Kirk couldn't act. So Picard for the win.

There is a certain charm to Kirk's overacting and the entire original series. It is so idealistic that I can look past the cheesiness.

I watched it first time around and have never had an urge to do so again.

I think you mean Shatner couldn't act. Kirk I would happily have slept with, Shatner not, go figure.

I don't have to watch Shatner, so it's Kirk that I found lame and more than a little absurd.

There is no equal to Jean-Luc Picard/Patrick Stewart. Saying otherwise is pure heresy!!

Benjamin Sisko was better than both of them combined.

If you carry on trashing Kirk like that I'll post the Worst Fight Scene Ever, then you'll be sorry.

I like all the series as only a geek of the first water can. Sisko is by far my favorite Captain.

I'll need to re-watch DS9. I haven't watched it since it last aired.....what, 10-15 yrs or so ago?

Supernaut

19th January 2012, 01:11 AM

I do remember the Dominion episodes! They were awesome!!

oblivion

19th January 2012, 01:13 AM

I've watched the series through on DVD about 3 times, and watched random episodes fairly frequently.

While I was on vacation, I watched Little Green Men last week. Priceless! I think DS9 had more stand-alone story arcs that could stand on their own outside the series than any of the others did.

Gawdzilla

19th January 2012, 01:15 AM

That's the one with the clowns, right?

Supernaut

19th January 2012, 01:20 AM

I loved that episode! Quark is one of my favorite characters!

Ultimately I think Voyager suffered the worst......it was sometimes just downright terrible to watch. Even though I liked the last season finale.....it was horribly predictable and not, imo, the best option to bring the crew home....the writers could have been a bit more creative.

Wrong. Her cameo was the only good thing about Nemesis.

Okay, I can't do this. Kirk & Picard both dwarf her.

Between Kirk and Picard, I just can't choose. But in Generations when the two team up... together they were greater than the sum of their parts. :911:

There exists a home movie depicting me at age 3 or 4 or something in that ballpark standing in front of the TV during the intro to TNG yelling "WHOOOSH" in sync with the Enterprise flybys.

TNG died when Reg Berkley was used to justify Troi's existence.

Like 80% of Starship crew he used the holodeck to live out the fantasy of inseminating Ensign's Roe.

But Troi cured him like a Ballymena homosexual at a big Belfast city anti-anus fling.

If I recall correctly, "alt.ensign.wesley.die.die.die" was sort of a spinoff of "alt.french.captain.borg.borg.borg", which was a comment on "alt.swedish.chef.bork.bork.bork", where that whole trend started.

And then there was "alt.adjective.noun.verb.verb.verb": a sort of meta-comment on the whole trend -- a group where every line of every post was supposed to follow that format.

Someone posted the Lord's Prayer there. Kinda painful to read.

You never saw Picard fighting over a lady, you did however see ladies fighting over Picard, however....Kirk....does....have.....a certain.....je....ne....sais quoi. And the Shatnor was on Columbo and never had a silly verbal slap fight with James Corden.

Conclusion :

Picard > Kirk
Shatner > Stewart

Kirk could have been replaced with a dildo in that movie.
If Picard had had any kind of weapon he would not have needed Kirk's help.

Long ago (pre web*) I posted a book signing schedule for George Takei on usenet. It seems I was the only friend-of-a-friend of his who was on the 'net. So lots of people momentarily thought I was working for him in some sort of official publicist capacity, until I told them otherwise. I had never even met him at that point.

Our mutual friend (also an actor) was "killed" by him in a non-Trek-related TV drama in the '90s.

And that's one of my irrelevant vaguely Trek-related anecdotes.
