Couldn't watch the original series sober. Couldnt watch "Enterprise" at all.

apparently the last two series of ENTERPRISE are the best. The first two were pretty bad I thought. My favourite spinoff is DS9: I liked the whole alpha/delta quadrant thing, then different alien cultures (as opposed to TOS where those cultures were locked in). I also particularly liked Major Kira. Oh yes.

How I hated VOYAGER. How I still hate it. I only really liked Kes and they killed her. Fucking Neelix can suck my balls. Tom Paris should have been captain.

TNG suffered a lot by comparison with TOS but whenever I see it now I usually enjoy the episode. I dont go out of my way to watch it though.

Not that I am a rabid fan or anything.

Live long, and prosper.

Oh, and for Steve:

Firefly is the best TV series ever made, by anyone, anywhere. And it was shitcanned by the geniuses at Fox networks after 11 eps had aired and 14 were shot. Its a "space western". The characters are wonderfully written, the cast gives it everything and are uniformly brilliant, the sets and effects are superb given the leaps in technology since then, and most importantly, the stories are real, and affecting. It ranges from very sad (Funeral) to very light and frothy (the one where Mal has to rescue Inara from the dastardly lord Atherton, and Kaylee gets the party dress) to full on action: (Serenity). You will recognise most of the cast from work they've done since, but particularly Christina Hendricks who is in MAD MEN (Joan Holloway). She is in two episodes of FIREFLY and rules. (as Mrs Reynolds particularly). Nathan Fillion who played Mal Reynolds is Richard Castle in CASTLE. He even got to wear the tight pants and brown coat in one episode which was cool.

SERENITY the film is the same cast in more of an action setting. The filme is excellent and you dont have to have seen FIREFLY to enjoy it, though it certainly helps. Totally recommended.
