Have you ever given up on a Trek series? If so, what was the last straw for you?

[Vger23]

I gave up on SFA after watching the premier on YouTube and seeing the clips for S1E2.

I tried...but it just isn't for me.

I quite like the first and third ones, which, to mind, are better than The Final Frontier, TMP, and all of the TNG movies except First Contact.

I go back and forth on which I like more: First Contact or the Star Trek (2009).

I actually have a soft spot for all the Star Trek movies. I love them all to varying degrees. Insurrection is more than a bit vapid, but I still find re-watch value in it. S31 I didn't like, but I don't count it either, because it wasn't a theatrical release.

I miss Trek at the movie theater......

Pic S3. I went into it thinking that, honestly, it would be like Insurrection or First Contact. About half way through, I realized I was watching Nemesis Part 2 and gave up. It just irked me so badly how squandered the TNG cast was basically due to bad writing and bad direction. I watched the relevant best scenes on youtube, but after two seasons of waiting for it to get better, I just couldn't find the willpower to wait for something that obviously was never going to happen.

I heard a Cranky Old Man eviscerating SFA the other day. Not unexpected given this person's background. I understand all of the reasons why this was not the show for this person.

BUT: Someone then said "The only Star Trek I knew growing up was the bald guy. Is that good?"

Cranky then replied: Yes. And went on to admit that it takes a couple of seasons to get going. But went on to talk about all of the great things about TNG.

Again, given my knowledge of this person's background, I cannot imagine that he was on board with TNG in 1987. For almost all of the same reasons. (I confess, Jean-Luc never curled up in the captain's chair with a book.)

Time heals all wounds, I guess.

Except for Into Darkness. I hate that thing.

Except for Into Darkness. I hate that thing.

I call that one 'Into Dumbness'.

All the Kelvin movies were ridiculous.

The first and the third ones were also great fun.

 

[fireproof78]

I will always put the Kelvin films above the TNG films. Kirk's arc makes those films incredible.

 

[Klingon Empire]

I call that one 'Into Dumbness'.

I went to see it in theaters and left with a migraine. I used to think the migraine came from the loudness of the film, but I left that movie wondering if I even liked it. Parts were cool, like the opening, but there was so few cool moments to trash moments that I ultimately felt burned by the experience.

 

[Farscape One]

I got to say, the opening of INTO DARKNESS was just plain stupid.

The Enterprise... coming out of the ocean? (Double Picard facepalm.)

Just one of the seemingly endless stupid or ridiculous things in that movie.

 

[Set Harth]

What is stupid about it?

 

[Farscape One]

It's a starship, not the seaQuest.

 

[Set Harth]

So what?
