Any Star Trek fans? (Enterprise-Voyager)

[Forever Knight]

In February I began watching Trek in timeline order. Right now I am up to season 6 of TNG.

Anyone else a fan?.

[stevo4264]

I grew up watching the original series, but TNG is still my favourite

[Forever Knight]

T'Pol and Ensign Ro are so hot.

[The Apocalypse]

The Next Generation for sure, I just got into it on CBS Action, so I knew I'd order Season 1 Blu-ray

[pentatonic]

TNG all the way. I think they were able to capture the spirit of the original series in many ways with great characters, their relationships but without the cheese (though I love the original series) and bring it to new heights. Probably one of my top 5 series of all time.

[Monolithium]

Deep Space Nine is my Trek Drug of choice.

[The Apocalypse]

To be fair though, I do love Voyager's theme song

[Monolithium]

Voyager's theme was quite nice. And 7 of 9 looked hot in her uniform. And... nope, that's it.

[SleeperAgent]

TNG will always be the best. TOS probably would have if it hadn't been canceled so soon without any closure.

[Forever Knight]

Good to see Trek Fans running here.

Watch E. The Xindi war is ****ing insane.

I have only ever watched Enterprise in Marathon form 2005-06-ish. that is the way to watch them. I loved the defining of Red Alert by Malcolm Reed, the development of the torpedo and what have you. season four's In A Mirror Darkly was awesome. but the Xindi war was Incredible.

[Clark Kent]

It's the original for me, but I have a soft spot for Enterprise. It took a season to hit its stride, but that season-long arc against the Xindi(?) was entertaining.

[Cruel Angel]

Grew up with the re-runs of classic Trek in the 70s (and the animated series), then the movie series...

My fav of the franchises is Deep Space 9.

[Samus Aran]

Deep Space Nine was my favorite show. It had the most developed characters. Even the recurring characters were more rounded than most of the main characters on the other Trek shows. Actions had consequences. Sometimes things wouldn't get tied up in a neat bow at the end of the episode. Seemingly minor things in one episode would plant the seeds for something much larger later on. In no way is DS9 dark and bleak like Battlestar Galactica, but compared to the other Trek shows it might as well have been Oz.

Contrast that to Voyager, which was bland and repetitive. I don't know how much of it came from the showrunners and how much of it was studio interference, but the whole premise of a divided crew working together was basically neutered by the end of the pilot. Then they resorted to resolving a lot of situations with techobabble and reset buttons. Supposedly "Year of Hell" was intended to actually be a season-long arc with lots of death and consequences, but of course they did the trademark Voyager resolution with that. It was the only Trek show I gave up watching while it was still airing because it was that dull and insulting.

Enterprise started out as dull as Voyager, but at least the cast was more interesting. It didn't find its stride until seasons 3-4, but by then it was too late.

[krazeyeyez]

Enterprise ending was more a result of the network then anything else... basketball with either no enterprise or now enterprise already in progress enjoy the final 15 minutes. It also didn't even air in many states. The only problem this show had besides the network was the theme song, other then that it was solid.

1. DS9
2. TNG
3. OS
4. Enterprise

These are my favorites in order but all pretty close as i am a fan



12. Voyager

I loved the Xindi war. I'm hoping this DS9 Dominion War I've heard about is just as good.

It certainly is, but depending on what show you hoped to watch when you first started watching Enterprise:
If you started out with high hopes, of the first two seasons of the show having a sort of comfortable retro, optimistic TOS-fan vibe like JJ Abrams' Star Trek, with callbacks to "how the TOS first started", and Bakula/Archer being another Capra-esque midwest Kirk, the Xindi arc fits the perfect definition of "Jump the Shark":

Nice-guy Archer now has to be driven and rule-breaking! to complete his mission, easy-going Tucker now has to have a hostile chip on his shoulder, and T'Pol gets subjected to every humiliating, fan-pandering bit of Seven of Nine Syndrome ever conceived by post-Voyager Star Trek--If you ever wondered why Gates McFadden did all that feminist whining about what female characters go through on Trek, watch S3 and you will understand. (The Playboy-massage subplot with Tucker was bad enough, but how many episodes have we gotten so far with something causing T'Pol to lose her Vulcan control and turn into some snarling sexual-predator as if she was auditioning fo the next Species sequel? )...
And then--because CW thought the series needed an "arc" like Supernatural and Smallville, and because the retro-seasons didn't have enough "action" in them, the space Marines....Space Marines?? It was bad enough we had SW Ep. 2 with the Xindi Council, now we have to bring James Cameron into it?
Yes, I know, it's an "arc". Everything's an "arc" these days for the kiddies, and so that's why every episode has to "Previously..." recap every single blessed episode we've seen so far. (Which probably was for those watching it every week, but I'm watching it once a week, and it's driving my fast-forward finger nuts.)

Fortunately, I've only got two more episodes of the danged Xindi before Season 4, and the plots turn back into 3-4 episode mini-arcs. Better short than long.
From what I see of the plot descriptions, they start getting their sense of humor back as well.

"I'm thinking of calling it a Reed Alert."

That's the comfortable old-fan vibe I'm talking about--
When they get into the Khan and Orion-slavegirl plots in S4, it's helping sweep away all the bad memories of those annoying post-9/11-allegory X-ies. Just hope those freakin' Sand People don't come back.

I need to be able to vote for all of them, not one that I don't think is fantastic...

If I had to choose one it would be TNG
