lerxt1990 Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 TNG - best characters (which is to say actors and writing), which is what it all comes down to in a show. Best guest star? Q. "Oh hi Worf, eat any good books lately?" "I'm fully functional" Classic show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treeduck Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 The original series easily; it had better characters, great chemistry between the characters better stories (and no wonder with the high calibur of writers working on the series such as Harlan Ellison, Robert Bloch (Psycho author),Theordore Sturgeon, DC Fontana, Richard Mathieson (I am Legend, The Incedible Shrinking Man), Gene L Coon among others,it had more elements of action and adventure and less political posturing as well as originality and humour. It was more fun to watch than TNG which was stiff and starchy and the stories suffered the spectre of political correctness... Was any woman offended by the famous split infinitive "to boldly go where no man had gone before" surely not but it was changed to no one...the scene was set... TNG was obviously based closely on the original, Data was obviously a Spock-like character but they needed Riker as 1st officer as well and The Klingon to play "the token crew alien", so it took three characters to replace Spock, Picard was the new Kirk, the engineer was an irish Mr Scott, the empath girl was instead of a communications officer etc etc. It wasn't bad but always paled compared to the original and the holodeck just helped to lose the "in space" atmosphere that the original series created so well... DS9 was just a monster mask party with ridiculously pompous speeches by Hawk out of Spenser for Hire... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Batman Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 (edited) TNG #1 The Borg!!!!!!! Greatest villian Good writing good acting good effects OS#2 Great writing but bad acting and effects DS9#3 Took awhile to get going but had some good story arc's Enterprise #4 Good concept but took way to long to get going.

Slime Posted October 5, 2006 Author Share Posted October 5, 2006 I'll also be another voice to say that Q was the best guest villain (?) on the show. John de Lancie's acting on Q was terrific. Stewart and Lancie really knew how to make that relationship work on film. I think Q should have also shown up during Enterprise just because he is THAT good a character.

You think what you like Jack I'm just pointing out that I never liked it in the first place and neither did Guiness... ...but if you want to hate it now then I'll allow it this time...but I want you to contribute to Hollywood by buying more DVDs in the future, is that ok for you?
