We are midway through tng season six right now, so deep in the hole of tng love. Have NEVER rly seen ds9 so p psyched to get to that too.
Btw GNP crescendo just announced they are putting out a remastered & expanded cd of Ron Jones' completely awesome orchestra/synth hybrid score for BOBW in the next month or so. The rest of Jones' tng music got released in a giant box set from the FSM label a few years ago but GNP retained the rights to BOBW only. I'm rly glad it's coming out bc GNP's old BOBW cd has pretty crappy sound quality.

mr veg just emailed me a clip of Jones' score - the 'Engage' sequence from the cliffhanger. So glorious.
and yeah, the score sounded wonderful last night

the s1 ds9 episode where odo and troi's mom are stuck in an elevator and odo needs to get back to his bucket is pretty hilarious

We all need to get back to our buckets sooner or later

That's awesome. I love the TNG eps that he scored.

That Ron Jones TNG box set is on Spotify, btw.

I don't even like Star Trek but the other night I spent about an hour trying to persuade someone of the flawed value of its communist utopianism, and for that I blame this thread.

S1E1? I mean, there's some o_O eps in the first season, but they lay the foundation for the major story arc from the beginning so I think it's worth dealing with the occasional Move Along Home to get that grounding in the series overall.

a lot of slow stuff at the beginning of DS9, but some good stuff too. you've committed to watching a 7-year series, sit in for the long haul

We're back up to season 4 on our second rewatch of DS9. Still great.

I love that one. Many people don't because Sisko really does some scenery chewing in it.

TONIGHT... my wife and I run out of episodes of TNG :(
It has been so awesome. Psyched to start DS9 though as I skipped it totally when it was originally running.
We should do a TNG episodes ballot poll...

the end of tng is the best part!
i only watched trek when i was an adolescent, so it's been a long time. i suppose i notice the main cast when they pop up.

I could watch Avery Brooks chew scenery all day.

Oh and TNG ep ballot poll would be pretty awesome.
I think Darmok would top mine but idk.

The production team had hoped to get Kirstie Alley in a cameo role behind Kelsey Grammer in the USS Bozeman shots, reprising her role as Lt. Saavik from the movie Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, but her asking price was too high for such a small role.[1]
