TNG was better. IMO if you took the 60s series and did it today it would seem too obvious and ham-handed. (Half the aliens are black on the left side and half are black on the right side? Didn't Dr. Suess already cover this fable?)

TNG had better production and scripts but it lost the edge of the original. I thought Janeway and company did better exploring exploration. Then again maybe it was just 7s speedsuit...

Here we freakin' go again with the Star Trek obsession! Everything comes back to Kirk V. Picard with you people, doesn't it?

certainley not this one....

TNG was very good in the way it explored some fundamental topics.... like what is human?

The plotting in DS9 was excellent, up there with babylon5.

Voyager? more fiction than science...in a tight spot... re-align the sensor array and move on.....


as for Enterprise.....

If only just for hidden adult humor they managed to weave into every episode.

I was shocked to find out that two of my favorite cable shows, Lucky Louie and Huff, have been canceled! They were too young to die...I sure hope Oliver Platt does another TV show soon.

I'm guessing Doodads... at least until someone posts a ST doodad.
