Timberwolf Posted September 25, 2017 Posted September 25, 2017 I liked the original Star Trek, and the movies, but I just struggled with all the Star Treks after. I don't know what it is about them, but they just don't live up to the originals. Quote
Rapture Posted September 25, 2017 Posted September 25, 2017 Personally I'm more star wars then trek for little nitpicky reasons but I did enjoy TNG, DS9 till it was all Sisko this Sisko that, and BOY was great. Never watched enterprise yet but I did enjoy some of the original movies (2, 3, and 4 I think. The one with the whales). But I love the new movies. 2 Quote
Lightningfall Posted September 25, 2017 Posted September 25, 2017 I love Star Trek! The Original series is okay. I love TNG. DS9, meh. Voyager wasn't bad. I didn't care for Enterprise all that much. I like about half of the Original movies. I like the new movies, but I almost don't consider them Star Trek movies. I haven't seen Discovery yet, but I'm very prepared to be underwhelmed. 2 Quote
Phoenix Posted September 26, 2017 Posted September 26, 2017 Watched the first two episodes of Discovery. I wasn't exactly blown away, but I think I will end up watching more of it. DS9 was my favorite Trek, so I'm all for a more gritty series, which is what this looks like it's going to be. It definitely has a different feel, though. Much closer to the Battlestar Galactica reboot than earlier Trek series, but that shouldn't be surprising. BSG had a huge impact. 1 Quote
Ren Posted September 27, 2017 Author Posted September 27, 2017 ??What was appeling in DS9.. I just couldn't get into it. OO Now Phoenix, there was a great show Battlestar Galactica...LOVE the old series...watched it faithfully! Quote

Those are some of the best movies and yes I think its 4 that has the Whales. Quote

Starfleet FINALLY pulled their collective heads from asses and built warships. The Defiant-class is one of the best star trek designs and one of the few that doesn't make me cringe. Quote
Ren Posted September 27, 2017 Author Posted September 27, 2017 I guess Rapture, I only watche a couple episodes and was just not impressed. I may have to rewatch it now. Quote
Rapture Posted September 28, 2017 Posted September 28, 2017 I will give you this Ren. It's boring. Because the station is stationary it's basically 65-75% filler bs. But there are bits that make it worth it. At least to me. Quote

It definitely has a slow start. I don't think the war even truly starts until the fifth season or thereabouts, so until then you have to like the grittier, frontier-like nature of the station. I'll admit it does feel more like Trek when they get the Defiant and they have episodes where they actually start going out. What I loved about the series is the political intrigue, which I adore in fiction, and the series did it as well as I've seen it done in sci-fi. I also really liked the characters--Garak might be my all-time favorite Trek character (again, going back to the intrigue), and I'm a fan of Dax. Many of the antagonists were kinda meh, though. Quote
Rapture Posted September 28, 2017 Posted September 28, 2017 Meh or outright lame. Dukat anyone? Quote
Moonhawk Posted September 28, 2017 Posted September 28, 2017 Favorite part about Star Trek besides the new movies? 1 Quote
