For the benefit of this thread surely the post count of 1701 is significant?

indeed... in fact, Mxy, if you DON'T post your 1701st post in this thread, AND make a big song and dance about it i'm going to come after you with a big stick... also that post must include the word AWESOME!! at least three times, oki....

Or if you were really into Voyager you could recognise your 74656th post.

And can't go beyond the original series. Same as the movies, anything after Star Trek III - The Search For Spock is utter garbage!

I choosed original series, because actually i haven't seen any star trek series except couple episodes of original series. Didn't want to but trek smeck, because even original series was pretty good for sci-fi fan like me.

You can't judge any of the Treks by the first season. While I consider DS9 my favourite, I will always have a fondness in my heart for TNG as my first TV obsession, and looking back as a multiple viewer of every single episode, the first season is often laughable. In fact I would say they don't find their feet until season 3. That and season 4 are the best IMO.

I'm with you kb.

Was it the first episode with Counsellor Deanna Troi's ( pain ) really really really shit me. Took a long time to warm to her character.

Mxyzptlk as tC said the Borg episodes are some of the best. Also the Dr. Noonien Soong (Asimov - android) story lines are very good as well.

I noticed. The only reason you caught up was because life got hectic for me for a while (as it will again pretty soon for a couple of months). But don't get too comfortable there, I'll catch-up and overtake you again, just you wait and see...

huh...? methinks if you are going to make posts purely to draw attention to the number of posts you have made, you forfeit the right to pay attention to how many posts you have made...

You're probably right... but it was pretty significant since me and KB were both standing on 1417, which was just one of those weird coincidences... so I felt it deserved a post...

gah... i'll get over it when we get rid of it

and as far as the remastered TOS goes... i think it achieves what they wanted with it [making it more palatable for a younger audience]... but personally, it wasn't for me... part of the charm of the untouched episodes was how bad they looked...

I thought we got over the post count thingy

And while on the Trek side of life - has anybody seen the Remastered TOS series, with the enhanced parts?

my bitching aside, i am determined to get through DS9, mostly for the ron moore factor... and the fact that everybody i know who watched it with any sense of dedication just rave about the above quoted complexity and depth... watching Voyager though i found the only character i had a modicum of tolerance for was Tom Paris... and the rest, like i said... plain annoying... and i think, in hindsight, having sat here trying not to think about it, my distaste for TNG comes mostly from the fact that it was a huge deal to me when i was younger, but when i decided to rerun the episodes last year all it clearly fell into the "you can't go home again" basket... maybe i should try to be a bit more open minded... maybe...

/me is off to watch some DS9 now... :S
