Am I geeky for wanting this?

He isn't dead yet?

Whoa i never knew there was a serie made from that. Maybe now George Lucas will make more episodes, i still haven't watched the last one though but they had awesome special effects, but it was just that -_-

DS9 is the only Star Trek that matters. Everything else is for simpletons.

Oh, and to answer your question: not really.

[Facetious]

^ you SO got star wars confused with star trek (dammit dude posted above me)

id say star trek is 30% as nerdy as anime, and 55% as nerdy as rpgs. so from my perspective, watching star trek makes you way less nerdy than most people on these forums. at least its old school.

oh <_<
I mistaked it for another sci fi series... anyway what kind of serie has enough episodes in order for you to spend like 2500 dollars in it?!! Is it like "Friends" with 10 or 11 seasons? maybe more!?

PS: If you want it that bad, buy it appeal to the little consumer that lives inside all of us ^-^

I would add, to anyone who feels obligated to comment on other people's priority (like 'get a life'), that I am an older person who has worked hard in his life to make the free time and money that I have. So bottom line is that I HAD a life and NOW am able to enjoy what I have left.
So to anyone who wants to say 'get a life', stfu, get off the PC, and go make your own life before being so fucking presumptous like you know how to prioritize everyone's else's life.

There are several different Star Trek storylines (but all apart of the same universe). The original Star Trek ran for 3 seasons. Then TNG, DS9, and Voyager ran for 7 seasons each. The last Star Trek ran for 4 seasons (that's 28 seasons total). Then there are 10 Star Trek movies: 6 belonging to the original Star Trek, and 4 belonging to the TNG crew.

But all you really need is this: TNG from season 3 or 4 onward, all of DS9, and Star Trek movies 2, 4, 6, and 8. That's all the good stuff (IMO, of course).

[Subjugation]

Yea, I'm a Next Gen fan. But I really didn't get into any of the other series'. I just thought Picard was such a perfect character for that type of leadership position, and all the other characters seemed to be a very complimentary fit.


The acting was pretty darn good (for the most part), but the science part of the writing was awesome. I really got a second appreciation for it recently after having taken a couple anthropology classes. When I saw re-runs, I noticed so many phys. anthro references thrown in there. Very good stuff, even 10 years later.

DS9 > all other treks

Star Wars > Star Trek

gg. :wub:

[Eric is God]

Holy shit, that would take you years to finish watching

Try watching all the Dragonball and DBZ episodes and movies..... I have them all (no I am NOT proud of that lol), but it's not something you would want to try and watch all at once.

Agreed on both counts for the most part. TNG had it's moments (anything with the Borg or Q, plus the best series finale of all of them) and Voyager was alright when the Borg and species 8472 (I believe) got involved. Plus Picard was the best captain, Sisko a close second :grin:

DS9 > all other treks

Star Wars > Star Trek

gg. :wub:

Again I agree with "DS9 > all other treks", but please don't turn this into a Star Wars vs Star Trek thread. In my opinion you can't compare 6 movies (Star Wars) with 27 seasons of episodes and 10 movies (Star Trek). 2 out of 6 Star Wars movies sucked, but of course at least a dozen Star Trek seasons and half the movies sucked...

As to the original poster, no it doesn't make you a geek, it just means you REALLY like Star Trek. A friend of mine paid $600 for all the Babylon 5 seasons... but then again he does look really geeky

[Epinephrine]

Wow I've never met anyone who thought DS9 was better. Almost everyone I know who likes Star Trek in real life agrees that TNG was the pinnicle of Star Trek (with the other series basically recycling a lot of plot ideas).


Anyway as cool as this is, I wouldn't want to spend money on DS9, Voyager or Enterprise. I'd rather buy this instead:

Cheaper too!

The problem with TNG was that there were not many ongoing stories (save the Borg, Q and a bit on the Klingons and Romulans) and even those only lasted a handful of episodes. Most episodes were independant of the others. DS9 (especially after the first 2 seasons) on the other hand had a major ongoing storyline. It also had huge battles involving hundreds of ships and the space station itself. In TNG the most they could pull together at once was like 40 ships to fight 1 Borg Cube or 25 ships to fight the Romulans. I think most sci-fi fans enjoy the large battles more than anything, I know I do.

You would need a morgage for that.

Actually what I thought was best about TNG was the exact fact that there were no really ongoing storylines. Aside from the general friendships between the characters, the show was about bigger ideals and bigger things. A lot of the episodes touched on philosophy and important moral issues of the day.

Meanwhile DS9 was just a soap opera in space with some TNG plotlines recycled. The large battles didn't even really start until after Roddenbery died, and I think it's because while he was alive he would never let Star Trek turn into a show about having huge battles, because that's not what Star Trek is about. If I wanted to see huge battles, I would watch Star Wars. Star Trek is something more than mindless battles.
