Star Trek TV series(es) - general discussion of the franchise

* I've recently discovered that Babylon 5 is on IMDB TV so I've been re-watching that in preference to DS9 some of the time.
Me too. Just started season 3. The budget appears to go up each season though I watched a Season 4 episode a couple of years ago and it looked pretty shabby.
 
Did Dawson miss her cue?

I assume she's just developed another of her transwarp technologies and as a self-loather doesn't want to congratulate herself. I'm guessing late S2 or S3 as the Doctor is able to be on the bridge, Janeway still has a military hairdo and Jennifer Lien isn't in the county jail.

I'm pretty sure it's the episode where the Q are fighting each other causing supernova all over the place.
 
I watched the first episode with the Borg the other day, featuring Q. The Borg are definitely a hostile force to be reckoned with, infact they seem to be unstoppable.

Q has alot to answer for as it was his fault that the Enterprise encountered them - and now they have info about the Enterprise !
wait til you watch ' Best of both worlds ' parts 1 & 2 , season 2 ( or 3 ) finale I think.
 
After nearly 30 years and numerous attempts to watch DS9 I've finally made it past season 1! I'd run out of things to watch so thought I'd give it a go. Season 1 was still tough going - none of the characters really interested me and Sisko is just plain irritating. Season 2 got a little better and I enjoyed some of the story lines. I'm on season 3 now and, to my mind, it's still a bit patchy but I'm more invested in the characters and where the story is going than I've ever been before.

I hope my perseverance pays off as I'm looking forward to seeing why other people have said it's so good. At the moment, it's still only something to watch if I've got nothing better to do *.

Yeah i never really got on with DS9 either. Always preferred Voyager (may not be a popular opinion on here!) and next gen.

Maybe i'll try it again some time.
 
TNG, DS9 and Voyager didn't hit their stride till season 3 and they are a bit of a slog till then. Voyager probably slightly less so, but that show vastly improved when they swapped Kes for Seven of Nine.

DS9 was my favourite. Despite Sisko probably being my least favourite captain, it had my favourite crew, Kira and Dax being the first female lead characters who weren't just like eye candy. I also liked how it developed more of a story arch and the way it dealt with politics and religion.
 
I don't know if it's just me but there was something that bothered me abit about one of the first TNG episodes. There was an entire alien race all played by black people that had problems with their culture regarding their treatment of women. Seemed a bit problematic to me. It's still a good series though don't get me wrong.
 
if you are making remarks about episode you watching in broadcast date :D


that episode was so bad but was it not before tash died?

Not just you. It seems to be commonly considered both a crap episode and racist to boot.

It's called Code of Honor the 4th episode of S1, Denise Crosby (Tasha Yar) left at the end of Season 1. Code of Honor is rated as down there with Spocks Brain for being crap.
Fun Fact: the director of Code of Honor Russ Mayberry was fired by Gene Roddenberry during the making of it for racist behaviour towards the actors.
