Star Trek: Classic or Dud?

bcz i watched his show twice, and was left cold?

morbs ;_;

twice is not enough

Right, sorry. I forgot who I was talking to for a second.

"I know where capt Picard lives" my favorite weird al song

everyone knows where he lives http://files.myopera.com/alexs/albums/364100/NCC-1701-D_3.jpg

saucer-shaped Brooklyn condo

i only saw Stewart once on a men's room line in a Broadway theatre (major DON'T SPEAK TO ME vibes), and wished i got the urinal next to his so i could say "Make it so, No 1.'

no dude that's when you say EARL GREY. HOT.

:)

"I've brought down bigger men than you, Picard!"

good stuff everyone

Never seen Picard, but I was in a small crowd with Frakes, Nichols, et al at 40th anniversary Trek convention. My brother's Klingon metal band played up in the Space Needle at that. I met a green Orion slave girl, got her #, and had coffee and donuts with her the next morning. Good times!

TNG is the perfect show to watch before bed

xp - Stovokor?

For the longest time, I've always heard (and probably still hear) Justine Frischmann singing something about Stovokor in "Connection."

Gowron is one of my favorite minor recurring characters in Star Trek. I just wish I could get my eyes to go like this whenever someone tells me some b.s. at work.

like this dude

unemployment = starting voyager, lol with me friends.

our roommate Pat was watching a later episode last night and i want to be able to watch it w him.
i need to finish DS9 too.
and then.. babylon 5.

hulu has some sort of best-of Trek playlists right now

Mr Veg & I got free tickets to see the screening of the remastered fancified TNG: THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS on April 25th

:D
:D
:D

We're going too. Of course we're going.

omg i want to go to that but i dunno if i can buy tickets at this pt in time :\

I kind of like Voyager! Janeway and Tuvok are badass.

yeah, the characters are pretty solid! It got a bit soap opera-ey but there are some solid bits

yeah this doesn't seem so bad at all

How bad is Enterprise?

the opening theme song kind of sets the tone for how bad enterprise gets. the mirror 2 parter was fun, fan-fictiony action though.

haha, i always forget that one even exists -- sorta like that sitcom lucille ball did in the '80s. i wonder how many new ST shows they thought they could get away with. crazy to think that if TNG had lasted just one more year there would've been three ST series on the air at the same time.

good sneaky opening, too

There is a pretty great two-parter in Enterprise, and a few other select episodes. Unfortunately, the good two-parter consists of the second- and third-to-last episodes

Philip otm about mirror universe being fun, though

Enterprise started out not as terrible as the theme song, but I lost interest after the first season. Mr Veg watched it all the way through, and ranted a lot about the rewriting of key ST canon but he mostly was okay with it.

Sometimes when I am feeling feisty and either really drunk or hungover and self-loathing (mostly the latter) I will sing a heavily inflected version of the Enterprise theme song at my cat to spite his existence

Watched First Contact recently and was struck by the absurdity of humanity progressing from savages to space travel to RUNNIN THIS SHIT in the course of 200 years when the Vulcans etc. had been doing it so much longer.

holy shit, the Enterprise theme song sounds like it was appropriated from a failed WB adult drama of that era.

it's been one of my great joys in life to sing that theme song to Mr Veg at random times throughout our marriage

I loooooooooove how cheesy and terrible it is. It makes me so happy.

200 years is a long time, technologically-speaking, and the vulcans don't really lend well to running shit. just ain't logical.

IT'S BEEN LOOOOONG ROAD
GETTIN FROM THERE TO HERE

CAUSE I'VE GOT FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAITH OF THE HEART

btw the theme song to Enterpise is written by Diane Warren, the same songwriter that brought us the theme song to Armageddon (as performed by Aerosmith)

it could only have been made better if she'd have teamed up with Desmond Child and sent into Cher JUST LIKE JESSE JAMES territory. but that would have been too much awesome for one theme song.

apparently she has written eighty billion songs, most with a similar sentiment or tone:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_songs_written_by_Diane_Warren

this is the worst fucking opening of any fucking star trek series, ever

btw she wrote that Cher song, assuming you knew that, but stating it for others in the audience who have no idea wtf it is

it's bad, but in a really awesome way. let's be clear.

The thing about Enterprise is that Scott Bakula is terrible in it.

Half of his delivery is as stilted as a middle school thespian giving sincere, over enunciated first line readings of the drama club's fall production of Our Town.
