Any Star Trek fans?

Post by StringThing »

I just watched the episode of Voyager where Seven of Nine's assimilated lives start surfacing in her personality. I thought the actress did a great job switching from Klingon to Vulcan to Ferengi to little girl to who knows what else. Love this series so much. DS9 has to be my favorite though.

NOT a fan of the new Picard. I thought they butchered the rules of the universe. Not sure how Lower Decks is but I can't imagine it'll fill the void that TOS, TNG, DS9, and Voyager have left.

Love TOS

could never get into TNG after multiple tries

even worse with Voyager

after a friend recommended DS9 I binge watched it on Netflix, a superb tv show

haven't watched Enterprise or anything else

I’ve seen them all. Many times. IMO, best movies are 1st Chris Pine movie (excellent) and Wrath of Khan. Star Trek The Motion Picture could have reached greatness, but the director ruined a great script.

Took me a while to get into Star Trek at all. I started with TOS but wasn't a huge fan. I feel like Kirk was a really bad captain. He's incredibly impulsive and it needlessly puts others in danger multiple times. Spock should be captain.

TNG I got into during a time of my life when I really needed the positivity. I don't really mind the cheese factor either, which I know turns a lot of people off from Star Trek. I feel like TNG, DS9, and Voyager all have the same fantastic character development. It does take a while for their personalities to develop and mature though. Maybe less so with DS9 than Voyager and TNG.

Lots of little things I think you'd miss if you didn't watch all three as well. Like Picard and Worf showing up in DS9. Very rewarding seeing him find love with Jadzia Dax after what he went through in TNG. Most recently I noticed Geordi was commanding his own star ship in Voyager. That was pretty cool. And he no longer wears the visor. Plus in TNG there are some great homages to TOS, like the unification episodes with Spock.

I don't know. I've thoroughly enjoyed watching all of them.
