I must admit that I have been a Trekkie since Kirk & Spock first graced the the airwaves. I always found it a good laugh in Enterprise in the way that no one trusted the transporter and preferred the shuttle.

Cheers

OK, I guess everyone was waiting for me to say something.....

I thought Enterprise had promise, especially by series two, but unfortunately they cut it short. Some of the story lines were interesting and had great potential. Unfortunately we will never know how it would have evolved had it been allowed to run to 9 series like all the other "modern" ones. As for how I would rate them?

STNG first
STV close second, especially when 7of9 was added...
STO third
STE fourth, very close to STO though
DS9 last by quite a long way.

As for the movies? The first movie was very much a let down, just a re-hash of one of the original episodes. Some of them were pretty ordinary, some were quite good.

I still have to pick up the Enterprise from Series 2 onwards plus the movie box set. All of my sets are original, I figure if you truly like a movie or series and would like things like that to continue to be produced, you owe it to the industry to buy the real thing (although STNG was very overpriced at $200 odd per set..but I still bought them). I am not a fan of "bootlegs" for that reason.

I loved DS9 and would rate it equal first place with STNG. DS9 has the longest list of strong characters played by decent actors and a good script. I have a hard time choosing a favorite character - maybe the cardassian Garak.

Here you go Petra http://mario.lapam.mo.it/ds9/gifs/odo.jpg
His appearance would be limited only by your imagination. It's interesting to consider that Odo is still Odo regadless of his outside appearance.

I appreciate the link - but were are all the sleek, well toned, muscular athletic trek men? Maybe there are none?

I tried to like Enterprise, I really did. But that awful theme song.... and Scott Bakula??
Totally agree that BSG is awesome. Reminds me a lot of Space: Above and Beyond. Anyone else remember that show? Was made in Australia, and again, its time slot killed it.

First Vulcan to serve.

In addition the first Enterprise was launched in 2245, from San Francisco yards and its first Captain was Robert April followed by Christopher Pike.

No mention of dodgy bakula's captain or the only good actor in the series 'the dog'.

Whatever mate. Happy New Year.

Frankly I don't think the subject is important enough to argue over.

Hey great to see some passion about Star Trek, it's interesting to see the differences of opinions each fan has on there own perspective of the Star Trek universe...I think we can all agree Jolene Blalock is one fine looking vulcan .....I reckon Scott Bakula is great as Captain Archer plus all the regular cast and the opening theme song and accompanying vision is fantastic, it really pumps me up ....i'm off to watch disk 2 of season 2 on DVD you beauty
