I'm halfway into Season 6 of DS9. The first 3 seasons or so are generally very slow going but once Season 5 starts, hold onto your pants. Season 6 so far.... has been EXCELLENT.

When are they gonna make a new series? QQ.

Think Enterprise killed it.

Remains to be seen whether Star Trek: Online and the movies will let the franchise pull a Lazarus.

I love the STO. It is set in the future (40 years AFTER the movie I think) which is distant future to anything that has been made before which is good. It allow open end story from there.

I do love the new movie and cast.

I do like the new changes and twist they introduce. It allow new movies to be made without "redo" the older version.

Love TNG, favorite ST series by far. Couldn't stomach my way past the first two seasons of DS9, just *ugh*.

This. This and this. TNG was good, grew up watching it. DS9, was far better.

The first 4 seasons of DS9 (the first 2 were the worst by far) are pretty slow but I appreciated the depth of the storyline past season 3 as recurring characters keep coming back later on to the storyline (example, my last episode I saw was “the magnificent farengi” and it had no less than 5-6 old characters coming back. Not the best show of Season 6 but quite enjoyable nonetheless) I truly encourage people to give it another shot. Some episodes in season 5 and 6 are awesome.

The newest series Enterprise was never really given THAT much of a chance… and it was fantastic (heck, my woman got into it as well and she HATES the geek stuff though she enjoyed the movie). The last season that show was ACE.

I think it was 15 straight years of a Star Trek Franchise on the air. And the series (pl.) started going down hill after TNG left the air. TNG was great, DS:9 was good, Voyager was terrible, and Enterprise was only somewhat good.

Aside from the Vic episodes, the last 4 seasons of DS9 are probably the best Star Trek has ever done. I dig me some Dominion war.

I didn't really care for the emissary episodes. Actually, anything connected to the Prophets, from start to end of the series, was rather irritating to me. It was the Dominion war that made that show.

When Vic's was a place they would hang out, it was fine. When he became the focus of more than one episode, stopped being cool.

Do you rent them?

I would like to start going through TNG and DS9, as well, but I don't know the cheapest way to go about it. I have Netflix. I guess I should just queue up the series.

I borrowed all seven seasons from a friend, one at a time. Took me three months or so.

Yesterday afternoon she dropped off a box set of all the TNG movies, so I watch Generations last night.

Pretty sweet! :thumbsup:

I know that my local library has a lot of TV series on DVD, so if you don't want to have to wait for Netflix (which isn't really that long of a wait anyways), you can always check there for free rentals!] It always depends on how modern your local library is however.

I will again defend my position that DS9 sucked balls and Voyager was actually damn enjoyable.

I defend my position thusly; it's my opinion and taste is entirely subjective. :p

It's entirely true, though. You can love DS9 all you want, it doesn't change the fact that I think it sucks donkey ass.

Neither of us would be wrong, we'd just have different opinions.

I liked Voyager to start, then they basically made everything that made the show interesting to me (like actually needing to struggle to survive beyond just fighting bad guys) magically disappear.

I've said on multiple occasions that I hate DS9. I found it boring and the only character I found at all interesting was Dax. Of course, being a B5 fan, that probably paints my opinion seeing as most people either tend to like one or the other.

I'm a Niner, so my love for DS9 is well known. The characters actually developed over time in DS9 and their were real consequences for their actions because they couldn't just warp away if they messed up. Definitely have some of the best characters in the series as well. I'd go as far as to say Garak is THE best character in any of the series.

And I will agree that as long as they are done at least half decently I will so geek out over time travel and temporal anomaly stories.

I loved Garak along as much as Gul Dukat. I liked all the characters (Sisko was top notch) but I have to admit that Major Kira was by far my least favorite. Great series, gonna watch some more this weekend. :D

I wish there was a star trek movie that was just Riker, Sisko, O'Brien and Bashir running around the galaxy having wacky adventures.



Seriously, if Riker had been on DS9, it would've been the perfect show.

I never got into Voyager. I watched the first 2 seasons, but lost interest. DS9 apparently got better after I stopped watching. I should pick them up.

While it certainly wasn't a great movie I would hardly say it is the death of the franchise. I will say it certainly killed of the interest for any more TNG movies to be made. On a side note I always have wondered why they never tried to make a DS9 movie.

I think it was a huge combination of things that led to the franchises currents state. I think part of it is that they constantly kept some form of Star Trek on the air for years and so they obviously started running out of ideas not to emntion people started to lose interest from over saturation. They needed to take a couple of years off for a breather. And in a since that is what has been forced upon us by the lack of originality/over saturation of the franchise. But of course thanks to the new movie any new franchise will be based off the movies time line.
