I think its different when you need huge amounts of prosthetics and makeup. Its gruelling apparently and in cases like data they couldn’t make it look right as he aged.

@zephyr awesome thread and good to know people love quark I just watched all the negus episodes last week haha

@CosmoNut enterprise is great from season 3 with season 4 being the best bit. But yeah what were they thinking for that theme song and length. Oh and Babylon 5 is the shit. Always disappointed they never did the telepath war. So much foreshadowing.

As a Trekkie from the age of 7… Now in my late thirties I would say this is very true.

Some of the new stuff is terrible, I couldn’t even watch some of the stuff on prime I disliked it so much.

As someone else said a quark/frengie spin off would be great… Needs to have jadzia Dax in it though…:heart_eyes::heart_eyes::heart_eyes:

I was just commenting on the fact that “Picard” is only running one more season because Patrick Stewart was planning to stop working on a fast paced tv production schedule. They had announced that season 3 would be the last season.

Although now they are saying that they are leaving the narrative open ended so they could make more, but it hasn’t been renewed for season 4.

Yup & that Rod Stewart haircut took me out of it :laughing:

Stargate is decent, so is Babylon 5. Both could have been better (graphics/acting wise) but still I watched every single episode 3x :+1: @CosmoNut

I’m a fan of ST from the days of the original series - well, I watched them in syndication after school as a kid in the 1970s. I’ve been through TNG and Voyager and am finally getting into the good stuff on my first watch of DS9. I’ve tried some of the newer series but they haven’t really grabbed me. I’ll give them a more intent watch in the future.

Any thoughts on The Orville? I love the mix of SciFi and humor. It is basically a Star Trek series without the franchise name.

Ahhh the Orville. Some episodes I find great others I am like wtf is this. Season 1 made it seem like everything was kinda a joke, I’m glad they started taking a more serious tone at least some of the time.

The Orville S1 was magic! S2 & 3… meh. The pandemic break ruined abunch of shows.

I agree with cosmonaut though, it was hit & miss. Some Eps great others trash.

Really? I thought season two was the best and yeah we agree 3 was very meh. Of course I am going off memory and I haven’t watched it 50,000 times so maybe your right and it was season one that was the good one lol

I’m with you!
Watched original StarTrek with my Dad…before syndication!
Then after school later on…
LOVE the Orville!
YES-a bit Dorky-- but still hits on a lot of Social Topics the way StarTrek did…just more humor.

The ep where they pretended to be Krill & took out the ship with light… Pretty sure that was the best. What’s your fav?

Ya know I haven’t read more of the thread than the first couple posts…however I have watched every star trek episode and movie multiple times except for the very newest…
This show always struck me as a little odd…always kinda gave me the gitters…thinking about it now I have a decent reason…there is no talk about Buddhism. Supposedly they come from a peaceful future earth society yet there is no mention of Buddhism, the world’s greatest “peace” “movement”. In viewing some of the newer episodes they seem trying… struggling with the star trek universe, like they can’t quite define it. I think that if the show were to place a focus on. Buddhism as a facet of a future earth at peace etc etc, the show would have new breath breathed into it…

Just my 2 cents!

I know what you’re saying but I believe they don’t mention any major religion by name. Star Trek was always supposed to be about cooperation so call the religion whatever you want as long as it leads to a greater cooperation. IMHO
