Hey, most of us loved TNG. Many loved DS9. Quite a few loved VOY. But
it's been a decline; every reiteration on Roddenberry's dream, without
Roddenberry, has been more and more watered down until we now reach ENT.
Which, even by Bjo Trimble's account, has so little Star Trek in it we have
to wonder if they exist in the same universe.
Makes you wonder if Paramount was right - that the only person who
understood why Star Trek was a success was Gene Roddenberry himself.

That's another very good theory.
Is there anyone here who started being a fan with Enterprise?
What is your opinion of the older series?

Eventually we will have rabid fans who say the Enteprize it the best
Star Trek series ever and that the four series that came before and
the 27 that came after all suck. Mark my words; it WILL happen.

Meaningless. There's people who think Galactica 1980 was a TV
show. You can find people who believe anything online somewhere.

I loved TNG, DS9 and (to a lesser extent) Voyager.
Of all of them, the first season or two, was something to get into (at
least, to me).
Not really good, but I got used to them and by the third seasons, got to
love them.
I can't really speak of TOS.
Here in The Netherlands, they didn't repeat TOS very often.
First was somewhere in the early 1980's when I was still a welp in my crib.
Last was about a year or so ago and they only repeated a few episodes (about
ten), but those I saw I liked. Although it was all rubber and you could
really see the fake of the fake, it definatly was Trek and had it's own
feeling which made everything good.
So I have to say I think I love TOS and I do love TNG, DS9, ENT and to a
lesser extent VGR.
