I always hated that BS in Star Trek.


Hmm, Bones was killed in one episode, but brought back to life....

blame it on the royal fucktards (Roddenberry and Berman) to create the crappy, cliche, technobabble-filled crapfest that was TNG

as for Roddenberry... he created it, but he didn't give a shit about it. he was lazy. he didn't even want to say what year "Star Trek" happened in.

weak


That is what you think.  1 just totally sucked ass.  All those people who liked it have a bad taste for movies.  I do not understand why people liked 2 so much.  It was not that great.  3  sucked except for that fact that it had Christopher Lloyd as a klingon.  That was cool.  4 was awesome.  5 was nothing but masturbation.  What was the point of 5?  Since when does the Enterprise-A have 78 decks?  Unless you like seeing mccoy eat "marshmellons" and kirk and spock hug in front of klingons, this movies sucked.  6 was good.  7 was good.  8 WAS BY FAR THE BEST FUCKING STAR TREK MOVIE!!!!  9 was ok.  10 was ok.

Jimmy, how come you mention 5 as one of the "best", but not 6?  Dont tell me you like 5 more then 6???

the 78-deck thing is a known duff.

did you also notice that the decks counted up from the bottom?

also, the brig is on like deck 7, near the base of the saucer... not at the bottom of the ship

Also, there is no way to climb up a single vertical shaft from the bottom of the ship to the top of it.

And now it has been confirmed that Brent Spiner will have a guest apperance in a 3 episode mini arc.  I think he is going to play a ancestor of doctor Dr. Noonien Soong.

Why do you say that?  I think this is a good thing.  It will finally make the show feel like it is related to the other star trek shows at all.

Well, Enterprise is pretty much dead.  Several weeks ago, Paramount decided to reduce the number of episodes for the next season. I just read in USA today that they are also going to move it to a 9 pm slot on Friday night.  

Wasn't this exactly the time slot that killed TOS?

that's NOT GOOD.

Enterprise seems to me to be a re-invention of Star Trek. It's as much an "alternate reality" as it is anything. There are things that they have and have happened in the show that cannot be reconciled. Their level of technology is stupid when compared with TOS (did you know that they used LASERS up until a decade before TOS because phasers didn't put out enough damage?).

Enterprise is fun to watch, and IMHO, still a great show. I will never accept that it is in any way historically accurate. It spits in the face of Mike Okuda's Trek history.
