Re: Least flawed canon you're in the fandom for?

"Pretty much the only non-faily fandom I have is Star Trek"

Reaaaaaalllllllly hope you're referring specifically to the most recent movie here, and not including all of Trek fandom in its entirety.

Because a little thing called... uh, well, Spock's Brain, The Final Frontier, Generations, Code of Honor, Move Along Home, and Threshold might disagree with you. Just for starters. I love Star Trek to death, but there is a LOT of Bad Trek.

You don't wanna Allamarain?

Don't forget "Angel One." LOL Poor Riker.

Re: You don't wanna Allamarain?

Hahahaha yeah, it wasn't a complete list, or I would have still been writing it.

I mean, really, you could put just about any episode of season 1 TNG on there, Code of Honor is just the most... egregious. By which I mean racist. And there's plenty of bad episodes in every series, really.

Man, Angel One was terrible. What a turd.

Re: You don't wanna Allamarain?

[lunabee34]

I have such nostalgia for TNG because it started airing when I was a kid, and I grew up with it, but man. Most of it does not hold up on rewatch. There are some genuinely amazing episodes scattered throughout the ten seasons, but overall? Meh.

We've watched DS9 and Voyager the whole way through with my nine year old but the thought of watching all ten seasons of TNG in chronological order kinda gives me hives. LOL

Re: You don't wanna Allamarain?

OMG THAT ICON IS AMAZING

I think TNG holds up pretty well after the second season. But maybe that's my nostalgia blinders on. It's definitely a different style, and there's still bad episodes, but I think it's a pretty solid show after the beginning. The beginning is just... so, so bad. (Also weren't there 7 seasons of TNG? Am I crazy?)

Re: You don't wanna Allamarain?

[lunabee34]

Dude, I don't know. Maybe it just feels like ten? LOL

I think my main issue with TNG is that there's no overarching story that encompasses the whole series, really. I don't think having Q in the first and last episodes counts. *g* I also don't think there's a whole lot of character development. Data and Picard get a lot of character development, and everybody else is pretty much exactly the same character he or she started as with minor changes. IDK

I passionately love many TNG episodes, I just don't think it holds up as well as some of the other franchises.

Icon is shareable! the maker is in the keywords. :)

Re: You don't wanna Allamarain?

Yeah, everything you say is true, it's just not an issue for me.

Even Picard doesn't have THAT much character growth - he has character moments, and moments where he learns things, and character growth within an episode, but I'd be hard pressed to find a significant way in which he acts differently at the start of the series than he does at the end because of something he experienced. I think Data is the only one with legit character growth, and maybe to a minor extent Laforge by proxy.

But that doesn't bother me - to be honest, I like that a lot. I like that it provides a stable structure for telling different stories from week to week, that you have this basic reliable framework - the same characters, the same tone, the same basic situation compelling adventures - and that you can use that to create an anthology series, where they do all these different things and have these adventures.

It's definitely different than DS9 or Voyager or ENT where you have a serial storyline. But I honestly prefer the non-serial style, and it's something that's really fallen out of style. Maybe it doesn't hold up because it's more old-fashioned, but I like that about the show. You wouldn't re-watch it in the same way you'd rewatch DS9, certainly. But I don't think that means it's a lesser series because it's telling different stories week by week, as long as those stories are interesting, and they usually are to me, after the first season at least. And some of the second season. And some of the 7th season.

TNG love y'all

I'd rather catch an odd episode of TNG if I'm watching TV randomly than the other series because there's no context I have to really worry about.

Re: You don't wanna Allamarain?

[lunabee34]

Hey, you love what you love. No apologies needed. I still get goosebumps every time I hear the opening theme music. LOL

Re: You don't wanna Allamarain?

[ryttu3k]

Yeah, there's only seven. We have the complete DVD set XD And I watched it recently for the first time - aside from some early ones, it still holds up really well, I agree.

Re: You don't wanna Allamarain?

[intrigueing]

Yup, I still loooove post-season 2 TNG even though the writing can be a bit too clunky and stiff when you're not used to it. And honestly I loved that there was no arc. Just people having adventures every week, and most of the period is so interchangeable you never have to worry about how this episode should be watched differently because it's in this part of arc #27.

Re: You don't wanna Allamarain?

[ryttu3k]

Right! I've only seen it and Voyager, and I know Voyager had the overarching theme of getting home, but do other series have more of an arc to them?

Re: You don't wanna Allamarain?

[lunabee34]

DS9 has several series long arcs, mostly having to do with religion and politics.

Re: You don't wanna Allamarain?

[ryttu3k]

...Huh. They sound pretty interesting!

Re: You don't wanna Allamarain?

[lunabee34]

I think DS9 is my favorite of the franchises with Voyager coming in second. I would totally recommend it if you haven't watched (but it really does need to be watched from the beginning and in order for maximum effect).

Re: You don't wanna Allamarain?

[philstar22]

Your opinion is mine. DS9 is my favorite and Voyager my second. Also, your Kira icon is awesome. She is by far my favorite Trek character.

Re: You don't wanna Allamarain?

[lunabee34]

I do love the Major. She is such an awesome character. The icon is shareable! Maker's in the keywords.

Re: You don't wanna Allamarain?

[intrigueing]

DS9 is AWESOME. TNG and TOS are dearer to my heart, but I love DS9 too and it really pushed the bar in Trek and definitely has more sophisticated storyarcs and better-developed characters.

Re: You don't wanna Allamarain?

[lunabee34]

*nods*

I think what I appreciate most about TOS is that while the special effects don't hold up, the dialogue does and the relationships between the characters seem just as vital and interesting as they did years ago.

Re: You don't wanna Allamarain?

[ryttu3k]

I'll see if I can find it :)

Re: Least flawed canon you're in the fandom for?

[intrigueing]

Nope, not in nu!Trek at all. But old Trek actually didn't "ruin" anything. Sure, it has a lot of bad episodes, but nothing faily. No character derailment, no wall-bangers, no rage-inducing events or stories.
