:roll: I noticed there was a lot of Trekkies here and I have one thing to say.... I WOULD RATHER WATCH STARWARS THEN SOME CHEAP LOW BUDGET EPISODES WITH THE SAME OLD REPETITIVE STORYLINE!!! :twisted: :evil:

Arghhh, this just begs for a reply :o .
I like Star Wars (the original three). I don't like all Star Trek episodes ever made. But there is no such thing as "the same old repetitive storyline" in Star Trek. When Star Trek was young it was groundbreaking. Just as groundbreaking as Star Wars was when it came out. Even TNG showed us things never made before. Episodes like Time and Again even spawned a movie or two (Groundhog Day). The introduction of the Borg created a Sci Fi iconic enemy. After TNG things went downhill I agree but still there was no repetitive storyline insight. Even Enterprise has it's moments. Over 400 episodes and ten films have been made of Star Trek in total and although I would not call Star Trek "fresh" anymore it can still entertain even in Enterprise.
Star Wars has had five films in total and after the third one the series became a bland parody of itself. Where the first trilogy was a light and entertaining venture in new sci fi waters the new ones take themselves far too seriously. Watching it we are forcibly made to take all we see as word of God. No longer are we allowed to enjoy this time we spend in the cinema but we are watching a moralizing history lesson.
In short Star Trek has held in there far longer then Star Wars ever will.

I haven't seen the whole series but i like the one in wich the captain is played by Picard.The series where No. 1 was captain weren't so appealing, but still they were enjoyable.I have lost track after that one.

Ummm.. have you even SEEN Enterprise? i think you should... I myself is NOT a fan of ANY of the "old" S.T. series, but Enterprise is a High-budget production, and trust me, i'm GLUED to the screen searching for the latest episode.. right now they are trying to prevent a race of aliens to manipulate another race into destroying earth (woo.. like that never happend)... allready 7 milions where killed in a test-strike...
trust me... Search for Star Trek Enterprise, and get 1 episode... you'll like it!

Titan did you know that there are serious doubts as to wether or not a fourth season will ever be made?

Well only 4 more episodes need airing the US. Season 3 was the worst one yet in my opinion but the last episodes were getting better. From episode 17 it was rather good. If season 3 is going to be the last one I hope they will go out with a bang.

Lilo and Stich though is a different matter..
AND NO, I cannot be gotten rid of by removing posts(of which I only need 23 more before 200) not that any were removed either.

Ouch, an open provocation... I wouldn't consider myself a Trekkie, but I've seen most of the Star Trek episodes, and as much as some were boring and pointless, there were a lot of good ones so I wouldn't generalize like you did. Every show has its good and its bad moments, you just have to give it a chance.

How come I have never seen anything related to Star Trek Voyager in the forum? Do they not exist for trekkies? What is it?
The doctor (or rather the hologram) was the coolest character ever made for Star Trek!

If it is games you mean there is only one Voyager game in existence. Elite Force but that is not abandoneware yet. There are only a few games made for DS9 also. Harbinger which was god awe full and The Fallen which was okay but released at the same time as Elite Force which was far better.
The Fallen did not even have a multiplayer mode and the weapons felt all wrong.
Strangely enough the the original series has the most games made for it even though TNG was far more popular when PC gaming came into it's own. My guess is the developers of games were too old at the time to appreciate TNG at the time.

A minor correction, nearly 700 episodes have been made.
Also, saveenterrpise.com claims that UPN have indeed picked up Enterprise for another 22 episodes, its not official yet, but VERY reliable.

I am not a trekkie.
But I like to watch the TNG once in a while... I don't like the first series, though... (The one with Cpt. Kirk). I think the reason behind is on of the movies they made with them. Don't remember the title, but they must travel back in time in order to save a whale!!
In Norway this movie is just called Star Trek: Greenpeace in Space.
Has to be one of the crappiest movies ever!
The only Star Trek series I have seen every episode of is Voyager. I saw all episodes in 1 week! That really messed up my head... Had it not been for The Doctor I would have gone mad!

88 (TOS) + 178 (TNG) + 176 (DS9) + 170 (+/-Voyager) + 78 (Enterprise) = 690. I guess your right. I should use a calculator more often when doing things like this.
