  • Has anyone else been watching the Next Generation marathon on TNN? I wasn't able to watch it in the beginning of the week, but in less than a day, I've seen at least five full episodes, and snippets of others.

  • Your favorite band sucks, and you have terrible taste in movies.

There are so many episodes I'd like to see again. The funny thing is, of all the episodes I've seen on the marathon, there is only one I had not yet seen.

Too bad it ends today. I love just turning on the tv knowing it'll be Star Trek.</div>

<div style='font: 11pt arial; text-align: left; '>TNG is the only good Star Trek. Everyone else sweats Picard's nuts. No one can take Picard! Not the black dude! Not the slut! Not fucking mannerized-means-can't-act Shatner! And ESPECIALLY not that asshole from Quantum fucking Leap!</div>

<div style='font: 11pt Dominion; text-align: left; '>Picard was great.. yes. He was a near perfect captain, except he didn't share in the risk of adventure with going on away teams like the rest.

As for Sisko.. Sisko was a DAMN good captain! DS9 just got real bad after a while.. I stopped watching it too. but the last season, with the war and shit.. that was swweet.

Voyager.. was nice, had it's own cons and pros.. different kind of Star Trek show, and some fans just didn't like it (probably cause they were expecting another TNG and didn't get it)

And you give my boy Bakula a chance.. none of this 'I'm a biggoted ignorant prick' talk.. he was Great in Quantum Leap to begin with. You know any other actor who had to play a different character every damn episode? And it wasn't a short one.. no, we're talking hour episodes, and I'd say about 3-5 seasons.. that takes talent folks. I think he can make it as a ST captain.. I like him so far. Give the man a chance</div>
