It's time for you to dust off your old hatchet and go to town. Has he at least read Asimov's work? Maybe he can claim Star Trek isn't good enough sci-fi! | ||

Also I tried starting one of the Star Trek series since it was on Prime and couldn't get through the first episode  It was the one where they meet the mysterious Qi who manifests himself as a pompous judge. I couldn't do it, I'm sorry | ||

I can imagine some US accents being similar. On April 13 2017 03:10 mordek wrote: BBC's Sherlock takes some serious immersion to finally catch everything for me.

I couldn't do it, I'm sorry TNG's first season was, like many first seasons, really rough. I think if I was introducing someone to it today I'd start with something later. Original though, should be seen end to end in all its glory. | ||

I can't bring myself to watch tos episodes. They truly make me cringe. I understand it was a different time, and it was groundbreaking and whatnot but just... Ugh It's like comparing batman: TAS to 60s batman. | ||

I couldn't do it, I'm sorry Q ep is pretty rough. You only really need to know that encounter later on in the show iirc. Can just try out watching from season 2 or when Rider gets his beard. Can't remember if that's S2 or not. | ||

I think star wars is extremely overhyped and overcelebrated. This may seem kind of obvious given the more recent sequels/prequels but I include the original trilogy. I DO, however really appreciate and enjoy what Lucas was attempting to do in having us begin viewing in the middle of a 'serialized adventure.' very cool concept and great vision on his part for doing so. I think a lot of the vision was lost when the ideas had to be fleshed out and that's why we have most of the garbage pile that the series is today. I will also say what the various (non-canon now, apparently) extended universe authors did with the series is remarkable. Never read many of them but I admit to wasting a lot of hours on wookiepedia on more than one occasion. | ||

I can understand English mostly fine but the day I cave in and watch The Wire, subs are certainly going to be on. Never saw any ST that I remember. And I think Lucas had planned all 6 movies ahead, but felt the special effects and budgets for the first trilogy weren't something doable then so he went with 4~6 first? | ||

The new Star Trek films are fun action movies but should not be compared with the TV shows, or at least not with any past TOS. | ||
