Time To Come Out...

[Forbin]

LeVar is a handsome fella, it was a damn shame he had to work for 7 years with half is face covered.
Speaking of covering eyes, I thought it was just terrible that they stuck Marina with those black contacts. She has such beautiful eyes, yet she had to wear those damn things forever. Same goes for Majel, who had pretty blue eyes.

In spite of the artificial laugh, I liked Geordi, at least in the early seasons. I just felt he didn't get enough character development.
How do you feel about the character in Nemesis, where he has implants? I know his role isn't very big in that movie...
I wouldn't recommend jumping into any conclusions about Burton's acting skills until you've seen the original Roots. He owned every scene he appeared in.

Sure, but we are talking about Trek, and that's where I am "coming out," and there I stand by my opinion. Sometimes actors do well in some roles, and poorly in others, and they are praised for the good ones and criticized for the bad ones. Such judgments are subjective, of course.

 

[UnknownSample]

I'll say one thing for L Burton, he really did manage to reel off all the technospeak in a natural sounding way, as if it was real.

I think the reason I don't like DS9 is that I don't really like any of the characters. While there are select few characters from the other series I feel the same about, for the most part I like the majority.

Other than Garak and Quark, I feel the same way.

Deep Space 9 felt like it became too much war and politics and not much exploring.

That's why I liked it.

The politics in particular.

I liked all of the characters from DS9. And ENT, TOS and TNG.

Voyager however...

I've never wanted to punch a Star Trek character in the face more than Julian Bashir.

Deep Space 9 felt like it became too much war and politics and not much exploring.

I agree.

However, I did like DS9 because that was new and interesting at the time...and I always like when Trek pushes itself into new territory. That said, we've now been there and done that (and well, in my opinion, with DS9)...so I have no interest in seeing "war and politics" in the coming iterations of the franchise.

None.

Not even Tuvok ?

 

[DimesDan]

I never liked Kes.

 

[galad2003]

I don't like Trek Novels. I read a lot but I can't get into or enjoy Trek novels. Usually the writing is pretty bland and boring which is all I will say as I know some authors hang out in here.

Tuvok was awesome.

I find The Spock-Sarek-Amanda scenes in "Journey To Babel" ponderous.
Scotty acts like a shrill grandma when he gets all excited in TOS and it's kind of annoying.
All the feature films after Star Trek II: TWOK are disappointing.
"Tapestry" and "Relics" are overrated.
DS9 had some of the weakest acting in the entire franchise, which was exemplified by relying too much on the recurring supporting cast. And those cadets in "Valiant"....

Relics was super-overrated.

...were better than many other guest stars, at least for me. I at least believed them as being out of their element, probably because some of them were.

 

[UnknownSample]

At the start of Next Gen, the only actors trying very hard seemed to be the guest stars. The main cast were like mannequins.

 

[Takeru]

Every TOS character who's not Kirk, Spock and McCoy shouldn't have reappeared after the series ended. Scotty, Sulu, Uhura and Chekov weren't important characters, not part of the main cast and their only purpose was to react to events, give the actual main characters cues to say the important dialog and to fill seats to make the bridge look less empty.
All TOS movies would have worked fine without them with minor rewrites, everything important was either done by the three main characters or the newly introduced characters.

I HATE The Visitor from DS9, one of the worst Star Trek episodes I've ever seen.

I also don't like Relics, not primarily because it brings back Scotty but because a ton of fans get angry at the TNG characters for not kissing Scotty's butt enough.
If the engineer they pulled out of the transporter wasn't Scotty but a new character those same fans would not complain that Geordie is mean to him, they would think that the annnoying old guy should stay out of engineering and in his quarters and that the episode wastes too much time on him when a super interesting Dyson sphere plot is going on.

Wasn't that Roddenberry's call, his insistence that Starfleet in the future would always be calm, professional and unemotional.

Scotty, Sulu, Uhura and Chekov weren't important characters

While secondary characters, they were important. YMMV.

 

[UnknownSample]

Having the whole TOS cast reunite was really the only point to most of those original cast movies.

He said something like-- The cast is a character, the ship is a character. They don't really act as individuals but as a unit. Some utopia.

 

[stardream]

I would rather watch a 'time resets itself' episode than any episode that isn't real as in 'takes place in a dream' or a vision or whatever. That includes The Inner Light, Far Beyond the Stars, Remember, Barge of the Dead etc. That does not mean I think they are badly written or acted-I just do not like those kinds of stories.

I am also not interested in attending conventions. I hate crowds and dressing up. I went to a Harry Potter book release party dressed in my regular clothes with a nametag that said "Muggle'. I don't judge other people for going all out for things like that, its just not my particular thing.
