[quote="Ali"]NP Mike. You don't have to talk about it.

Ashes: I heard about Enterprise being cancelled. It made my day!  :twisted: You're right - I don't think 'real' Trekkers considered it worthy of the other three. I didn't - hence me never watching .(I watched the pilot to see if it was as bad/flawed as it sounded - which it was.)

I totally understand Riker irritating you. He irritated me, too. But over time - as I began to learn more about Jonathan - he grew on me. I like Jonathan ( I loved him as a director and he's just lovely person.)

I liked the Bajoran religious stuff. But to be honest - I loved every aspect of DS9.

Including religion was a masterstroke imho. TNG always skipped over it.  Having religious vs politics is always interesting and Kai Winn made a wondeful 'bad guy'. :D

I remember being really excited when Voyager was launched. But it was bogged down quite quickly and while it had wonderul episodes - it was just dull. The Kazon were boring and the ditto most of the crew. The Maquis crew assilmilated far too quickly, also. 
The only standouts were Janeway and  B'Elanna.

As stated, I loathed Harry - Tuvok lacked spark, Tom was mediocre at best and the Doctor took forever to develop (although once he did - he was wonderful). I hated Neelix, too. So - as you can see - it took a lot for me to turnaround on Voyager.

As you say though - there were some amazing episodes - especially once Seven arrived (bar Borg eps). I loved the early Seven episodes - like 'The Raven' and later ones like  'Omega'.

I was also bitterly disappointed with the way Voyager went out. The time travel thing was the worst kind of cop-out. I mean - seriously!  As you say - cliche and done to death.  :cry:

I'm sorry - you like [i]Geordi!?[/i]  :shock:  He was the weakest character in TNG. I'm a little stunned. Why do you like him? I'm interested. I like Levar, don't get me wrong - but if Geordi had died or something....I doubt I would've cared too much. (No offense).

I also can't believe you didn't like Odo. You're honestly the first person I've met who didn't.

I'm [i]really[/i] interested to know why you didn't like Janeway! Long post = good thing :D Rant away.

Star Wars

Sure Luke was a 'quick learner'  :wink:  (I didn't mean to offend. I know most SW fans think ESB is 'the best' - but I'm not one of them. My brother adores it though!)

ROTJ - I think it would've been a 'wothy end' minus the Ewoks. It's a great movie -but I always think the Ewok stuff lets it down. Having said that, though - the Luke/Vader/Emperor 'fight' was[i] amazing[/i]. I love it to death.

I don't think pre-Empire or post-Empire makes much of a difference 'dirt-wise' to be honest. I mean - it's just the places, really. Tatooine was grubby and the Empire were barely there. In Empire - Dagobah is an honest nightmare! But - the prequels - even though we go to Taooine and that other planet where we met Dooku - both were sandy  but everything just seemed - clean and unreal and why? B/c most of it was done in a computer.

That restaurant were Kenobi hooks up with Dex -It was meant to be a little grubby -

-from starwars.com - " Located on the streets of Coco Town, a[i] dilapidated industrial area [/i]on the city-planet of Coruscant, is a quaint and outdated eatery known simply as Dex's Diner."

I simply didn't gett the sense of it being a dirty little diner - despite[i] knowng[/i] it's meant to be. Same with the 'refugee' ship that takes Padme and Anakin back to Naboo. Clean!  It's a [i]refugee [/i]ship!

Sorry to rave on - it just annoys me no end. When SW came out - people loved it for it's 'realist look' - as did I. It just seems a shame to me that one of the reasons everyone loved it has gone by the wayside.
re: The Clone Wars - What Clone Wars? LOL! I saw the Clone Army 'rescue' the Jedi. I didn't see a 'war'. It was skimmed over and I  expect the 'war' to be treated a little more in Revenge. If it's not - I'm sure a billion SW fans will hit the roof.

I was really annoyed with the whole Clone Army thing, actually.  The Clone Wars always sounded [i]so[/i] intriguing. But it was so wicked diluted in AOTC - I didn't care at all.

For me, the most interesting aspect of 'the prequels' is  Palpatine. But then - we all know what he's doing lol. I want more exploration of him and the Sith (which I hope to get in Revenge).  Seriously - unless you go to starwars.com and look it up - who knows how the Sith started and why? I remember vague refrences - but nothing that sunk in. Nothing was incrediably 'cool' or 'wonderfully explained'. I honestly believe that to be a flaw in the storytelling.

If by 'Clone Wars' you're refering to a book or something - I don't read SW books - sorry in advance.

I really don't mean to s*** all over SW. If I didn't love it I wouldn't be so hard on it - if you know what I mean. There are aspects for me (in case you haven't guessed) that leave a lot to be desired. It's why ANH is my favorite. It's tight and only has a couple of things that bug - but not enough to bog the story down.

take care  :D[/quote]
