You should watch II. II and First Contact are the best of them.

I've seen everything except the 1972 animated series. I would agree that wrath of khan and first contact are some of the best movies.

Since we're discussing series in here, how about that enterprise theme song. Awful. A few years ago I made this to demonstrate how nearly any song is better than the official one.

I'll always give them a pass for it thanks to the In a Mirror Darkley OP

The Enterprise theme song is why I never watched the show. When I first heard that theme and saw it was for a show called "Enterprise" on a second-rate TV channel I thought it was a sci-fi show ripping off Star Trek, not an actual Star Trek show.

Also not saying the new movies are the same by the way just that they are what TOS would have evolved into naturally given the same amount of time it's taken for them to evolve into what they are now, speed. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Or at the very least, not a bastardization.

Also these're movies, not TV shows. A TV version of STar Trek would probably be like one of hte standard dramas. You know, the transgender Captain crying on the gay islamic First Officer's shoulder and characters so deep you'll asphyxiate. And everything else a series of bakc and forth comedy and commentary on the latest flavor of ice cream.

That's not much different from TOS or TNG in all reality. But it's different from movies which tend to be faster and vapid. You won't see any scenes like hte flute in TNG which Picard sometimes used. That was a reference to "Inner Light". You don't see that in movies because the general movie going audience won't get it. Canon is less important.

TV can get away with things. Those're hte things which made STar Trek famous! A STar Trek that's famous as a movie is not the same kind of Star Trek. It's a brand of Star Trek, but it shouldn't it should be mistaken as the same thing.

TNG's "monster of the week" gimmick was actually really good, and if not monsters there was some good character development episodes.

Love me some Star Trek. Also a fan of DS9 but I feel like I have to watch 2-3 episodes in a sitting because of the continuing storyline. Quark vs Odo scenes probably topped it for me, some funny shit [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Never liked Janeway (that voice), or Neelix (ugh), or Tuvok (so vulcan he didnt really add anything), or Chakotay (too bland). If not for the Doctor I think the series would have been axed.
