Hehe, you're right, I'm not a Star Trek fan and never have been. I always saw it as a soap opera in space.Tyler Morris wrote: Uh, are you having a mental dichotomy?
for all it's failings, Voyager didn't tread all over the franchise's established history and lay waste to thirty years of bulding that history...
Maybe you're just not a real Trek fan
Bad, very bad science-fiction

Exactly! I loved the original ST when I was young, but now it makes me cringe. I enjoyed Next Gen at first, but soon became bored. The rest (DS9, Voyager, Enterprise) just never interested me.harpmaker wrote:At one time or another, I both enjoyed and was also disappointed by all of the Trek series.

My all-time favorite SF TV shows are Firefly and Babylon 5; I have them both on DVD. Farscape, Stargate SG1 and others that I've tried to watch just didn't measure up.
I haven't seen the new Battlestar Galactica, so I can't comment on it. (I didn't like the original BSG, so I ignored the new BSG when it came out. Now, I'm so far behind I doubt I'll bother trying to catch up.)

this coming from one of the guys who might be found arguing any equally pointless matters in the rubber room? okay, I'm just kidding...

Shhh..don't let the others hear you call the discussions pointless.

Discussing politics is like having a conversation with the ex. You know that no matter what the subject....it could be as innocent as what you had to eat for lunch....you know that they are going to somehow work your past sins into the conversation

The whole thing is available on dvd. I've rented them all from netflix. There is a pilot episode, then season 1.I haven't seen the new Battlestar Galactica, so I can't comment on it. (I didn't like the original BSG, so I ignored the new BSG when it came out. Now, I'm so far behind I doubt I'll bother trying to catch up.)

My reason for mentioning it was that I got mixed up with figuring out what to rent. I watched the pilot, then disc 2 of season one, so I saw disc 1/season 1 out of sequence, which enraged me. 
You need to rent the pilot, then disc1/season1, etc. Seems obvious in retrospect.
