Sad news. It was just starting to get really good now that Rick Berman and Brannon Braga were pushed off to the side.
They'll finish the current season, then, kaput.

Didnt know tey still made them.

aw

Better buy your bottled water and canned goods now. I feel a trekkie riot forming.
-
It's dead, Jim.

Can't say I'll miss it. The franchise went sour a good decade ago.

Has it ever been any good besides when Picard was at the helm?

I thought TNG was the best of them all, but even its last season was one year too late on cancellation.
-
I really like Enterprise. I have to agree with Chairboy, it was starting to get really good this season. At least I've got Battlestar Gallactica to pick up the slack. But no way is Starbuck as hot as T'Pol.

Shaka, when the walls fell.
-
That's too bad. I never really watched it all that much, but it was nice to tune in now and then to watch the trekkiness.
-
I never got into Enterprise. It looked , technology wise, way ahead of where the Voyager/TNG/DS9 world was.
And Im not a big Scott Bakula fan anyways.
I think I only saw 5 or 6 episodes. Nothing there that made me want to keep coming back.
Last of the good Trek went when Voyager signed off. I think season 2-4 of Voyager are my favorites.
-
I really liked Enterprize in the first season.
They lost me sometime not far into the second season.
But Battlestar Galactica is pretty awesome.

Trek question...
There was a show on TNG about a probe that glommed onto Picard's brain and made him think he was living some other guy's life... something about a sun going nova and learning to play the flute... What the heck was the name of that episode?????
-
It was called "Surfing With The Alien"

I coulda sworn it was called Jethro Tullstar.

The guy who played data was even made an appearnce on the show..

Damn MT you asked me the same question last year. And I agree, The Inner Light is one of the best if not the best ST episode ever.
-
I would like Scott Bakula more if his name was Scott DRACULA!!!

"Inner Light" was voted the best TNG episode ever, if I recall correctly. Certainly my favorite.
-
STE lost me when they started with the weddings sh*t... then lost me again when BSG came out.
-
Have you ever kissed a girl?
-
My favorite original ST episodes were the ones with Kirk's sexretary, Yoeman Rand. I used to date a chick that could have been her twin sister.

My favourite is definately TNG. It had the magic.
-
well ill believe its cancelled AFTER the cancel date and they make no more shows. This could just be a puplicity stunt for ratings and to see fans reaction
-
Oh they'll cancel it all right. They have the 100 episodes they need for sindication and ever since BSG hit Sci-Fi, the ratings that were already worrisome turned dismal.
The actor who plays Dr. Phlox said in an interview prior to the announcement that he didn't think the series would be renewed.
The last episodes (with the exception of Daedalus) have been a turn for the better, but it still lacks the magic of the best trek.
TNG and Voyager are the best IMO. I wouldn't compare any trek series to BSG, it's a different kind of Sci-Fi.

Aye, definitely the best!
Shame about Enterprise, I really enjoyed it because it wasn't as pretentious as the other incarnations. They didn't have the Prime Directive too! :)

I find it interesting that nobody even talks about DS9. That was my favorite of all the series, and I have seen 'em all.
hmmm....

Oh, in regards to SERIES, Deep Space Nine is the best, hands down, for me. The depth of the stories, especially Seasons 5-7, and the serial nature really appealed to me.
Characters died, things in one episode affected things in the next, it was great. Oh, and it had actual relationships. In TNG, the closest thing to an actual relationship was Riker and Troi playing high-school girlfriend/boyfriend. Hardly compelling stuff.
In DS9, you had interracial and interspecies relationships, you had realistic conflicts and fights, even death and dealing the aftermath.
Also, the best fights. Space battles that exceeded the mark set by Return of the Jedi, like Babylon 5 did too in the same time frame.
Enterprise was just starting to get good, and seemed to be setting course in that direction. Too bad.

So a pregnant Kira beating up 3 Klingon warriors in hand to hand was realistic? :rolleyes:
DS9 was the best of them all imho though. TNG was cool, but repetative. Voyager lost me after about season 4. Enterprise never got my attention.
Now, for all you trekkers (or trekkies) that make it to Vegas, hit up the Hilton. Star Trek:The Experience & the Borg Invasion are pretty cool. Quark's Bar's food sucks though. Just order some onion rings & a warp core breech (5 kinds of rum & cranberry juice served over dry ice). I remember walking in, and vaugely remember staggering out.

Did that last year on a shotgun trip. Was a pretty cool thing. Only "trick" I couldn't figure out was how they had the floor change while you were standing on it.
Gift shops were pretty nice as well. Tribbles make good gifts.
As far as series: TNG was my favorite. STV I didn't get interested in until it hit the late night reruns. DS9 and STE never grabbed me.
I'm surprised no one got my obscure reference from my favorite TNG episode to STE being canceled. Maybe it was too obscure.
-
Wow... that was Star Trek?? I though it was some 'morph' of Quantum Leap.
Quantum Leap = The most 'miss-used phrase in the World
(It would be the smallest Leap Possiable)

Nothin' obscure about it. Darmok at Tanagra, his hands wide open! THE WALLS FELL!
My AP English teacher recorded it and played it in class.

"Nothin' obscure about it. Darmok at Tanagra, his hands wide open! THE WALLS FELL! "
Number 1, I think there is some significance to the walls fell, or he is stoned..and keeps repeating himself and waving that damn knife around...ugly bastage isn't he? Oh crap, just saw a shimmering thingy something over there, this can't be good, don't think that friggin knife is going to do any good, and my phaser, oh crap, I grabbed the cell phone by accident.... wouldn't ya know it, the one place Verizon can't hear me now.... SHUT UP about the damn walls falling, we got a situation here!!... This Darmok dude, he available to take my place and hold up the "wall" ?....crap number 1, I don't think he understands me...
:D

It's sad - it was picking up nicely after Bremen and Braga stopped having creative input, as you say Chair.
They never seemed to get the ST ideal formula: scripts written by actual sci-fi writers, costume designers looking to show some skin, casting for guest actresses who could show off the costumes, and diverse characters.
B&B always seemed to be shooting for an adult drama that just happened to be set in the future.

I've been using my NetFlix account to see all the Voyager episodes again. Currently on season 4. So far, I think my favorite has to be the one where Tuvok has some brain anomaly and uses a meld to cure it. Turns out, he's back on Sulu's "Excelsior"...its neat how they made that look as tho everything was timeless (despite quite a bit of time passed from that movie and the filming of the episode). I think its called "The Meld" or something.
Only DS9 episode I liked was the time travel one with the tribbles. DS9 didnt get good until Worf and the shooting started. Before then, it was "Cheers" in space. Snore.

I remember, but I was going to rent a video and was feeling too lazy to look that old thread up.
Season 5 BTW if anyone cares.

I understand MT, fogetfullness is common among the aged.

Despite the primitive special effects (by today's standards), and the stop-start dialogues delivered by William Shatner, the original series contained some of the best episodes of the entire franchise.
Can't remember all of the titles, but here are a few;
Balance of Terror
The Trouble With Tribbles
Mudd's Women...and..
I...Mudd (Anything with Harcourt Fenton Mudd is a must-see)
Amok Time
Tomorrow is Yesterday

Yea! "The Inner Light" was one of my favorite episodes.
The first time I seen it, I got all choked up when he started playing that flute at the end! Powerful stuff!!
One of Star Trek's finest hours!
-
Inner Light, and Yesterdays Enterprise were excellent.
I've always thought TNG's Season 6 Chain of Command Pts.1 and 2 were the best Next Gen eps. David Warner was excellent!
Add Deja Q, Descent Part 1, and the for mentioned Darmok.
DS9 improved markedly after Worf, and I've always been a fan of all the Voyager series, and TOS.

I had high hopes for the next season of Enterprise. This season is supposed to wind up with the forming of The Federation. Left a lot of room for some great battle scenes next season. Maybe we will see that in the next ST incarnation.
