I am a Trekkie from way back, but I just can't warm up to Enterprise. Seems like they decided to get mostly uninteresting characters and then spend $45-$50 per episode in production costs. My God, the don't even have shields. At WHAT is that cannon all about? While I am ranting, they aren't even beaming around - too scary. Pretty sad. Well, except for certain Vulcan crew members.
Pete, TNG is out on DVD; I've got the first season. I also noticed they just released the first season of Voyager. I've got most of the movies on DVD and they get multiple viewing. Between Star Trek and Stargate SG-1 (Season 6 is being delivered today!), my intergalactic needs are pretty much taken care of.

I miss it too. TNG was my favorite of the Star Treks.... So are one of you old Trekkers going to flame me for that? :P
I never really cared for voyager. DS9 was good for a few seasons and I watch Enterprise once in a while (I like Bacula and the alien doc), but not enough to know all the character names. The vulcan does not do much for me but that could be the over exposure to plastic boobies I experience here in the Bay Area. I do like Linda Park though.

Nice thread hijack, guys.
I'm with James R on the Trek comments. I liked TNG a lot, and we are just now starting to relive them in sequence by renting the stream of DVD's. Oh wait, that's a different hijacked thread.

I think the cast of TNG was fantastic together. It's a pity that their last movie (ST:The Wrath of Picard's Clone) was so bad.
DS9, however, was just fantastic, once they got the series off the ground.
I never got that into Voyager (I mean, I watched it all, but...)
Enterprise is pretty disappointing. I haven't watched for 2 weeks; maybe it gets better...

wow, i didn't mean to go that far OT...
loved TNG, I end up on SpikeTV a lot when it's on. Didn't like Voyager or DS9. Enterprise is good, not great but it is in HD. Character development is moving along at least. Also, I didn't really get into TNG until further into the series, probably after yar left. I think Bakula makes a good character though.

Ken,
you're bang-on. DS9 was incredible when it truly got going. Unfortunately, reruns are rarely on tv. Meanwhile, I could catch TNG 8 times a night if I wanted to!

The problem is, they cost a fortune. The Bab5 discs are way cheaper. And the Simpsons discs are cheaper still! Mmmm... Simpsons...

That's what I could have used my tax return for! Instead, I wasted it repaying my car loan.
