DS9 and prequel....meh. DS9 too limited in location. Prequel...never got into it. Timing? Or...just didn't care? IDK

I actually liked the voyager series...it set the original premise in a "new" area (quadrant) and make them...out-of-reach...of Starfleet.

i think i had a difficult time with voyager because i found Kate Mulgrew's character annoying. Any other captain and i'd probably have liked the series.

What's "Cool" about Star Trek....
1) Optimistic future for humans.
2) Positive exploration theme, seeking new life and new civilizations. Boldly going where no [one] has gone before...
3) Wasn't all "action movie" oriented. Actually had plots, morals, lessons, themes. More than the current trend of lens-flair and fast-paced cut scenes...but it still didn't drag. Everyone was in good shape, but they weren't all ninjas and such. Normal people.
4) More creative writing than most of today's sci-fi fare.

LOL CES Me too.

Don't forget they had strong woman characters (even the annoying ones) , especially in the later series

LOL CES Me too.

i thought it was just me.

I think it's a female thing. IDK. She didn't really bother me. I think the actress did a great job in the role. The character...was OK with me.

Yeah. Strong species and genders. And also responsibility and more....noble...approaches. Wasn't base greed or religious warfare or ethnic wars or sexism. Although those issues were addressed indirectly through other species. Humans had learned to overcome these things. THAT was Roddenberry's great insight, but it wasn't stressed so much that the story got lost.

really? i'm surprised you're such a trekkie, ces!

i liked 'next generation' enough to watch if i came across it but never sought it out. the rest i never tried to get into for some reason.

hey, i dunno why but the other day i was trying to figure out 3 famous people i'd invite to dinner (if it were practical of course). anyone want to play? mine are...

alan watts, richard feynman, george carlin (in that order).

i've read or listened to everything available on all of them, (except for most of feynmans lectures. they are far too difficult for me, oh and a biography on watts that's in the mail)

depends...are the famous people good cooks?

hehehehehe

hehehehehe

you know, i was also thinking i'd need a cook because i'm terrible at it. and if you were just a little more famous outside of birmingham i'd dump carlin and ask you.

I am famous outside of birmingham..sort of...ok, so not really. but i don't cook. though i might cook better than george carlin these days

Glad the surgery went well. I hope he recovers quickly

Can you change the settings at home, or do you need to have a doc to change the settings?


Good morning Atty

we'll have some leeway but first, i think, should be a remapping. pretty sure the original contacts chosen are no longer providing much relief

Good morning Snails

morning, lis and atty!

 

[Liscab]
