. I liked it. yes it needed some development but I liked that too, watching it progress. Aditionally I have been a fan of Scott Bacula's for MANY years ...MANY MANY years. I was disappointed when it was canceled the characters were getting well developed and we were cut off ...oh well. I'll live ...or something like that.

Capt Grey Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 The original series encapsulates what TV was at the time. All you have to do is watch some of those old shows to see how "hip" ST was compared to them. (C'mon, Lost in Space as great science fiction? Talk about "campy". ) Thanks for the info about the animated series. I will definitely add it to my "must buy" list. I'm an "old fart", so I remember the original series and I suffered through TNG (I got fed up when every episode took place on the Holodeck; there is an entire universe out there and all they can do is imagine they're in the 1940's?! ) I loved DS9 because they closed the story so beautifully. I also gave up on Voyager half-way through the series but I enjoyed the cast of Enterprise (I like Scott Bakula too ) even though I didn't watch it much. Unfortunately Paramount is doing NOTHING for the 40th Anniversary this year, which really disappoints me. Unless you attend the big party that Creation Conventions is throwing, there really isn't much to celebrate the series. And that's really sad. But I could also blame Lucasfilm for doing nothing this year for the 25th Anniversary of Indiana Jones. Captain, we always knew you were a whoopsie. Rumors of my death are entirely premature.

I wonder if they've run it so far into the ground that they need to do that to pay off debts. Someday I'm hoping I'll be able to pick up the whole franchise for a song and dance.

The Doctor Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 I heard they're redoing all the special effects they can with jazzy, less-fishing-wire looking CGI effects. But... those styrofoam rocks were so cool!! And there's always The Shat's fine acting. I think he saw one of those billboards that say "Drink Canada Dry", and he did. Yo ho ho!

Capt Grey Posted September 9, 2006 Share Posted September 9, 2006 Yeah, I heard about SFX updates. I think Spike or some other cable channel is going to air those episodes. I'll be watching.
