It Appears I Was Wrong About Star Trek

If any of you read a post I made some where on the forums back when I first joined, just before I vanished, I mentioned having never been a fan of "Star Trek" but starting to like it after I checked out The Original Series after finding some blu rays at work, but I digress.

Despite the fact that I enjoyed TOS (as well as TNG because Patrick Stewart is one of my favorite actors) I always wrote off 3 of the series in the trek universe (DS9, Voyager, and Enterprise). A few weeks ago I was at the local big lots and picked up the Star Trek Captain's Log Fan Collective because I noticed it had a few episodes from every series, as well as some cool suplementary material. So I picked the set up and just now had a chance to watch discs 3, 4 & 5 and I am prepared to willingly go on the record and say I was wrong about star trek. It turns out even those series that I thought were horrible when I would catch a few seconds here and there on TV when I was younger, are actually quality shows after all. I can now honestly say I am a fan of all 5 trek TV series.
 
Well the animation is rubbish but the ratio of good to bad stories is probably the same as any of the other shows IMO.
 
Sadly, it appears you are still wrong. Only TOS and DS9 are great. TNG is overrated, VOY is rubbish, ENT is rubbish till the final season when it got okay-to-pretty-good.

However, you are merely wrong in a very commonplace and entirely acceptable way now, so welcome to the funny farm. :bolian:

You forgot to mention the club dues. Payable to me.

;)
 
TOS is great, the TOS movies are mostly fun, TNG was fun the first couple of times through, and Linda Park is gorgeous. :cool:
 
Good for you. :bolian:
I find TOS old and ridiculous, DS9 is rubbish because sisko is rubbish, Voyager is equally as rubbish as DS9, while ENT is FANTASTIC. I love it. TNG is the best EVER.
 
TOS strong start, limped to the finish and was up and down when the movies came. TNG okay start, strong finish and one good movie in the middle. DS9 weak start, strong finish. The best continuing story arc.Voyager, an okay start and a slide down to the finale. It needed a strong story arc but used the magic reset except for the Year of Hell. Enterprise a weak start but found its place just as the network gave up, sort of the opposite of TOS.
 
While TOS is my favorite, all the series are very hit and miss. Gems and turds all mixed together!
 
Fascinating seeing everyone's opinions on this. I never really realized that fans of a series could actually have such varying opinions on a subject like this.

Stick around long enough and you'll wonder if any of us actually like Star Trek. :rofl:

Wouldn't surprise me one bit. I mean look at all the star wars "fans" that forced George Lucas into retirement.

Fans: we want a prequel. We want a prequel.

Gl: I give you jar jar.

Fans: screw you George Lucas.

My own personal opinion, used to be:

DS9 - The best, awesome
TOS - Awesome, but, perhaps merely from Nostalgia
TNG - worth watching
ENT - bland S1 and S2, starting getting good S3 and ended great in S4
VOY - Only got through S3, and never looked back

I just recently finished ENT all the way through, and I enjoyed it alot more than I did when it originally aired, and VOY, I am up to S5 Ep10, and I am enjoying it far more then I did in first run.

So, yea, they're all good and worth watching.
 
I don't know if it's just the fact that I like a story universe that has a lot of stuff in it, but I've liked every ST series I have watched. (I haven't seen ENT yet).
