House really spiraled into the shitter, I don't see why you'd want another show like that.

The pilot is the best episode of House, other than the atrocious color correction that they dropped by the second episode. The second best episode is Three Stories or whichever it is toward the end of season one. And I guess season 3 of House in general is okay-ish. But everything season four on is just stale repetition of the formula spiced up with stupid melodrama.

But then I hate all formulaic procedurals, and yet they tend to be massively popular, I guess, so who knows.

Pffft.

Sisko: Couple weeks from now, you're gonna be on some starship somewhere with 11 or 12 uniforms looking to you for everything. And some of them are gonna be good ensigns. Some of them are gonna be young and stupid. A few are gonna be pieces of poo poo. But all of them will take their cue from you. You show loyalty, they learn loyalty. You show them it's about the work, it'll be about the work. You show them some other kinda game, then that's the game they'll play. I came on in the Livingston, and there was a piece-of-poo poo lieutenant hoping to be a captain, piece-of-poo poo sergeants hoping to be lieutenants. Pretty soon we had piece-of-poo poo crewmen trying to figure the job for themselves. And some of what happens then is hard as hell to live down. Comes a day you're gonna have to decide whether it's about you or about the work.

It's kinda lame to rehash the end of Wrath of Khan when the only leg it has to stand on is "the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few". In Wrath of Khan, Spock's death tied together with all the other themes being used in the movie.

I'm just saying it's terribly lazy, you keep saying that "If Trek is going to come back in any meaningful way, it's going to have to be bold and different to fit today's paradigms." then, why did they reuse an old script? Why did they reuse the same death sequence? It's poor lazy writing and if Trek needs to be "bold and different" maybe they should have come up with a new fresh idea rather then using a crutch of relying on an old script?

I'm still convinced if threy had just let Kirk die in the end of into darkness, the boldness of it would have made up for all of the stupid poo poo that came before it, because at least it would mean the show had ONE daring move up its sleeve.

Of course that'd mean the only comeback would be either "The search for kirk" which uh, yeah that'd be bonkers. Or JJ TNG, which I'm not sure if I could cope with at all. Though they could probably just drop stewart into the role because that old motherfucker apparently is immune from ageing, was probably born a balding middle age guy and will die at the age of 200 still middle age.

If you think that, along the way, you're not going to fail... you're blind.

There's no one I've ever met, no matter how successful they are, who hasn't said they had their failures along the way.

C and S were spotted in the thoroughfare on deck 3, C's human emotions getting the better of her while S is appropriately stoic and unfeeling. Is there subspace turbulence in their relationship's warp field?

K seen leaving R's quarters after yet another 'transporter malfunction'. B grows suspicious, as maintenance logs do not show signs of magnetic contamination which could explain such behaviour.

Voyager pilot is makin' me angry. I guess Janeway was too concerned with getting her one crew member back that all first contact/prime directive protocols are neglected with what, three four new races? Their interactions with the Kazon were just plain dumb. Janeway is exasperated when the Kazon start firing on Voyager even though she and her crew basically taunted the Kazon with the water. Naturally they'd want to chase them down for the replicator technology. Ugh. Also, Kes's haircut is stupid. I'm going to hate Voyager, aren't I? :saddowns:

The worst part of Voyager is having friends who know you as "The Star Trek Fan" and every time you see them they want to talk about a Voyager episode they saw recently which they ~LOVED~.

On one hand, you want to tell them Voyager is pretty awful and want to go into detail why, but on the other you don't want to sound like a spergy rear end in a top hat and discourage them from talking to you about Trek.

Freaking Voyager.

7 seasons of 20-odd episodes each and the good (by Voyager standards) episodes can be counted on one hand. It's really not worth it.
