Every star trek since the original is crap.
Picard was played by the finest actor of the bunch; Janeway’s chaneling of Kate Hepburn I rather did find appealing; but the BEST captain was (of course) Kirk.
The interaction between the original cast was unmatched by the later series.
One can never have enough Star Trek. The new Star Trek movie “reboots” have done a remarkably good job with the franchise, as have the actors who have done a really good job “chanelling” the original characters (Kirk and Dr McCoy in particular - I don’t think the new Spock does as well)...
But I enjoy them anyway.
Why do I get the feeling you’ve never actually watched any other series?
A purist! I like them ALL (except Enterprise). Original, Next Gen, Deep Space Nine, Voyager.
I won’t watch anything with Scot Spatula in it. He has a fascination with wearing dresses. The guy creeps me out.
Agree. And it’s stupid to take a human and put some plastic on their head or face and call them an alien.
“Klingon” culture is just Shogun-era Japan.
With Kirk, when it came to aliens, if it was female, seduce it, if male, fight it.
True!
Mostly crap. There were a few gems, but mostly crap.
I've been introducing my children to the original series. I've been noticing a lot of stuff in the original series that I don't like and hadn't previously noticed, but it's still worlds better than the later dreck that was produced under the "Star Trek" franchise.
