Star Trek Fans!

The only thing I ever remember not liking was Wesley god damn Crusher.

What?

Wesley was the bomb. What teenage boy didn't want to get felt up by Deanna Troi?

As a goof, I wrote Marina Sirtis a fan letter basically stating I wanted her between the sheets. To my surprise I received an autographed photo from Marina (or her publicist) and a hand written letter in the mail. The letter, in short, said "Seems like your goals know no bounds. You can't get everything in life that you want, but keep working and aspiring for great things".

I still have that and a Worf poster somewhere in storage.I was still living in Columbus, so she wrote me back in the 80's. Man, I need to find and frame that autographed headshot.

I loved Wesley. Yeah he was somewhat cheesy, but what made him a positive to the series was that, in the first few seasons, they constantly reference his importance in a way that seemed far beyond the series. It gave you the allusion that there was more in the universe and that it's future would have events.

I think that was one of the things that made TNG so good was that they did call backs to previous references, characters recurring and a constant reference to what their future would be. It made it seem real which was really really cool. I have to go through TNG since I only really watched it when I was a really young. I got through the first 2 seasons, now to keep going!

Wesley was alright until he started having evolutionary powers or whatever they were. Then it started getting a little silly.

I actually like the J.J. Abrams movies. Yes, they mess with the timeline, but not like ENT series did. ENT was good, it was really good for Season 4.

Anyone play Star Trek Online? My characters name is Aya, I am a female Trill. My main DPS ship is a Mirror Patrol Escort.

I mostly dislike Enterprise but I admit it did get better in the later seasons when they shook up the creative team and dropped the idiotic temporal cold war stuff in favor of the birth of the federation type stories we wanted from the beginning.

I used to play STO. Some of the story missions were fun. The end game did nothing to keep me playing though as it's just a boring, pointless grind.

For the record, Luke, I saw Marina Sirtis a few years ago at DragonCon, and I can assure you that she is still hot.

Sitting down like a boss.

Also what happened to his waisteline?

Sitting down like a boss.

You know, being tall myself, I'd probably make a habit of stepping over the low chairs like that too.

[Luke]

For the record, Luke, I saw Marina Sirtis a few years ago at DragonCon, and I can assure you that she is still hot.

Without googling, I'm guessing she is near sixty years of age. Good on her.

Jedzia Dax (Terry Farrell) was always my favorite. Then 7 of 9.

[Soldier Blue]

LOVED TNG. I've seen like every episode, although my opinion might be skewed because I've only watched TNG and TOS.

[Key-Glyph]

I have fond memories of TOS and TNG, but my favorite is Voyager.

*highfive* I'm enjoying TNG, but VOY's episodes are better structured from a storytelling perspective (even when the character writing is inconsistent), and I enjoy having conflicts among the characters. Also, The Doctor.

Even more bizarre, I watched and loved the Nickelodeon show Space Cases...

You may be the only other person I've ever met who remembers that show. I recall really liking it too but I wouldn't want to re-watch it today and ruin those memories for myself.

There's an entire YouTube channel dedicated to the show and which has all of the episodes, so far as I'm aware. I went through a handful of them recently and I have to say, it's certainly still watchable. Moreso than a lot of other shows from our childhood. You might be pleasantly surprised!

For the record, I don't have a problem with Wesley. I think he's a great character for what he is -- an overzealous, slightly irritating teacher's pet. I do get bothered when I sense a character is needlessly and illogically overemphasized because he or she is a writer's favorite, but although Wesley had some of that going on in the first season, it's toned down since (I'm currently at the beginning of season three). I actually think that Seven of Nine suffers more from The Wesley trope than Wesley does himself.
