Star Trek

It is time for a confession. I am a bit of a Trekkie. I have never even considered dressing up as a Vulcan, and I am not learning Klingon (Greek is as far as I can get). I just think it has been a very good series lasting many years. The Original Series was cheesy, the films have only been good in stages and poor in others, but it has continously produced challenging ideas and storylines. Lots of fake science, and it was set too close in the future (items in the Original Series were set in the late 1990s, for exampe!). Voyager was very good right up until the last episode which ended too briefly. They have too often wrapped up good storylines in the last few seconds before the credits roll, which is poor. However, in 7 of 9, Jeri Ryan produced one of the best characters in the whole series. Enterprise had its moments, it was no worse than any others , and the two-parter in the last series set in the "evil" parallel universe was simply stunning.

There, that's off my chest.

However, it is still not as good as the new series of Dr Who.
