I have never seen any of the 'Enterprise' shows...I gave up after "Deep Space Nine"
After Rick Berman took over for Gene, I felt he went too dark. Like he was trying to turn it into "Star Wars" instead.....Star Trek to me was always built on hope and the thought that people were better than they thought they could be...
Enterprise is set 100 years after the Cochrane test flight of the Phoenix. It is set in the very early days of Star Fleet, even before the Romulan War forced the creation of the Federation. go rent some of the dvds I think that you will like it. The chief engineer has a Texas accent about as thick as mine, so I guess we Texans were not all wiped out in WWIII
:laugh:
now I know they did have an attraction.....they were VERY fond of one another but I can't see Picard having an affair with someone's wife. I think Jack Crusher was her 'college sweetheart'....I didn't get the impression he would have been ambitious enough for her...
I would put mine up against yours any day!! (I think there is still a recording of me around here somewhere) but you KNEW we would survive...we could hide out in the Dead Woods...
why wouldn't Picard take one on the sly? he bent the rules just as much as Kirk did, Picard would just intoned the correct political phraseology to make it sound OK. Kirk just bulled his way into whatever he wanted without an apologetic explanation.
the best doctor they ever had was McCoy (of course) but I DID like Beverly.....loved her hair.
one of my favorite episodes was the one about the flight accident at Starfleet Academy
McCoy was my ideal as well, I would like to be like Picard, but I am just not modulated enough to make it work. I tell it like it is, the hell with the varnish.
oh no he wouldn't!! He had impeccable moral standards...unlike that Kirk that broke the Prime Directive every other episode!
plus he was MUCH sexier than Kirk
NO!!that is absolutely true
really??
I find that so hard to believe!!
I would like to be that smart...and have the ability to think strategically like he did. Seemed to always be one step ahead of everyone...
we agree on that, Picard was definitely sexy, in a balding kind of way! I see now how you have accumulated 900,000 posts, we have already racked up about 15 in a few minutes. and I bet you have several of these IM type sites scattered around.

I have watched all the Trek shows, although have possibly missed a few episodes of the original. Enterprise was interesting. They had a dilemma with the techno props - if you look at the communicators in the original and the other shows, they were huge ... now go back in time to Enterprise, which is still set in our future, and think about how small our cell phones are today! Also, Florida, my home state, does not fare so well in Enterprise.
Hmmm - I respectfully disagree. With future technology, we won't need our fingers. Phones will be voice or thought activated. But good try! ;D

Voyager - Janeway's (Kate Mulgrew) mousey voice bothered me at first, but I grew to really like the show. And I thought Tom Paris was hot. Roxann Dawson, who starred as B'Elanna Torres, went on to direct several episodes of Enterprise.
The Next Generation - Thank goodness they brought Trek back! I loved this show!
DS-9 was my least favorite of the Trek shows.
Gene Roddenberry's wife was Majel Barrett. She starred in some Trek episodes ("Nurse Chapel" from Star Trek and "Lwaxana Troi" in Star Trek: The Next Generation), and did have quite a bit to do with later Trek series.
Has anyone ever been a complete nerd and filmed a mini-Trek episode (starring yourself and two friends) at Universal's theme park in Orlando? I admit it. It is worth a laugh!
On another note, any Babylon 5 or Battlestar Galactica (the new one) fans here?
not to be too "Trekkie" here but here is my thoughts on that.
We are going to tiny little phones..but there will come a point when small will be TOO small...our fingers are only able to manipulate things well that they can get a grip on! so I think ;D They wised up in the future and went with utility over size...what was most comfortable and easiest for the majority to use.
fave movie was the Wrath of Kahn!!
that Ricardo Montalban....dang, he could chew up some scenery...
ST II was good, but, "Generations" ST VII is better, one of the best sci fi movies ever.
Enterprise D is destroyed in the film, the next film the Enterprise E premiers.
Jess you're enjoying the scifi tech aspects of the story so much that you may be unconsciously ignoring the symbolism in the film. "Generations" is about the passage of time and the fact that we grow old and a new generation takes over, not only of Kirk to Picard but also ship D to ship E. Go watch the film again with your film critics glasses on and I know you will find a deeper enjoyment in it. This is the one Star Trek movie that really can be looked at metaphorically as having symbolic or deeper meanings. In this case it is the deeper meaning of life, death, mortality, etc.
I like the movie so much, I put a quote from Dr Soran at the bottom of my posts.
Really??
Nichelle is one hot lady! Did she say if she and Gene had an on-going affair, or was it just nookies now and then. And was Majel jealous?
And was anyone else jealous?
Has anyone ever given thought as to why the George Takei really hates Wm Shatner, is their some jealousy there? and I mean of jealousy the sexual kind.
???
and why would you think he would be sexually jealous? did William have an affair with someone??
Takei wrote an autobiography about 15 years ago and he just unleashes on Shatner. my thought about Takei stems from the fact that he is a gay man. so, I have wondered if there was jealousy at many different levels on TOS

like I say the jealously may be at many different levels. the fellow who played Scotty, I forgot his name, also unleashed on Shatner in the years before he died.
the only one who seemed to get along with everyone was DeForest Kelly.
James Doohan...
Everybody disliked Bill Shatner, just in varying degrees.
I'm not sure - can't recall - if Nichelle meant "affair" as in with Gene as a married man, or just 'love affair' as in before he was married.
but maybe Shatner is mellowing, because they love him on Boston Legal, one of my Fav tv shows, I let DL TIVO it for me and I watch them later.
what is up with him and that other guy? the one he is always sitting in the chairs with smoking a cigar and talking about 'sleepovers"??
I believe they disliked him - mostly - because he was a ham, he hogged the spotlight, he demanded all the attention be put on him, he actively sought to cut others' lines so as to give himself more dialogue, that kind of thing.
There was a recent History Channel special in the last year and it kinds of hints at his ego issues. It was about Star Trek technology becoming a reality and Bill Shatner was the host. And for the commercial plugs, it was him saying,
"It was me me me - I did all these things..."
I'm sure he's mellowed because he's not the draw he once was. I do congratulate him, though. Somehow, he's made himself a 2nd career late in life as a writer, on TV and films portraying himself and as a character actor and I'm sure that also chapped some asses even worse.
She has been showing up in Heroes, as has George Takei.
Do you remember Walter Koenig playing Bester in Babylon 5? I loved him in that role.
awww..
:-\ :-\
dang I be feeling old...guess there really WON"T be anymore movies with the ol crew...
Alas, for what might have been!
