    The Americans joke that British TV shows have very few episodes. It is their staple joke. Lots of their sitcoms use it.

    (Their humour is clearly backward, you see)

    (Also they can't read what you write if you put it in brackets, it's true)

    I see!

    (Americans smell, hehe)

    Oh god those two were so bad

    I haven't even watched either of them but from summaries alone... so bad

    Another good voyager episode is the one where Chakotay and Harry Kim make it back to Earth but Voyager crashes on an ice planet and they go back to change history.

    I had to Watch Enemy Mine as my first Sci Fi movie ever.

    Actually... I've never seen 2001.

    Is that on bluray yet?

    To be fair some episodes of TNG were better than others.

    Example, the first two episodes were followed shortly by one involving SPACE BLACK PEOPLE, who kidnap Tasha Yar.

    Seriously.

    It was something like they developed a shuttle that could reach Warp 10, which was only theoretical up to that point and goes so fast it occupies everywhere in space simultaneously.

    Paris was effected by it, started going nuts, kidnapped Janeway on the shuttle, they both disappeared for a while and were discovered on a planet where they had "evolved" into lizards and got bizay. They said that this was the natural course of where human evolution would end up.

    And the only thing I could think was evolution doesn't fucking work that way.

    that episode even had some nice ideas, which made it even worse! they could've played this all out much better, have paris go crazy from all the knowledge (and kill himself, I hated that guy)
    but they chose
    the worst
    way possible
    someone call olivia dunham, we need a parallel universe

    yeah, that sucked so much

    The thing is that Spock and McCoy were both likable characters.

    Data was such a great character and Polanski was just some replacement bitch.

    Data should have skull fucked her and got her to shut up.

    If you think TOS is good you were probably alive when it aired, and when the message it was trying to push was relevant.

    There are a couple episodes of TOS that still stand as good today but a vast majority of it is really bad.

    Now TOS movies are a different story -they are pretty different from the show - and they are mostly good.

    Ron we were kids when we started watching TNG.

    It is probably standing on nostalgia for us.

    I grew up watching both. TNG when new episodes came on (and forever after with reruns), and my dad had tapes of all the TOS episodes.

    I still love TOS and I was born in 1990.

    Yeah, Data was a great character and probably consistently one of the most likable ones. Plus the fact that he was not only merely not a human, but the only one of his kind in the whole universe (almost). So it's like some sort of super-racism

    Why oh why did they have such awful Irish stereotypes on the show? The Irish colonists on Next Gen who set fire to the Enterprise trying to cook their dinner was bad enough, but then years later Voyager decides to have an entire episode set in the holodeck in a godawful Irish village. I cringed so much I got muscle spasms.

    Well, I didn't see reruns of TOS because they played that on Sci Fi channel that I didn't get until I was like 16 at which point I enjoyed me some Lost in Space.

    BTW the Jupiter 2 launched on my birthday. October 18th.

    tos has goood stuff, and very many pretty cheesy episodes
    but some are just glorious, sometimes not only despite, but because of their cheesy charm.
    Let That Be Your Last Battlefield
    for example. The silliness of the makeup actually REALLY drives the point home it's trying to make.

    I also saw the episode where Data dates some nameless ship officer and she breaks up with him at the end and it's like AWWW poor data, and then he has spot and you get the idea he isn't completely devoid of desire or emotion.

    Actually yes. O'Brien was fantastic. His whole friendship with Bashir became so enjoyable to watch over the years.
