Topic: Wow, early TNG is REALLY bad

[Chris Johnson]

How I thought of it was this: The more you grow physically and learn from school, the more growing-up you do, the less of a kid you have in you.  Sure, we look back, we have it in our spirit, but we're adults mostly, and we're much of a different person; We'd naturally would be annoyed with our younger selves if they were another person entirely that we met (I figured this much out from little cousins and living with 'em for a half a year, though that's two years ago and I love 'em).  We'd also have grown to like different interests, especially those of the "mating ritual" (not speaking of myself though, but from observation), to which we'd most likely would've been grossed out by as a kid.

And with what I've been through here and there in my personal life, I'd kill to be a kid again in 1990, and not just a kid again by heart.

You were a kid in 1990?  That means you're STILL a kid!  Pop that TOS DVD in the player!

He may just be expecting Star Trek to be like Star Wars, mostly action and special effects with a storyline to fuel it (and not much grey matter required). Star Trek, on the otherhand has always been cerebral. Expectation may be causing your 10 yr. old, Stephen, to be missing the story.

Your Probably right Tracy, now I feel kinda Bad for hitting him in the head with a Brick untill he said, I love Trek , I love trek. 

Stephen the Brick layer... Uhm wait.

Star trek was something a I had to grow into too, I wasn't much interested in itsince it wasn't a cartoon when I was a kid.  However, TNG kept my interest better.  After a season or two of TNG I became curious again of TOS, checked it out again, and was hooked.  To be honest, though, I prefer the TMP movies best, second TOS, then probably TNG.  Voyager is not on the list, really.  The cast was too contrived, the plots too much to suspend disbelief.  DS9, while a bit shaky at firstturned into a great series.
For me, I like trek for the exploration, adventure and introduction of new concepts.
Except, TOS.  TOS was to check out O'Hura.

I was a wierd kid...I always liked Trek...in fact one could almost say I grew up on it!!!

I didn't get to see all of TOS until recently however, when they finally came out with them on DVD...though I did watch them occasionally when they came on TV.

Of the Trek spinoffs (TNG, DS9, VGR, and ENT), I like DS9 the best.  The characters were very well-developed, the over-arching storyline became very compelling, and Sisko is, in my opinion, the best Starfleet captain featured that has been featured so far.  Plus, Terry Farrell is HOT (almost as hot as TracyG's sig )

Mr. Tricorder- your sig pic: 

I can see it now-

Starfleet insertion team beams aboard Klink/Rom/Cardie ship with phaser rifles drawn, "All your base are belong to us!"

Klink/Rom/Cardie redshirt, "Someone set us up the photon!"

You're the first person EVER to comment on my little "alteration" to the Starfleet Command seal.  I wonder how many people have even noticed.

Gents, this might make heck of an April Fool's mod!  Unfortunately, it can't be done in any of the SFCs, but if someone would spoof one of the Star Trek FPS games, I'd really consider buying it!  Imagine a hand picked boarding party/insertion team led by Kirk, backed up by Worf, Sisko, and 7 of 9 as the heavy artillery, Spock and T'Pol as the point guards, while Hoshi and Data try to steal everything off the enemy memory cores!  Picard could be the voice in Kirk's earpiece, "Now, James, wasn't that a bit over the top?"...

... and no phaser for Kirk, he gets to bop all the baddies on the chin with his fists, all this after he grandly announces, "All your base... "
