So you can't have a Star Trek thread without discussing the Captains...

In my kick@ss-o-meter of Captains... not how I'd rank the series mind you.

1) Jean Luc Picard
2) Katheryn Janeway
3) Captain James Tiberious Kirk
4) Benjamin Sisko
5) Jonathan Archer

1) JLP
2) BS
3) JA
4) JTK
5) KJ

How about you start a poll on this?

I could go with that list.

Star trek sucks arse.

I agree with DD that BSG wins.

Star Wars (the first 3) are far better than Star Trek and BSG.

You can't just say Star Trek sucks without going into a little more detail as to why, give us your best attempt at an explanation.

Ok, no problem.

Star Track sucks ares - because it does.

Only jesting. If you liked it, that's cool. But, personally, I thought it had shoddy actors - Shoddy scripts and Shoddy effects/sets.

I have seen it a couple of times. You know, it was entertaining enough, but what i don't understand is all the hype and fanboyism that surrounds it?

Shoddy actors, no argument. Shoddy effects and sets, no argument, (although you do realize it was made for television, in the 60's so that applied to all shows from that era. But on the shoddy scripts part... that I'll argue on.

It gets a bit samey pretty quickly.

You can't argue on objective opinions. I think it sucks Jesus' balls, you on the other hand like it.

We can still love each other.....

I agree, no arguing a subjective opinion since there is no right or wrong. There is however misguided.

Seriously though, it's unfair to compare something cultural from a half century ago based on today's standards. Or we can see how BSG holds up fifty years from now.

But just because I know it was made in 60s, I'm not going to like it anymore.

It's a dull dull show to me. That ain't ever going to change.

For example, I love the film 'It's A Wonderful Life'. It was filmed in the 40s. I still love it. Classic is Classic. Time doesn't change that. If you have to say "Stark Trek is great, for something in the 60s" then it wasn't actually ever that good.

No wonder we disagree about Star Trek.

I think It's a Wonderful Life is just a plain jane feel good (escapism) movie that was hashed out to help people forget the ravages brought about by WW2. It wasn't about ground breaking or exploring substantive issues in the society of it's time. In other words it lacked the "balls". On the other hand a show that was willing to talk about racism and alternative sexuality and a socialist ideals, and sneak it all into millions of living rooms under the noses of corporate America IMO transcends its genre, and therefor it's the reason it's still popular today.

But yeah, the sets and acting were pretty abysmal, and at least you said something more mature than just it sucked balls.

See there is a life lesson for you there. If you'd said It's a Wonderful life sucked balls, instead of of all the other stuff you wrote, We'd still be in the same place, but with you have spent less energy typing.

Well, i haven't seen enough episodes to judge, really.

I was hoping that comment might spur on a fan to pipe up with why they like the show so much, but it didn't work.

Or you could have not commented in the first place since there was nothing you really had that contributed to the thread and saved yourself some work as well, life lessons tend to start at the beginning.
