I would have avoided time travel! Just had a low key episode, with all the crew on the bridge headin off for a new adventure. Nice and small and sentimental.

The one from Star Trek 5 was best - good muscle structure, isnt that what Chekov said?! I think she would eat him alive though.

Spock! He was just so much smarter, slicker, slimmer!!!! Ha ha ha. Nah, he was just an all round more intriguing character.

Well, thed estruction of The Enterprise, reappearance of Kirk, sight of the Enterprise B, phasing in of new uniforms all added to the visual pleasure...

Odo must inherently have an inclination towards one side over the other - like a fine tipping of the scales left or right. Maybe it just wants to be a he as that is how it feels more comfortable. Maybe being raised a he made Odo become a he and the female shapeshifter onlt became 'female' in order to woo 'him' into joining the link to what would be acceptable practise to him... :/

Holographic Technology was introduced in TNG till Voyager the present

 

Holographic Tech has a long way to go to achieve the Virtual  realism of TNG Enviroments.

 

      :P    :lol:  :P

But sure, we've seen it be done???

I preferred the 're-dressed pig' targ from TNg in the frist series. That was just funny. Reminded me of the Golden Girls a bit....

Im getting fed up with prequals to be honest. Batman Begins, Star Wars I-III, Enterprise, Red Gragon, etc etc. There's an endless future ahead to build on...

My favourite thing was always the relaxed luxurious feel to the Enterprise, coupled with the warm relationship of the characters and the bright vibrant clean feel.

She was in the observation louge in Space Dock at the start of Star Trek 3 The Search for Spock - it looks sorta like a bar. And she had this crazy ginger permed hairdo going on!

Im currently watching seasons 3 and 4 simultaneously (i didnt have cable last year but have it this year so am watching 3 on ordinary tv and 4 on cable). Im enjoying season 4 very much. It's the best so far i think. Im not a big fan of season 1 but it has its high points - especially the Andorians. I love those guys.

If Voyager is anything to go by, we could all ive forever as Holograms. If you remember that episode with the Vidiian scientist, they transfered her consciousness into a holographic body. Now, arm that with mobile emitter technology and hey presto. My mind walking around in any body i feel like.

I was just surprised that there was not even a mention of a ship ever going back to check on Opaka on the planet.  I understand that she cannot leave but I would think that at least now and then they would check up on her or deliver supplies, and then a mention of the Kai in a meeting or something on the station,

I agree. I mean, it's not like she died or anything. She just ended up stranded on that planet. And i'm sure that had they given it enough research there would have been a way to get her back to civilisation! They just gave up.

What I dont get is how Earth will lead other races to the formation of The Federation but Star Fleet, an essentially Human organisation, will be the military force behind that. And Federation Star Ships will look like Human vessels. What about the advanced technologies of the Vulcans and the Andorians? I mean, look at the mighty Andorian ships. If Andoria is part of the new Federation along with Humans and Vulcans then how come we dont see hybrid ships emerge? Why do they end up looking like more advanced Enterprise designs?

Where are the Andorians during TNG/DS9/VOY? I mean, if there really was an advanced Federation alliance we only seem to see one or two here and there over the decades, with hundreds of Humans and several Vulcans popping up? I feel that Andoria hs been left out of the whole Star Trek equation too much, and the Earth centric attitude of the universe is very non reflective of this galaxial society that is trying to come across.

Even during the movie era we see 'Vulcan' ships, which are opposed to Star Fleet ships (ie, Human ships). Spock was the first Vulcan in Star Fleet but still i dont understand why if this is the military wing of the Federation which includes Vulcan, why there arent more Vulcans in a more technologically integrated fleet of vessels. For all intense and purposes we are left with the Humans running the military for this new Federation and i dont believe that this would be allowed to happen after having seen the pride and sense of distrust evident in the mighty Vulcan and Andorian fleets.

I just HAD to dig this one out and say. Told you so!

And PS, I know it's not strictly cannon, but it's pretty close to being had a couple of screen shots made it on screen....

You would have to be a very patient spouse of a Vulcan. I mean, once every 7 years or whatever. Can u imagine that?

While watching recent Enterprise Episodes I was amazed at the level of graphics and detail spoured into episodes; the greater sense of realism when it came to presenting alien worlds, and the seriousness of the drama. However, the ratings are significantly lower than for TNG over 15 years ago when graphics were more wobbly and planets more card board looking. The current generation have been spoiled with CGI effects and huge Holywood budget movies. There is a tendency for them to drift into 'reality' viewing and home make over shows. The culture is changing and Star Trek and the genre it represents is just fading out. The light just cant keep burning forever, and it is the older generation who cling to the franchise with the attachments to the wonder and newety of the first years of TNG. Star Trek needs a break to go and sort itself out, and to wait until the current fads have ended and the public are once again ready to embrace such a show. I myself look forward more to Desperate Housewives now, than I do for Star Trek. I've just moved on. At the end of the day, with studios, it all comes down to numbers...

It has alway annoyed me that the Federation is made up of all these different worlds which probably have the same population of earth and yet the crews of star fleet vessels always just have one or two and loads of humans/human-alien hybrids. This unknown species member is at the head of the UFP. it's just bizarre. I thought the white haired dude was kinda cool though.

I think that it is a terrible way to end the show. Barman and co have consistently dilluted their 'All singing/all dancing new cool Trek' down to a series that relies heavily on the TOS and now the TNG crew. The cast and crew of Enterprise, it feels, are just being side lined as a little diversion away from 'real' Trek for a few years and it seems like now they are saying - 'well that was a fun little diversion but here we go back to the 'real' Trek universe, as represented by Riker and Deanna... Sigh. A sad end to the great show.

But hey kids... it's a long road!!!

What extra stuff is on it?

Voyuager became a disco ship whereby you could go and do mad things

As much as any hologram does... duh.

Speaking as someone who is gay i would say that that episode tackled the question of whether or not you loved someone for WHO they are as opposed to WHAT they are very well. That episode of DS9 that tackled the gay kiss was very welcome. The fact that Crusher could not love Oden in a different body hi lighted the fact that TNG wasnt ready to embrace such things to make sure that it's ratings remained high

Wow, old thread still wizzing about - cool. Time travel is still very very confusing. Minority Report puts a great spin on it as well. I love that movie.
