    The original series is my favorite. I'm also a fan of TNG and DS9. I'm not a Voyager fan at all. Enterprise was just starting to get pretty good when it was canceled.
    My favorite of the movies (have seen them all) is the 2nd one. The fifth is my least favorite but I thought the first one wasn't very good either.
    Probably my favorite episode of the entire franchise is "The City On The Edge Of Forever" from the original series. Joan Collins plays a social worker in Depression-era Chicago. I won't say any more in case someone hasn't seen it...would hate to spoil this gem for anyone. The last line of the episode: "We were successful." - Spock

    That's my favourite episode too. Anytime I see it on TV there's no turning it off. Top quality, for sure.

    That is my favorite episode of the original series as well. My favorite line of that episode is Spock's line to McCoy at the end.

    William Shatner is also in Dallas today performing his one man broadway show. I'm not going though.

    I had the pleasure of being unemployed for about 2 months before my current job.
    So I went and filled out a bunch of applications, then went home and waited...
    If anyone else has nothing but free time I HIGHLY recommend watching DS9 start to finish. :lol:
    SOOOOOO good! :ugeek:

    He is indeed the credited writer on the eppie. It was largely rewritten before filming began, however. See the link below for details on the differences between Ellison's original script and what was filmed.

    I've been wanting to do that since the show became available on Netflix. I got through 2 episodes, but there's just so many other shows I've been watching for the first time i'm having to put shows I've already seen on the backburner. I still want to watch Star Trek in "timeline order" some day starting with Enterprise, TOS, TOS Movies, TNG, and ending with DS9. TNG and DS9 episodes would be alternated duing the time when they aired concurrently. :ugeek: I'm fine with leaving out Enterprise and starting with TOS though. I'd probably also leave out some of the lesser episodes of TOS and TNG if I did this. :ugeek: :ugeek: :ugeek:

    FYI...My girl wanted to KILL me! I was not working and watching "Star Track"(she just says it to piss me off :lol: ) all day. It was great. :?
    "Take Me Out to the Holosuite" holds a special place in my heart. :ugeek: :lol:

    In honour of William Shatner's 81st birthday, here is one of his finest acting moments in Star Trek. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WYW_lPl ... ata_player
    I will seek to find the whole episode :geek:

    that was awesome! found a bit more now I am intrigued

    thank you :D

    could God be a bad guy in this ;) he met his match in Kirk

    Happy Birthday Bill! :clap: Love you dearly!!

    As cool and funny as that scene is, it comes from the worst Star Trek movie ever made- the 5th.

    Shatner is very funny and charasmatic at conventions. I saw him and Spock at Nassau Coliseum nearly 20 years ago.

    Agreed...it was bad...True story, I read the novel adaptation the night before going to see the 5th movie....it was fantastic....I was geeked for the movie....really geeked.....then I endured the torture of watching that POS....watched it again years later....still awful

    I probably should have been obvious with my sarcasm. I see that scene as epitomizing the crappiness of Star Trek V: The Final Frontier. Sorry for the confusion; I usually pretend like that movie never happened...I mean Spock's egotistical half brother? Come on!

    I was in my early teens when TOS aired. It was always cool to go to school the next day and everybody would be talking about the previous night's episode. Fave episodes include City on the Edge of Forever (of course), The Devil in the Dark (great suspense) and Mirror, Mirror (introduced the alternative universe scheme that the later series made good use of).

    I was sure that TNG would be a flop but it turned out great. Retained all the elements that made TOS popular. Big fan and couldn't understand why they took it off the air when it was still so popular. Probably my favorite episode is Darmok (with the aliens that spoke in metaphor) and The Inner Light (Picard is transported to a dying planet and lives another man's life).

    It took me a while to warm up to DS9 but eventually I liked it the best. Never really got into Voyager and I only watched a little of Enterprise.
