There are episodes on BBC2 late at night periodically.
Just saw "Hard Time". That was an amazingly good, and very powerful episode. One of the best Trek episodes across all series I've ever seen. I'm not even that big a fan of O'Brien, but Colm Meaney played did a wonderful job with this episode.
It reminded me of the truly painful M.A.S.H. final episode where Hawkeye falls apart over the death of a child that he indirectly caused.

I've never really seen any Star Trek, but I think the new movie looks amazing, so I've decided to start watching it from the beginning. Two episodes into the original series, so far so good.

I caught Star Trek Generations last night on HBO. I remember liking this movie back when it was released in the theater, but found it severely lacking while watching last night.

I'm watching the original series for the first time on my xbox through netflix. I'm on the 4th episode and i feel like it's gotten through that awkwardness from the first 3 of awkward dialogue and random shots of peoples faces.
I'm such a star trek noob :lol

One my favorite aspects of DS9 is much the writers fucked with O'Brien. Job ain't got SHIT on him.

The girl whom I showed "Duet" and didn't liked it watched "The Wire" last night and she said it was really good!
Christmas Break is coming up, and I asked her if she has time to watch three episodes and she said she would be able to.
I'm thinking of showing "Cardassians," "Necessary Evil," and "Hard Time."
Until she has time to watch the whole series (she's too busy right now and will likely be until the end of the school year), she probably won't see other episodes unless I can think of other good ones.

When you're being an ass, I can't help it. DS9 gets so much love because it's just that awesome; Garak has gained another fan (my friend), and Besada is going through DS9 and posting his impressions, so right now it isn't unusual to find more posts talking about DS9.Kak.efes said:I'm just amazed at the amount of love DS9 gets around here, pay no mind to me
So i've started watching the original series.... I don't know what to think. I'm a big TNG fan, and liked Enterprise ok, but I'm not sure I'll be able to get into the original series...
The acting from most of the guest starts and secondary characters is often so over-the-top its laughable, and the special effects are just ....:lol :lol
I appreciate it for what it is, and I love it for starting what it did, but gah, aside from the writing and stories, I dunno :lol

Besada, how far along are you in DS9?
Dax01 said:
I just watched "One Little Ship", so I'm well into Season Six. I haven't run across any really weak episodes lately, so if you want commentary on a specific one, just let me know.
The recent stand outs that weren't Dominion War related (which are all good), are "Far Beyond the Stars", "Children of Time", and "Soldiers of the Empire".
I don't even hate Bashir anymore. I understand what you meant about the character development. No other Trek even comes close to the range these characters are seeing. I can't say I was really pleased with the handling of Odo's "Link Addiction" subplot, but other than that I've really enjoyed watching the characters change and grow.
I'm not sure I'll ever be able to let go of TOS as my favorite, in part because of the Kirk/Spock/McCoy triangle, and in part because it fathered most of the background and most of the plots for the following shows, but I already like DS9 more than I did TNG.

It's almost like they chose to put episodes with such different extremes of tone side by side to give viewers whiplash.besada said:

Wow, Besada, you're plowing through this. I thought you would have been in season 5.

WOW. This episode was incredible; Shatner\Nimoy\Kelley triple threat is killer, script and acting are fantastic, and it's the first episode where I really BELIEVE in the Enterprise as a cohesive structure rather than a series of sets. (Sulu freezing subplot was LOL as fuck btw)

Fandango did it's annual polling of movie goers (not little online polls, but real polling) to see what movies will be the highest grossers of next year. Usually it is pretty solid in how the summer films end up doing. If it is the same this year then it looks like our little Star Trek franchise is on the brink of becoming a gigantic blockbuster for the masses :
Cheebs said:
We shall see. I'll be there opening weekend regardless but I still have serious reservations that this film will be the summer smash that everyone seems to assume it's going to be.
But to be perfectly honest I will eat my fucking hat if Star Trek is still above Transformers come March/April. These things are moving targets especially as we still have the Avatar trailer to debut.
There's still alot of space between now and Summer 09. If you recall Ironman wasn't tracking that great until the Superbowl trailer that blew people away.
It's early and there's no such thing as a 'dead cert' in showbiz.
