Do you like Star Trek?

[MrDawn]

Does anyone here like Star Trek? What was your favorite series?

 

[freakofnature]

I'm not hardcore into it but I enjoyed TNG and Voyager, as well as the re-boot movies (with Chris Pine, etc). I haven't watched any of the more recent series, though.

 

[Crys]

I don't like it but I do like Patrick Stewart.

 

[Nebulous]

I used to watch this show all the time, well one version of it. Star Trek the next generation

I used to watch random episodes of that series with my father. He'd have someone record it for him and then he'd watch them.

 

[PGen98]

Yeah, I like it. My favourite series are the ones most people don't like, lol, Enterprise and Voyager, and Discovery is damn good, too.

Have you seen Picard yet?

Yeah, not a fan, it was a bit...odd to me

You've made me curious. How so?

Hard to explain, it just was so all over the place I couldn't get into it. Start with one plot, shift to another, bring back iconic character A to lead to iconic character B, to lead to new character C...and...plot twist, plot twist, plot twist...just didn't enjoy it. Maybe I'll try again sometime, but what I saw...meh...

 

[Dead2009]

Nope, more of a Star Wars guy myself.

I've noticed it's very fast paced, like a cartoon. It doesn't stay on one thing for very long at all. I wasn't expecting that when I started watching it.

Distractingly so, it's annoying

After the first season, I don't see how it's the same Picard. He died at the end and then they made a synthetic variant of his body and copied his mind to it's cyber brain. So, real Picard dies. Now we have clone Picard and I'm not buying that they are the same person. I swear they got this idea from Arnold Schwarzenegger's "The 6th Day". It's how they made clones in the movie. In Alien 4, Clone Ripley has the same memories as Ripley from Alien, Aliens, and Alien 3. But also acknowledges that they're not the same person.

 

[MamaFrankie]

No. That sort of thing does not appeal to me. I have seen the first movie though but only because a friend wanted to see it.

Yeah, 100% agreed, not the same Picard at all

I like the show, but this reminds me of Shinzon from Nemesis in a way.

 

[PGen98]

Yeah, essentially the same approach. Our third Picard, basically. Also similar to the Doctor on Discovery, brand new body constitutes from his old body's dna
