I really like this movie. It's like gonzo Star Trek. It's The Star Trek and the Furious. It is unapologetically bananas. |

This Eddington guy seems like the real hero. He's awesome. Give that guy a show. Screw the militaristic federation. |

BBC America has been showing a Voyager marathon. I happened to catch an episode that I remember liking during the original run. It was called Meld. It featured Brad Dourif as a psychotic Betazoid named Lon Suder. He was a real ray of light in an otherwise milquetoast cast. The character shows up again later in the series and I remember being so disappointed how his arc ended. He really should have been made a full time cast member or at least show up like O'Brian did on TNG. I thought it was a real missed opportunity and I feel the same now. To have a character who was struggling to control extreme violent tendencies that Janeway had to surrender her principles to occasionally and unleash in critical situations would have really gave that show a shot in the arm. I guess Jerri Ryan's body served the same function though. |

I recently watched all of Enterprise again. Underrated show I think. Had some great episodes. Like all Trek there are also throwaway ideas and episodes, and too much time travel. But the good stuff was class. Very enjoyable. |

Discovery delayed again. No date set. I'm guessing September. |

I did it everyone! I watched all the DS9s! I'm a real winner. notes: -When it focuses on the wormhole/Cardassians/Dominion War, it is fantastic tv. -The Klingon and mirror world episodes are ok. Ferengi ones are entertaining sometimes. -Those Bajor-centric early episodes are absolute death. -The filler episodes can be skipped without missing anything. -Seasons 4 and 6 were the best. -The Dominion and Cardassians make old enemies like Klingons and Romulans look like cartoon characters. Very well done. Final season thoughts: - Whose idea was it to add Vic Fontaine?! What an insane, stupid idea. - wrapped things up pretty well, though the last episode was a bit of a mess. - Kira and Odo have all the chemistry of two logs rubbing together. Nana Visitor is almost cringing her way through those scenes. - For a minute, I thought Bashir was gonna be cool once they made him a Khan clone, but he went right back to sucking. - Ezri was better than Jadzia (who sucked). More character arc in a season than Jadzia had in 6 seasons. - Quark kinda gets left out. Apparently the actor had moved on to Buffy by this point. character rankings: cool guys: Garak Quark Gul Dukat Leeta's boobs O'Brien Weyoun Kira Worf Eddington Nagus ok dudes: Gul Dumar Sisco Odo Martok Rom Ezri Female changeling Nog Kai Wenn Morn Brunt Moogie shitty losers: Ziyal Vic Fontaine (WTF!) Bashir (Annoying) Jadzia (smug Mary Sue to a hilarious degree. Neat twist on the Spock/Data model, but completely wasted.) Jake (makes Wesley seem like a cool guy) The wives: Keiko and Cassidy (total wastes of space) |

It would be pretty cool if this turned out to be good. A miracle but cool. |

I'm starting to think this show is going to happen about like the live action Star Wars show did. |

BurtReynolds wrote: I'm reminded why Voyager sucks. They jettison the premise of the show in about 4 episodes? Then it just becomes a lame TNG clone, without the memorable or likable characters (except maybe the doctor), but lots more technobabble. Janeway is ok I guess, but a pretty shitty captain. I'll give it a couple of seasons. wow this was on air for as long as DS9? I don't remember that, but I was over Star Trek by this point. |

Voyager is super weak on characters. Janeway is really the only one with any presence. I hate Neelix. 7 of 9 was OK. The Year of Hell arc was pretty strong. |

Is the finale of Voyager any good? I never watched any of the final season. |

Old Janeway was involved. |
