treeduck Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 I watched it as a kid in the early 70s and almost every repeat run since, TOS that is, it never gets old... I'll grade them... TOS - A+ TNG - B DSN - C- VOY - F ENT - D Reb - B+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably, but that's really because there's nothing good on TV when I get home from school. Star Trek is my 45 minute/weekday escape. Since my family is actually composed of trekkies and former trekkies, I've actually bought/gotten as gifts since 2009 most of the series on DVD through box sets sitting in their basements I'm only missing ToS and Enterprise on DVD to complete my collection. Tankfully there are websites all over the internet like startrek.com that show full episodes online for free for the ones I'm missing.

And I still haven't gotten around to getting that Garak book! *is slow* I guess it slipped my mind because I'm on a massive Farscape kick. Yeah, that's my excuse... I actually got into Star Trek about three-four years ago. I was deathly (practically) ill and sick home for a week. My dad, knowing I had loved TWOK (the first 'Trek movie I saw), got me TSFS and I ended up watching it five times in three days.. maybe more. From there out, it was like: "MOOOAR, MOAR STAR TREK ALGKRSAL;K'A" and I raided the interwebs for episodes. Took me a while to get into ENT but once it got into the third season I thought it was the greatest thing since sliced bread. I loved the Xindi to death. My mom would always hear it from the table (I watched after school) and she'd comment about the "bug people" (Xindi-Reptillians haha). Then I got into TNG, DS9, and VOY (kinda) in that order. But to be honest I probably wouldn't have stuck with ENT if not for the characters of Soval and Shran (JEFFREY COMBS ♥). And that Duras guy. He was pretty cool. And of course ROMULANS. Seeing the Romulan War play out on the small screen would've been so great. Not to mention Section 31 conspiracy oh my gosh. |D Oh, and for the record I don't have that much Star Trek stuff. I have two t-shirts, way too many posters, some Star Trek artwork done by me and others, a couple ornaments, and a figure of Odo staring at me from across my desk. :3 Oh and way too many books. xD But those don't quite count.

I find he's the most interesting character on the show next to phlox. He plays his role really well and the episodes he appears in tend to be some of the better ones.

Rushman14 Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 yay looks like they are gonna remaster TNG from The Digital Bits: As some of you may be aware, a few months ago Netflix signed a non-exclusive deal with CBS allowing them to digitally stream the entire Star Trek library to their customers, along with popular ancillary titles like MacGyver. Well, that arrangement definitely tripped our sensors. Not only is that financial incentive for TNG Remastered to move forward, but the fact that J.J. Abrams' big-screen Trek sequel is likely to start shooting in September (for theatrical release next year) provides a sufficient marketing/cross-promotional incentive too. So after several months of looking into this, our industry sources have finally begun hinting that TNG Remastered IS moving forward and that Netflix (and possibly Paramount's Epix cable channel, which has a strong relationship with the streaming service) may be the first place you'll finally see it - in HD - starting sometime in the fall. Meanwhile, SD TNG episodes will begin appearing on Netflix in July. Trek Movie posted this a month ago: "Netflix confirmed they will be streaming every episode of every season for all five live-action Star Trek series: the original Star Trek, Star Trek: The Next Generation, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Star Trek: Voyager, and Star Trek: Enterprise. TOS, TNG, Voyager and Enterprise will all become available on July 1st. DS9 will launch on October 1st. TOS and Enterprise will be available in HD." While Deep Space Nine and Voyager are unlikely to generate the kind of revenue to justify a Remastered redo effort (and Enterprise is already available in HD), we believe a high-definition film scan of The Next Generation is very likely in the cards for the entire series run, along with the requisite digitally-upgraded effects. Of course, in addition to syndication and streaming, the end result of all this might be a Next Generation: Remastered Blu-ray release down the line. So if all goes well, you could be spinning Picard and Data on disc in glorious HD by this time next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USB Connector Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 That's great! Hopefully they won't use cardboard for the packing of TNG remastered. That full series box set of TNG is so poorly made it's not even funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

burgeranacoke Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 The digital bits post was interesting, I really did not think that TNG was filmed, I always assumed it was taped. Good to hear although I think I have seen every episode enough times in my life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's right, I watched them JUST FOR JEFFREY COMBS. He didn't say a word. He just stood there with a scalpel at various intervals and looked freakin' creepy.

Vorta. Made my day when I picked up Rising Son (DS9 novel) and saw a new Weyoun. And he came back in Olympus Descending. As far as I'm concerned the Dominion could have done without the Founders, the Jem'Hadar, and all the other Vorta, but it had to have Weyoun. He's just too adorable/creepy to keep away forever. And DOCTOR KEVIN BURKHOFF. I loved The 4400 before I knew anything at all about Star Trek, if you can believe that. Of course I had the biggest crush in the universe on Shawn Farrell (played by Patrick Flueger).. and was subsequently crushed when the series got canceled following the Writer's Strike. :C But of course David Mack and Greg Cox (two Star Trek novelists! and good ones!) stepped in and wrote a few "4400" novels, which I need to locate and read. |: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
