I liked the classics, but also admit that DS9 and TNG did very well, too. Only "Voyager" and the latest, "Enterprise", were no-gos for me, both of which I gave up soon.

Star Trek: the original series, and TNG were the shows I thoroughly enjoyed. I thought DS9 was kind of intriguing in some ways. But Voyager and Enterprise were absolutely awful. I watched 1 1/2 seasons of Voyager. And I couldn't even make it past two episodes of Enterprise.

What's your favourite movies? for me it is, without doubt, ST-VI, and ST-VIII. I also like ST IX a lot, because of the relative calm in it and one of the most beautiful and moving scenes I have ever seen in ST (when Picard is being explained that learning does not need a lifetime and the Kolibri in front of him slows down in flight and finallly freezes in the air), and ST-IV, because it's queer humour.

STI, ST-VII are the most awful of them all.

Uh, and this: Spock rules!

Aaah, the original series, I haven't watched many of them but I watched Balance of Terror the other day and oh what a classic!

I'll have to agree with Skybird, TNG and DS9 were good, VOY was pretty rubbish (as much as my fiance likes it), and ENT only got good in its last season.

As for the movies, my favourite TOS movies have to be STII (KHAAAAAN!!), STIV (for sheer craziness) and STVI (probably my favourite of the TOS movies).

So...who are your favourite TOS characters then? Mines gotta me Montgomery "If we keep this speed we'll blow up any minute now!" Scott, followed up perhaps by Sulu or Chekov

i like the revenge of Khaan..same reasons as oberon i think lol....
any movie that contrives to include the statement
"I spit at you from perditions edge" with a straight face
gets my vote...

KHAAAAAAN!!!!

Characters? Spock. Worf. Jadzia (for optical reasons

And in the movies: Picard. In ST-VIII and later, Stewart was allowed far greater acting freedom to develope the character. Results sometimes were quite impressive, imo. In that he is very different to Shatner, who always was sticked to representing a type. Which was good a choice for the character of Kirk. but beyond Kirk, Shatner is a damn bad actor, different to Stewert. No wonder that they do not like each other. It is said that their cooperation in ST-VII was "difficult".

Now, which is your favourite pair of characters?

Spock - McCoy? Odo - Big Ear? Worf - Jadzia?

Yep been a casual treky fan all my life, I use to watch startrek and Battlestar galattica when a kid. The latest startrek series is rubbish, althoguh i watch them, and remeber one where they went back into time or another dimension where the nazi's were in control of america - america and the nazis were alllies. But the guy who acted as the captain just didn't do it for me. And they added a vulcan female was she related to spock? Or did they just throw her in to keep the fans happy
