    ENTERPRISE is coming to an end on a very hugh note I might add. I love how they brought back the DEFIANT, a ship of the same class as the original ENTERPRISE of 1968. Its great to see NCC 1701's sister ship sailing digitally :)

    So whats the next step. Where do you think the series will go next ?

    What would you like to see happen ?

    Theres always the possibility of doing a 30th C battle w the Time travelers

    I want to see more of the Dinosaurs that showed up in VOYAGER in 1 episode & bring back 7 of 9 :) Schwing

    Dear William:

    I have not watched much in the way of the post Star Trek spin offs. I absolutely love the original series. It is the ONLY TV series I have ever watched. I have never followed anything else on TV. I only have watched the Golden Trek. I have all the original Star Trek episodes. That show is a classic.

    I think I will go home, and watch another episode.

    Last weeks episode when the enterprise was trapped in the net and destroyed reminded me of an episode when the Enterprise was trapped in the Original Series. Do you remember that episode?

    This is kind-a off topic, but sort-a not.

    I enjoyed Star Trek quite a bit. Not as much as the large and vocal Star-Trek convention sort of folks, but I enjoyed watching it. I even enjoyed the Next Generation.

    However......I cannot STAND Star Wars. I never understood the attraction.

    Am I the only person on the planet that feels this way?

    Yes, of course the special effects today are so much better, We got to see the whole Tholian

    The Original Star Trek was awesome & Far ahead of its time. The Apollo landing actually occured after ST first came out

    Next Gen was awesome too, The Enterprise D was by far the best looking ship

    I liked Voyager too especially 7 of 9 ;) Rrrr

    Deep Space 9 was too slow for my taste & by the end I lost interest

    I really want to see a Carnaval on Raisa

    Has any1 seen the porn version ? Sex Trek ? There are several parts, I havent seen any yet LOL

    I think Wrath of Khan is the best ever Trek movie. The next gen movies were all crap

    I haven't watched the original Trek in a LONG time but Kirk was a great role model to me growing up, so was Hef & James Bond, maybe thats why I'm such a perv LOL

    Its funny to see how Kirk shags every alien chick in sight while Captain Archer on ENTERPRISE is such a PC stiff.

    Kirk Rules, Picard is cool too

    Kirk was THE Ladies Man. These other captains, are all stiff shirts. I like the hot gurlz 60's style. I liked Dr.Helen Noel (Marianna Hill) in Dagger of the Mind. That was sexy how she crawled on, "all fours" inside the airconditioning vents. Watch the DVD. - Don't look up her dress !!! She would look cool in a 275GTB or Miura !!!!!!!!!!!!

    Yet he never contracted any strange things with all these alien women. I guess McCoy was mixing up some 'modified' medicines behind the scenes.

    I'd like to see more possible time travel expansion. That could open up new dimensions... with the new Capt shagging every hot babe in sight :D

    I got to work in the movie business for a short time, and one of the Movies I worked on was directed by a man that use to direct "Deep Space 9" the TV series.

    He said that the Star Trek franchise had learned that you can hire a bunch of actors at scale
    and pay them nothing for 2-4 years. But then when its time to re-negotiate the contracts...

    If you have a big hit! Its cheaper to fire everyone and start a new series then to pay "Friends" type of money for actors on a Sci Fi TV show.

    I didn't watch the original Trek when it first came out but picked up on it in the early '70s TV reruns, and watched a lot of Next Gen as well, and saw original-cast and Next-Gen movies. I watched a few episodes of Voyager and Deep Space Nine but by then I had burned out on space stuff.

    In regard to Star Wars, it's just a different genre, more comic book tale than "intellectual" like Star Trek. I loved the original Star Wars and consider the first three films classics but agree with you on the the last two -- they were sorry wastes -- I can't see how the film industry can expend so much on these movies and they're still junk. I might rent the upcoming one if it gets a few good reviews.

    Over the years, I've observed that people love Star Trek and/or Star Wars, hate one or both, or are totally indifferent. Very little of "I kind of like it, watch it every now and then" middle ground.

    Blue skin, green skin, spotted skin, Rom-u-skin...Kirk would hit it.

    I honestly prefer TNG overall, but Kirk was the man.

    Avid trekkie here. It's a sad time without star trek.

    I must admit, however, that the show started declining after TNG. I think Next Generation was a brilliant combination that signalled the climax of all series. It had a superb cast, interesting characters, excellent writing and good budget.

    To me, the weakest series was Voyager. As a show it is probably is more responsible for Star Trek's demise than Enterprise. It put off a lot of viewers from the whole franchise, myself included. Only recently did I start watching Enterprise again, and I found it to be a nice improvement.

    I know a lot of people who poo-pood DS9, but I love it :D I've been watching some reruns lately, and I think the characters were rich enough to make the show great despite the static nature of it all.

    The Star Trek universe is such a great setting for sci-fi. It's a shame that, for now, it is dead. Hopefully, when this stupid reality craze is over (I hope it will be over, anyways) there will be renewed demand for intelligent genre television. And if that time comes, maybe Star Trek will be picked up again. For now, the inexplicable fascination people have with mindlessly boring, edited clips of vapid 20-to-30 somethings sitting around arguing or eating rats seems to have a chokehold on television.

    Has any1 seen the porn version ? Sex Trek ?

    Captain Picard explores new depths.

    Concellor Troy answers the back door.

    Two Klingons explore inter-racial relations with a human crew member.

    Mr. Data probes inner-space for true feeling and emotion.

    Funk Phasers blast dna across the cosmos.

    The universe is saved through depravity and low budget special effects.

    No way Voyager is far better than Deep Space 9

    Reality shows are very cheap to make, they are the Taco Bell of entertainment.

    I've met people who dont even know the Sun is a Star and have the dimmest concept of what a solar system or a galaxy is LOL
