    The Captains

    I just watched this documentary that Shatner made for the first time this evening and I absolutely loved it. I especially enjoy his interview with Patrick Stewart. There are definitely moments when it looks like both of them are going to start crying. Also, did it seem like Avery Brooks may...

    Anyone on this board dislike Star Wars?

    I like Star Wars fine. It's entertaining, but I'm watching A New Hope right now and I'm fucking bored. When I was a kid I liked it because of all the "cool" space battles and light saber fights, but now I find all the characters to be bland and lacking real depth. Episodes I, II and III are...

    I really like The Motion Picture now

    As I've stated in previous threads, I really disliked this film when I was younger. But over time I've developed an appreciation for it. I'm watching it now and I find myself enjoying it even more than the last time. I love how slow paced some moments are in this movie. Especially the shots...

    Does anyone still play Star Trek CCG 1st Edition?

    I still love this game. Does anyone else still play? I sold my cards a long time ago because I was an idiot, but a few years ago I was able to buy a lot of boxes online and I've beefed my card collection up. I'm currently working on a Dominion battle deck that has only one function: blow your...

    First Contact appreciation thread

    I'm sure there have been plenty of these in the past, but fuck it. I love this movie and I'm about to watch it after I finish this TOS episode. I saw this movie in theaters, and I don't think I've ever been so captivated seeing a Trek movie before. I bought a vhs copy the day it come out and...

    Dominion War series

    I have yet to read these books, but I recently purchased parts three and four. Is it necessary to read the first two books before I begin these? Also, what are your opinions on this four-part series?

    Does anyone make an effort to watch Star Trek every day?

    For the past four or five years I think I have watched something Trek just about every single day. I particularly enjoy watching an episode or two before I go to bed. And if I have time in the morning before I go to work or school, I usually try to start my day off with an episode while eating...

    Paintings by Brandon Bird

    I really love this artwork. Both are inspired by DS9 of course. He has prints for sale on his website, so I just thought I should share with the rest of you Niners.

    Porthos appreciation thread

    I always thought it was weird for man to go to space without his best friend. Porthos was one of the few things about ENT that I love. Not to mention he was really cute.

    Top 5 favorite DS9 episodes

    I know that this might be hard, but I'm interested in seeing what your favorites are. I'll accept two-part episodes as being one. For me, it goes: 1. Improbable Cause/The Die is Cast - I think that this is really when DS9 achieved greatness. We saw the first joint mission between the...

    Is anyone a member of Starfleet?

    I've been doing research on finding an "official Star Trek fan club" and I found this one called Starfleet. It's apparently been running since the 80's and they have a bi-monthly newsletter called the "Communique". I'd like to know if this is something worth paying $15.99 a year for.

    Tea...Earl Grey...Hot

    Are there any Early Grey fans on the board? Several years ago I tried it based on the fact that it was Picard's favorite tea. It really is quite good. This morning I watched the episode "Ethics" while reading my Trek encyclopedia and drinking hot Earl Grey tea. Does that make me a nerd?

    Nemesis

    I'm watching Nemesis right now, to finally conclude my Trek movie marathon and I honestly think it's now my least favorite movie. Before, it was The Motion Picture but Nemesis is truly a piece of garbage. Does anyone on this board really love this movie? No judgments if you do, I'm just...

    Was Earth defenseless?

    I just got done watching Star Trek XI and was a little confused when it was up to Kirk, Sulu and that crazy dude with the bombs to destroy the device that was used to dig deep enough into the Earth's core. Would Earth not have some sort of defense system or land based operations that could...

    Caretaker

    I found a copy of this on vhs at a local thrift store for $1.99 and said to myself, why not? I like Voyager but I was never a huge fan. As far as Star Trek pilot episodes go, "Caretaker" is really not that bad. After watching this, I was wondering if Kirk, Picard or Sisko would have...

    Trek collections

    I was curious to see what people on this board collected. I'm currently trying to rebuild my comic book collection because a few years ago I was so broke that I was forced to part ways with a lot of my valuables. I also started recollecting books, action figures, games, vhs tapes, etc. If...

    "Datalore" question

    I don't understand why the crew of the Enterprise questions Data's loyalty and whether or not he can be trusted. Tasha Yar asked if he was a possible security risk, and then Riker sent Wesley to "check up on him". I do not get this at all.

    Deep Space Nine "Crossroads of Time"

    I accidentally posted this in the wrong place. I recently bought a Sega Genesis. I'm thinking about buying a copy of this game, but before I do so, I'd like to get some background info or possibly a review from fellow Trek lovers. Ultimately, I'd like to know if it's good or a complete...
