I liked First Contact even though it had holodeck shennanigans and time travel, two things I usually can't stand
Goddamn time travel
Maybe this isn't the place for it but goddamn I hate the holodeck and what it says about everyone in Star Trek.
Here is a room in which you can have anything you desire and cap'n picard and the other soulless boring cool kids of the enterprise spend all day frolicking around playing Robin fucking Hood! You can have respect for the classics that is fine but goddamn space people you can have anything!
It stretches my suspension of disbelief past the breaking point.

So what would you do? And that's a serious question because if I had a holodeck you can bet your ass I'd hang out at Helm's Deep and nobody could stop me and I wouldn't care who knew.

FFXIV has literally nothing going for it besides it's pretty graphics
as was mentioned the midichlorians thing is the ideal example
like oooh isn't the force cool it's all mystical and shit some people have an affinity for it, others don't, it is mysterious and powerful-
wait what it's caused by microorganisms in the blood
what
that doesn't even make sense within the context of the hyperspace laser sword turbolaser world
Whenever someone fights a jedi in any star-wars thing I'm hoping the jedi gets their ass kicked. Inventive, quick-thinking and pragmatic people over dumb space wizards any day of the week imo.
I hope the empire comes back competent and burns down the jedi temple again.
I've got to admit that I didn't watch Enterprise at all. I just know that one you mentioned because it was in the Borg dvd pack that I got because it had all of the good Borg episodes too.
I could never get into DS9 or Enterprise.
Should I try to remedy this?
DS9? A million times yes.
Enterprise? Eh, it's touch and go. It's not bad, really but it's not overly good either.
DS9 is the best of the series, despite it dragging on the first few seasons. The last few years with the Dominion Wars are some of the best written tv shows ever. I highly suggest you watch it from season 1, but keep it in the back of your head that it takes a year or two to flesh out characters and story lines, and sweet jebus did they do a good job of making everything work out well.
Enterprise isn't as awful as people make it out to be. I honestly think if they hadn't had such teeth-clenchingly saccharine opening credits it would've been more successful.
Funny thing, enterprise started to get really interesting at the end, and the latter episodes (minus the last one with troy and riker, which was abysmal as fuck) were pretty cool. I particularly liked.. this one, and this one, IIRC, though I don't remember WHY I liked the wild west one...
And I'm glad the new Star Trek movie was good, I was really going to stop watching anything related to Star Trek after how much Nemesis sucked ass, which is pretty sad considering I loved it since I was a little kid
Enterprise did indeed get much, much better when the different producer took over and ended that whole stupid Xindi temporal cold war thing.
I still maintain the best teaser (ie - the part before the theme song and credits) is
the episode where the Xindi make it to Earth and destroy it.
My stomach literally sunk and my jaw just dropped.
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.
Come on, O'Brien was a great character.
Actually yes. O'Brien was fantastic. His whole friendship with Bashir became so enjoyable to watch over the years.
Indeed. DS9 was so. so. good in that regard. As it was said, there were so many good support characters, most shows didn't even have a main cast that interesting.
On a related note, was I the only one who found it funny that bashir was acted pretty badly at the beginning, and later you find out he's actually (major spoiler)
REALLY only acting it, since he is not what everyone thinks he is?
his and dukats dialog is always fantastic
You're thinking Garak.
No he's not. It's a fake!

In Enterprise the Enterprise gets dive-bombed by Stukas with fucking space torpedo world war II era fighter-bomber bombs because space aliens have infiltrated the nazis.
That is something you just don't get in star trek enough.

Later, she became captain of the famous star ship USS Voyager after only weeks of training. Demonstrating her undeniably womanly driving skills, she stranded the ship and entire crew in the Delta Quadrant

yeah after seven-of-nine borg are total pussies
it's nice to remember the good old days

I bet CCP could make a fucking amazing star trek mmo
but I'd never play it because battles would take a week
true or false
Shoe: true. Also there is apparently no endgame content
True to the max
And I fucking loved FFXI. Loved loved loved. And then FFXIV came along and kicked me right in the nuts.
So what would you do? And that's a serious question because if I had a holodeck you can bet your ass I'd hang out at Helm's Deep and nobody could stop me and I wouldn't care who knew.
FFXIV has a ton of annoying stuff and not much underneath it.
I wonder if it'll end up like some weird asheron's call situation, where the followup dies and the original lives forever
at the same time
Nothing
the other 1%: violent rampages
14 seems like one big obstacle with no fun at the end

And if they would do that I wouldn't be pulled out of the show by the jarring image of people choosing to play Robin Hood all day.
The rest of the game was complete ass.

We never saw her die the 2nd time. She was captured by Romulans and was killed trying to escape.
edit: When I said second time, I was refering to the episode 'Yesterday's Enterprise'. which I believe I may have the details wrong on...
but B5 was better
No he's not. It's a fake!

Do you have faith of the heart, SeñorAmor??
That is something you just don't get in star trek enough.
I... no.
