Voyager is superior, it just is..

Bargain. I found a lone Season One set in a charity shop that started me off. That then meant I didn't really want to get the full set so had to watch out for two seasons for forty dollar sales until I had the lot. Might have spent too much, lol. Will play them until I can quote each scene verbatim..
 
Totally agree Voyager is No1 for me ! ! ! Yes I have seen all of the others before and after. It has the best layout and looking interface of any of the ships, best techno explanation of situations from shields, weapons, warp, engines VERY consistent across ALL episodes of what dose what and effects what and where and why ! ! ! ! ! Simply the best ! ! ! ! !
 
*cough* Babylon 5 *cough*

Whereas my thought was that Voyager was a "side story" with no impact on events in and around the Federation.

Not that I don't like Voyager, I just didn't feel it moved Trek forward as a whole. It was the story of one ship.

In the same way Voyager was it's own thing, that's how I'm expecting Discovery to be except much moreso. They haven't outright said it, but from everything we've seen so far (new-look Klingons, for example) Discovery looks to be a reboot, based on the Trek we know but not really a part of it.
Don't get me going about Babylon 5 .....I love it almost as much as Voyager ! ! ! ! !
 
Almost is okay, lol. Frankly I can't remember Babylon5 but if it had the same vibe as Voyager then that is a good thing.

STRONGLLY CAN RECOMEND IT FOR THE FIRST FEW SEASONS UP TO THEM CHANGING THE COMMANDER (THE FIRST COMANDER WAS AMAZING!!!)
INTERESTINGLY IT WAS THE BABYLON 5 SPECIAL EFFECTS TEAM THAT WAS RECRUTED TO MAKE THE NEW EFFECTS FOR VOYAGER WHICH HAD NOT BEEN DONE ON STAR TREK BEFORE.........LIKE THE SCENES IN THE VEW FINDER OF OTHER SHIPS AND SHIP BATTLES IN SPACE ETC.......

Thank you SaturnVuk. I'll have a good look at the Babylon 5 one soon. The Voyager stuff is pretty cool. They did an amazing job that absolutely stands the test of time. People were talking about Emmys yesterday .. surely the team got them for these special effects.

Your very welcome Captain Refuge.........
I have no doubt you will LOVE Babylon 5, the music as in Voyager is really excellent, its abit more synthy in Babylon 5 but still really excellent. The character developments are first class and lead to moments like in Voyager that are quite simply spellbinding and totally emotionally captivating, the performances are really out of this world, it has a slightly heavier and deeper feel than Voyager but is well worth your time and investment ! ! ! ! ! ! Robert Michael O'Hare, Jr performance is incredible!!! Mira Furlans performance of Dellane is spellbinging......very comparable in my opinion to the warmth and depth that Kes brings to Voyager. Andrew "Andreas" Katsulas performance of GKar is one of the greatest screen and most moving and engaging screen performances I have ever seen........but there are so many more notable performances in Babylon I would be here all day......
if you fancy just small look.......to maybe wet your appetite....

Actually looks a bit of fun.

So I wonder which came first? Babylon 5 or Deep Space 9? I mean on the drawing table.. Wonder if there are fans of both or if you have to like one not the other, lol.
 
Well, B5 has it's problems. Like how it makes things Black-And-White for most of the main cast except Londo and G'Kar.

LOL That brings the Babylon 5 thing full circle, the only reason it started was because some one was making that point of DS9 been first and some one posted a comment......"Cough Babylon 5 Cough ! ! !"
I think but could be wrong that Babylon 5 was first for that style both in development and on air (I will stand corrected if I'm wrong ! ! !)
I just wanted to say what a cool site this is ! ! !
Obviously I'm a newbie ! ! !
I apologise to the thread for taking it of tack for a while to the Babylon 5 discussion ! ! ! This was not my intention at all (but I do think its really cool that someone has not come down on me like a ton of bricks for holding this open and free and loose conversation ! ! !) VERY REFRESHING ! ! !
I'm looking forward to been able to edit my posts, I was wondering if its possible to message individual members after the first 2 weeks..........
I'm still getting used to this site but so far I'm very impressed with the balance between post freedom and protection from the "crazy" trolls ! ! !
I'm a member of head-hifi which I also love, however they are much stricter before you are even just allowed to post, I understand why and what they do but it can come across a little over bearing sometimes, when they take 24-48 hrs to check if your post is worthy of been posted on the site !!! LOL
 
B-5 is underrated, in my opinion, and JMS did a fantastic job.

100% Agree ! ! ! I would also say (keeping on the theme of the thread!) Voyager is also soooo underrated, I'm on a binge watching of all seasons at the moment (halfway through season 3) so very much more impressed with Janeways performance, in hindsight its much much stronger and consistent than I first remembered ! ! !
As is the actually technical basis for "problems" that the ship encounters, I have to say only now with my in depth science knowledge was I able to truly "understand" exactly what they were talking about in depth and did it make sense......very impressive ! ! ! ! ! !
 
What is a head-hifi?
Oh its brilliant ! ! ! Well imagine The Trek BBS but just about headphones ! ! !
Much the same lay out as on here, discussion threads on every subject you can imagine about headphones, you can create your own user page and post and view reviews for headphones.....
I'm SaturnVuk in there too if you ever take a look, you could give me a shout.
I still don't know if I can private message anyone on here, ive looked but not found anything yet.....
Maybe that's because I'm only afew days in and I have to wait for 2 weeks or something...im not sure.....

It's possible, I think there were certain things I was unable to do when I first joined.
