Personally I can think of nothing cooler than, for instance, painting the Enterprise-D on a black starry bass.

I'm a next generation fan, every other series seemed a little weak in comparison.

My girlfriend got me into Star Trek. We had a ball at the Star Trek themed restaurant and pseudo-amusement place in Vegas.

I like every Trek with the exclusion of the original. Guess its just too old-school for me.

I prefer DS9 > Voyager > Next Gen

I have yet to watch much of Enterprise but from what I have seen.. it is not very good.

Lightsaber > Star Trek.

Im not saying Star Wars is better, im not opening that can of worms... im just saying the Light Saber pwns everything in the Star Trek universe.

I guess its the molded design of the past and the future, the romance of swords and the noble knight + technology.

Captain, your comment is completely illogical!

SIR! The Klingons have raised their deflector shields!

But sir, cats ARE sometimes better than humans at certain things.


What do you know about the wormhole's recent activity?

I watched the movies again recently and they were cool, but I don't watch TV so I haven't seen an episode in a decade. The Deanna Troi was hot, but I liked the Doctor more on Next Gen.

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's hillarious!!!!!

As for the topic, I consider myself a huge fan of Star Trek. I own all the Original Series DVD sets, some of the movies, and a couple TNG DVDs. I never bothered to watch Voyageur or Enterprise, but I'll probably check out some reruns on TV. I wouldn't consider myself too much of a Star Trek trivia buff or anything, but I just really enjoy the original and TNG (Haven't seen a Deep Space Nine episode in a while ).
