Are There Any Star Trek Fans Around Here?

Um, I guess I can be considered a fan, I just don't do the conventions. I watched all versions of the franchise, so yeah, I guess I am.

*wishes there was a Spock smilie*
 
Yes i am a Trek fan....not a fanatic like i am about Star Wars, but i do love Star trek.....but im a purist i guess, i only like the original series, some of the NextGen, didnt really get into any of the newer series, although i have seen all the movies with the exception of Nemesis and have enjoyed them. ST:TNG does have one of the most annoying characters ever created:Wesley Crusher....always hated him, always wanted to see him get wasted....alas it never happened.
 
I actually prefer the TV series and the movies with the original cast,(except the one Shatner directed) Anything else seemed too "Battlestar Galatica" for my tastes...

every1 will be posting pics of themselves wearin the spock ears soon and doin the vulcan hand thing. i never could get into star trek, just not my taste i guess
 
I have watched all versions off and on havent actually payed to see one of the movies in at the theater but have seen them on the t.v. I must say, the new serious, actually has me interested in it. I like seeing how they explain how earth got involved in the Fedration alliance and it's role in shapeing the universe. To me thats more interesting.

I liked mr spock and his amazing ears. Captain kirk wasn't bad too. Loved the original tv series from the 60's and the movies.
 
Enterprise alienated the "hard core" Trekkers ...

I should have posted this here, then linked from the other thread (on canceled shows), but here's my views on the Enterprise series, the forthcoming prequel movie, etc...

Way to bring a thread back from the dead, but anyway:

I can't stand Star Trek, i did actually get a headache whilst trying to watch it just because i thought it was so terrible.

However Jolene Blalock was totally fucking hot in that most recent spin-off, still one of my fave babes ever.
 
"Let That Be Your Last Battlefield"

My favorite episode from the original Star Trek (which is, by far, the best of the lot).
Two men, running around the bridge, itching to go at each other, when eventually breaks down into dialog with the crew ...

"It is obvious to the most simpleminded that Lokai is of an inferior breed."
"The obvious visual evidence, Commissioner, is that he is of the same breed as yourself."
"Are you blind, Commander Spock? Well, look at me. Look at me!"
"You're black on one side and white on the other."
"I am black on the right side."
"I fail to see the significant difference."
"Lokai is white on the right side. All of his people are white on the right side."

The obliviousness of the many to the conflicts of the few, the entire set of ignorance and sadness and tragedy wrapped around a strong, determined, unflinching will that others cannot understand -- oh the epiphany when I first saw that very short scene with the resulting dialog above!

I'm rarely one to be oblivious to the meaning.. but.. WHAT?! Is that a subtle racial observation put forth like that one Green Lantern comic where he talks to.. aw hell, who else would read 20+ year old crap like I did? :p

I loved that one. The overacting of Frank Gorshin was priceless. At times I felt as though he was doing his impression of Kirk Douglas doing the character.
 
I'm a big fan myself.

Loved the TNG series and Voyager. DS9 is fine. Only at time of the war. The rest of the show is "How about ODO ?"

Enterprise was cool too ! Loved the GFX effects and 3d's. To bad Rick Berman screwed up the history of Star Trek. Like the first Borg encounter. Even though they didnt say "We are the borg", but just resistance is futile. Every trekkie knows they wore the borg.

My view on the movies. I love ALL the movies. But I think Search for Spock, First Contact and Nemesis are the best.

Too bad Data is gone. But we have his prototype. B4 lol.

2008 will be the year for the new movie I believe. Would not be on a ship orso I believe. Here's some info.

I'm more of a Star Wars fan but I do love Star Trek...I'm a big fan of the original and Next Gen.

Voyager was frustrating..

Has anyone here seen what they've done to the original series? They went and did special editions of the entire series - new ship fx, backgrounds, etc...
