I've never seen Star Trek, but pretending any part of any work of fiction "doesn't count" is just sad.
Sometimes you just need to. Mainly when an author shits on his own work, or somehow a canon piece of story gets created that just totally blows.

Yeah I wasn't naming names, but...
Honestly, though, I liked the special edition of ANH better, minus the CG Jabba. Mainly what I liked was that they added in scenes where Luke talks to Biggs. I always felt like "hey, that guy's name is Biggs and Luke seems to like him and Luke mentioned a friend by that name..." but it was odd that they never had some kind of "HEY BUDDY HOW YA BEEN" conversation.

Because the nerd equivalent of going "LALALALA I CAN'T HEAR YOU" is better than admitting that your favorite fiction license has had its bad moments.
It's not so much that you declare that it doesn't count, like, to other people, as it is that you block it out of your own mind because it ruins the story.
I was never into Star Trek much at all. It was either that I found what little I saw to be boring or the fans scared me away before I could appreciate it (if there is indeed something there I would have appreciated). It's one of those things that just takes itself a bit too seriously most of the time.
I do, however, remember watching an episode of Webster when I was younger where I believe he dreamed he got to visit the Enterprise from TNG and talked to the brown guy with the forehead and I think they repaired his nintendo or something.
Oh I think the later episodes of TNG season 1 were alright. There were some good scripts, it's just the actors hadn't really found their character's "voice" or style yet.
I'm surprised you mentioned season 2, that was the writer's strike season, and the acting was generally better, though the scripts were overall, not (still, some good episodes). It was season 3-4 that was the high point of TNG IMO. Roddenberry died when... during season 3-4 some time?
I thought DS9 had potential but I could never bring myself to watch it. I was a B5 man, then. Voyager, yeah no thanks, and Enterprise.. I should rent some of those because I heard good things about it but didn't see more than 1.5 episodes..
It always burns me that they run Voyager reruns daily on Space but I can't get any decent DS9 action.
Spike shows it 2am daily.

I prefer the original over TNG, though.
I really don't think it's that bad. I kind of dig it.
You better have a really good excuse for your avatar.
Also, TNG is the best Star Trek series.

His avatar shows us how fucking lazy Tim Buckley is.
Every face is the same.
Again I cite the entire first season of TNG
The rest is solid gold though

According to TDOT, fanfiction should be accounted for. Every bit of it.
