Just watched Galaxy Quest, it was fucking brilliant.
I grew up watching TNG with my dad, I've always had a soft spot for it. Growing up with it made me love astronomy and anything relating to space. One thing that always bugged me was that my friends think that Star Trek is "boring" and how Star Wars is so much better, even though the two shouldn't even be compared. Anyways, TNG is my favorite one, but TOS is still great, mainly because of Leonard Nimoy.
On a sidenote, has anyone noticed any similarities between Mass Effect and Star Trek? I've noticed a few myself, and it makes me appreciate the game even more.
I just watched the episode of voyager regarding janeway's ancestors working on the millennium gate, and at the beginning i was like "this looks familiar", and as i got further and further in to the episode it finally dinged that i had watched this episode when it was new as it came out like 10 years ago. I hardly remembered it was star trek because I could only remember the scenes with the millennium gate. it brought back a lot of nostalgia and it owned.

Yeah, I am an original O'Donnell, but what was the gate supposed to be? a shopping center or something?

Yes I fucking hate this as well. the two are NOTHING alike except for the fact that they take place in space. I've found that most people that compare them have only watched one
FAGGOTS

It was some sort of contained biosphere that would be used to see how to make stuff similar to that on Mars but yeah it was meant to have a ton of shops too.

It does not last anyway World War 3 is just around the corner.
TNG and Voyager are always going to be my two favorites. Why? They focused the most on my favorite pseudo-race of perfectionist cybernetic beings, the Borg. Resistance is futile, bitches!

It was the first bio-sphere, capable of a self sustaining civilization, the people in the 21st century (namely mr. janeway) thought of it as nothing more than a glorified shopping mall because it had 600 spots open for businesses.

just watched the temporal distortion episode. holy shit it was somewhat confusing. seven of nine goes back in time like 5 times to try to catch someone that put a bomb on voyager, and finally they figure out who it was, and it turns out it was the person that planned the whole thing to stop the person from putting it on voyager, and then it caused all sorts of problems with the timeline so they had to send janeway back in time to stop them from needing to go back in time to stop the temporal bomb thing from being put on voyager.
Voyager was the only series I got really into, but I've watched a fair few episodes of TNG, TOS and Enterprise.

TNG barely focused on the borg. Maybe just the right amount in my opinion. Voyager had far too many borg episodes. It was inevitable seeing as how it was in the Delta Quadrant but they could have at least tried to avoid them so often. Voyager caused what I think TVTropes calls villain decay for the borg.
In writing this post I think I noticed something else that made me like TNG more than other series. When the scene changes location and it shows a short shot of the ship in space to show the audience where it's happening, there were a lot of times where there was [i]only[/i] the ship in TNG and maybe something else what was relevant to the episode like a planet or other ship.
In the later series it felt a lot more cluttered. There were either loads of ships everywhere, a clusterfuck of torpedoes, or some random nebula in the background. Barely any space fights in TNG but it still had action, and even when there were it was exiting but not excessive (and not almost boring like the first TOS episode with the Romulans).
I find that TOS and TNG used technobabble as an excuse to have fun stories. By Voyager, despite having its share of really good stories, it seemed like they used technobabble and stories as an excuse to have PEW PEW Lasers!

I really liked that one too, but I can never remember if it comes before or after "Future's End". He refers to Future's End in that episode but since he's a time traveller the episode where he refers to it could easily have come first.
If I had to order my favorite series, it'd be something like this.
1)DS9
2)TNG
3)VOY
4)TOS
5)ENT
DS9 gets number one because of the fact that it's got complex character arcs, Worf is actually an epic character, and Sisko's the shit. TNG's classic, period. VOY gets respect because it's just fun to watch, it sticks with the Star Trek feeling and debuted exactly 24 hours after I was born(fun fact!). TOS...okay, kinda hard to say that I don't really like the progenitor of my favorite franchise, but I just can't get into it.
ENT...let's not get started on Enterprise...
Yep star trel owns
I always remembered my favorite episode being the one where Data is evaluated as to wether or not he can be classified as human, thanks to being self-aware.
You don't find quality writing anymore. Looking back on Star Trek and TNG, it's a fucking shame that kids today are growing up with such shit on TV.
I miss good television.
Deep Space Nine is my favorite, then comes Voyager.
Still have to finish watching TNG, just don't like it as much as the others.
You have to admit that Species 8472 kicked unbelievable amounts of Borg ass, shame Janeway looked into the short term and simply negotiated safe passage through Borg Space instead of [I]letting the Borg go extinct.[/I]
[QUOTE=Canuhearme?;25548088]You have to admit that Species 8472 kicked unbelievable amounts of Borg ass, shame Janeway stopped their genocide against them.[/QUOTE]
They would have moved on to the rest of the galaxy after they finished with the borg.
[QUOTE=Thom12255;25548142]They would have moved on to the rest of the galaxy after they finished with the borg.[/QUOTE]
They attacked the Borg because the Borg invaded their dimension, then tried to assimilate them. Species 8472 saw them as a threat.
They were hostile to Janeway and the Federation because they knew Janeway (and by their extension of though, the Federation) helped the Borg in creating an effective anti-8472 weapon (which made them assume the Federation was working with the Borg), it was only after diplomatic talks between Janeway and a member of Species 8472 (where Janeway talked to them about why she helped the Borg in the first place) that they agreed to peace.
that would be emotionally insensitive to seven of nine
Seven of Nine has the same feelings about the borg though, she knows that they don't respect life and are mass murderers
I hope I'm not grossing anyone out, but there is a disturbing lack of Seven/Queen fan-fictions...It actually doesn't seem so bad when you think about it.
Aww hell, further research indicates they wanted to annihilate [I]all[/I] life in the galaxy, they were simply starting with the Borg first. However, they seem to have an on and off peace with the Federation.
p. sure the federation + the klingons + the romulans + the cardassians + the dominion + the assorted other races of the galaxy could beat them after they took out the bizzorg

Klingons, Romulans, Cardassians and the Dominion working together? lol

Somehow, doubt that'd make a difference even if they could put aside their genocidal and xenophobic hatred of each other for five minutes. A Borg cube has the same strength as a small Fed fleet (see; Star Trek: First Contact, Wolf 359). If 8472 can take one of those out, let alone all of them? We're screwed.
Also, anybody play STO? Used to play it, but didn't stay for very long.

against something that fucks the borg in the ass on a regular basis, yeah I'm pretty sure it could happen

I'd think that non-borg civilisations might have better luck with species 8472 than the Borg. I haven't watched an episode with them in for a while (though I want to!) but I would assume since Voyager managed to make those nanites or whatever they were that allowed the Borg to assimilate them, and I think they invented those special torpedoes, that the Borg lack something when fighting them. Either that or they concentrated on assimilating more than fighting.
I play STO. I didn't used to much but I have a better computer now so I've gotten back into it.
holy fuck lmao.
seven of nine is making all of these theories about the maquis and the federation using this catapult thing and the caretaker. she's causing all sorts of problems, this is hilarious
