I’m feeling personally attacked here! I come down on the Boimler side here I think, and I’d hate to argue with Beckett but she’s wrong.

All Star Treks are awesome in their own way and there all my Favourite. I can’t and I won’t be made to pick a series.

Those Old Scientists era is where it all starts and nobody tackles those great social issues like they did.

The Animated Series is so forking batshirt crazy and fun. And they brought us my bois, the Kizinti!

The original cast movies brought Trek back from the repeats. Yes even numbers are better but five got me to ask “Why does god need a starship”

The Next Generation really kicked it in to high gear and expanded the universe.

DS9 - I wouldn’t recommend any long story format higher.

Voyager - if I didn’t love Voyager Janeway would kick my ass.

The TNG movies had some kick ass action and amazing space battles.

Enterprise really explored the beginnings and had a lot of fun filling in the niches and contradictions.

I could keep going on and on but it’s late and I’ll leave you with how I alway feel about Trek series. My favourite one is one that I’m watching right now

I don’t if the story is true but I heard in the finale day before she made her decision she interviewed both Josh Shapiro and Tim, and when she did Josh want to know what the divisions of responsibilities were going to be and what he would be able to take charge of. And Tim walked in and opened with “So what do you want me to do?” and I think that says everything I need to know about him.

Bawk! Bawk bawk! Bawk!

It was less about the studio meddling and a bit more about the people who were involved weren’t in awe of George. His, at the time, wife was the editor on the first movie and she made a lot of changes in the editing bay to improve what was a bit of a mess they say. And don’t discount the amount of rewrites done on the fly by the cast. Carrie was taking everyone scripts and punching them a lot and she went on to become one of best punch up writers in Hollywood. Even Harrison Ford, a notoriously shy and conflict avoidant guy, was improvising his lines because he knew that Han wouldn’t say “I love you, too” even facing being frozen in Carbonite.

Thanks that’s the way. I’ll keep this on file

You know that the perfect doesn’t have to be the enemy of good right? Both of you are right.

I don’t remember where I was on 9/11 but I was drinking a lot back then so that doesn’t say much.

Honestly the fact we have enough of these to be able to make distinctions is even more depressing.
