Star Trek Favourite Series

I grew up with TNG, but I ultimately liked DS9 the most. TNG was interesting when I was younger, but I noticed that few episodes are really that memorable. DS9 is my favorite because of the continuing story line. TNG, TOS, and Voyager have a few interesting storylines, but nothing as monumental as the war for control over DS9. I never got in to Enterprise.

I think the one problem that each series carries is the space soap opera storylines. Roxanna Troy is obnoxious, which does carry some humor, but really has nothing much to do with anything in particular, and yet she has had so many appearances. There are also countless episodes that are supposed to help caracter development, or expand on plotlines, but their is more fluff than integrity.

I also thought it was funny to see Tim Russ, who played an extra on TNG, end up being Tuvok on Voyager.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

You got it right on. I also think I saw him on DS9. I really do have respect for the actor.

One thing I really found hillarious about DS9 was the Klingon / Ferengi racism.
Quark: Oh no! If Freganar is destroyed, the entire Ferengi race could be doomed!
Worf: I fail to see the problem.

The special guest apperances which helped tie the multiple series together was also really cool.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

This is interesting, because That is what I really liked about the series. The fact that every action they took had such a storng political following made it so interesting. In all the other series, it was the Prime Directive or Starfleet Command, and both seemed so easy to disregard. In DS9, their were so many political factions that made up the galactic community that everybody was affected by the actions of the station.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I always thought Kate Mulgrew never got the respect she deserved. I loved her in System Shock 2 (the videogame), and she did a great job of playing a hardened captain. I thought a lot of people discredited her for some of the scripts she was given to show her softer sides. I didn't like the scripts, but I don't hold it against Kate.

Ugh. I thought she played Delacroix, but now I remember Shodan used a voice adjuster/enhancer to disguise itself. It REALLY sounds like her, but I'm so busted. I'll still bet if anybody plays the game, they can not tell the difference.

I was speaking idiomatically.

That wouldn't surprise me. Kate Mulgrew as Captain Janeway always had that deep, respect demanding voice. I'm still trying to dig up some voice overs from the game to post up for comparison.
