Yeah, the Star Trek Futurama episode is excellent.

Season 4. Quorth and Bart you were right .

Seek it out, sir! You can't go wrong if you're a fan of either Trek or Rama. And if you're a fan of both? Paradise in 21-minutes!

I'm going to watch it, madam ;D

Hey Spacer, did you ever get around to seeing that Futurama "Hyper-Trek" episode?

[spacer]

I still haven't seen it. I have to get it first then find some free time and..... indulge myself.
Now I'm watching Star Trek Enterprise. It's on cable on AXN channel. It's already second season. I lost many installments.
Some parts are genuine and fresh some are really dull and ludicrous.

[Quorthon]

I liked the introduction of the Andorians, but after the second season of Enterprise, I basically tuned out. Just didn't have the heart of the original series, or, especially for me, The Next Generation.

Yep I like Andorians too. Got awesome tentacles/feelers on their heads. Aggresive like hell. By the by such a civilisation would have plenty troubles to develop without self-extinction/self-destruction.
Their antennae are to also a kind of homage to old classic low budget sci-fi flicks made in 50's and 60's.
Was it intended or not I don't know.

The Captain of the Enterprise (Scott Bacula) seems to be the weakest link in the chain of command and the most emotion-driven member of the crew. He often acts unwisely or seems silly at times. He looks far too human for a brave space explorer. Still, he might be liked. Anyway, he is way behind Captain Picard and James T. Kirk. Benjamin Sisco from was much better too.
But the female crew is definitely the strongest point in these series. Without beautiful T'Pol and cute & friendly Hoshi it would suck. Among male characters the only bright star is an alien doctor whose personality and customs are worth observing and studying. Other males are often dull and cliche characters.

[Quorthon]

You hear about the next Trek film and supposed series?

Tell me all you know about it because I don't.

[Quorthon]

Star Trek XI (or 11) is apparently to be a sequel, just before the original series and Kirk and Co.

Possibly, a spin-off TV series will develop from it.

2007

That's all I found on it...

Many fans online appear to be itchin' for a show about the Human-Romulan War that held continued tensions throughout all the later series'.

I, personally, want one with Riker at the helm of Enterprise F with Q meddling again. Who wouldn't want that??

Thanks for info
There are plenty places where a worth-looking story may develop. Riker at the helm is one option (Picard as an admiral). But the most important thing is that TNG needs a continuation but without Braga and his colleagues. We need a new Gene Roddenberry.

Have you seen the spin-offs made by fans like Hidden Frontiers?

I have not. Never heard of the stuff.

From IMDB:

Star Trek actor George Takei has come out as homosexual after admitting he has been in a serious relationship with another man for 18 years. The TV star, 68, decided to publicly disclose his sexuality after taking on the role as "turbulently frustrated" psychologist Martin Dysart in the Los Angeles stage production of Equus. Takei tells gay and lesbian magazine Frontiers, "The world has changed from when I was a young teen feeling ashamed for being gay. The issue of gay marriage is now a political issue. That would have been unthinkable when I was young." The actor, who played Hikaru Sulu since Star Trek began in 1966, has been with his partner Brad Altman for 18 years. Japanese-American Takei admits he was ashamed of his ethnic background and sexuality during his teen years. Speaking of racism and homophobic behavior, he says, "It's against basic decency and what American values stand for."

So much for, "Where no man has gone before." Oh! That was just wrong! ;D

What is also funny is that on Friday that was a top news story (on Cnn, etc).
