I don't miss Star Trek, because I have TOS on DVD. I can have Star Trek whenever I want!
Dr. Carter is also helping me get over my sense of loss...
Oh dear god no. Star Trek will never work with that mongoloid Rick Berman in charge.
Ron Moore is absolutely correct: let the franchise lie fallow for a decade or so.
If this version of Dr. Who is all there is, then, Yes.
But do I miss Star Trek TOS, TNG, DS9, Voyager, Enterprise, The New Voyages, or all the movies?? Gee?? :-)

I haven't missed Star Trek since Deep Space Nine, the last good Star Trek show, ended. I'm more then happy with the shows they got on the air, now. Stargate SG-1, Stargate: Atlantis, Battlestar Galactica, Doctor Who, and others all blow Star Trek away, easily. Especially Voyager and Enterprise.
Nope. Not one bit. It was getting really stale.
The Long Game is a strange one. Next weeks 'Father's Day' is my personal favourite of the season.
Do I miss Trek? Nope. TNG was the last Trek series I made a point of watching. If they had done a post Star Trek 6/Pre-TNG series with Captain Sulu, that would have been cool. Another missed opportunity was divorcing Trek from the Andromeda plot. Originally it was to be a Federation Starship flung into the future where the Federation has fallen and Vulcans have gone violent.
Answer of the Day: NO. If you asked about B5 on the other hand...
I miss Battlestar Galactica, Star Trek is a bunch of socialist tripe.
Yes and no, Enterprise was starting to get good when it got cancelled.
The problem I always had with Star Trek was it's high gold to cr*p ratio. For every "City on the Edge of Forever" type episode which blew you away, you'd pay for it with a ridiculous episode about space hippies or the like. This pattern occured to a greater or lesser extent on all of the Star Trek series.
Compare this to a show like Babylon 5 which had less "great" episodes, but which was consistantly "good". (I can't think of a B5 ep which was a true stinker).
Nevertheless, the Star Trek universe has so much depth to it that I would love to see a new series in a few years.
No, not really. I watched the original series until the images were burned into my retina. The Next Generation never really matched with my schedule in college and grad school, so I only watched it occasionally. After that I kind of gave up.
Nope. BSG has filled that void for me.
I am watching Enterprise again on DVD. I'm about 1/2 way through season 2 right now. There are several episodes that seem better the 2nd time around, but far to much tripe. Last night I watched "Vanishing Point" which was an interesting one that I must have missed the 1st time around.
"The question of the day: Do you miss Star Trek???"
I'll unabashedly say, yes. I thought it was too bad that Enterprise was cancelled - I thought it had plenty of possibilties for several more seasons of shows. It had some interesting characters and plot lines. Ah, well, what can you do?
As for Dr. Who, I love the new guy. His "We're all in grave danger!! FANTASTIC!!" attitude is great. His side kick doesn't do anything for me but she'll do. Hopefully the new guy they picked up from a future Utah will add something more to the equation. All in all though, I think it's quite good. Very much in spirit with the original series.
I miss Farscape, Red Dwarf, and Firefly.
I miss Babylon 5, then I miss Deep Space Nine.
I miss BSG, but I know October is coming (slowly).
I don't miss Trek.
another question-- when will SG1 Season 9 come out on DVD?
