Guest James Posted April 9, 2003 Report Posted April 9, 2003 I am fed up of the software engineers in my work place going on and on and on about this Crap. I hear it all the time! AAARRRR! i hate it! Now is it compulsory to like this garbage if your into computers?
Guest spacemonkey Posted April 9, 2003 Report Posted April 9, 2003 I like it, but I'm fairly objective and certainly quite a lot of recent star trek stuff is utter shite. For instance the 2 most recent movies, most of next generation, about half of voyager....
Guest Emad Posted April 9, 2003 Report Posted April 9, 2003 How about liking one, but not the other? I like both, but then again I'm easily pleased :lol:
Guest James Posted April 9, 2003 Report Posted April 9, 2003 as far i could make out from overhearing their conversations you have to like both? o well!
Guest capt_janeway Posted April 9, 2003 Report Posted April 9, 2003 See nickname..................need I say more? :lol: ;)

Guest Emad Posted April 9, 2003 Report Posted April 9, 2003 jlowap, would recommend the following 2 for you: 1. The documentary 'Trekkies'. You'll enjoy that. Oh yes. 2. Look for Triumph the Insult Comic Dog - Star Wars. You'll enjoy that even more.. :lol: I've always thought there were much scarier things than fans of these two shows - anime cosplay comes to mind.. Failing that, the Tolkienites - whats worse, being able to speak Klingon of Elvish?
Guest fraser Posted April 9, 2003 Report Posted April 9, 2003 The movie "Galaxy Quest" is well worth a watch, whether you love or hate Star Trek. "I'm gonna die....I don't even have a surname!!!" :lol:
Guest Monolithix [MVP] Posted April 9, 2003 Report Posted April 9, 2003 Galaxy Quest was great. Star Trek was good up to the time series 7 of DS9 was about (best trek ever imho, although others wouldn't agree). Enterprise is ok, but a little ambiguous considering when its supposed to be set. Voyager used to be good.... The last good trek film was First Contact (wtf was Nemesis about...? :/) So there you go... :lol:
Guest HelloDave Posted April 9, 2003 Report Posted April 9, 2003 I'm not really into Sci Fi, but there's nothing wrong with liking it as long as you don't take things too far. It's one thing to have seen most of the episodes/films and know a few random facts, and another to spend your weekends dressing up as Mr Spock and brandishing a large silver "weapon" made out of MDF (I knew someone once...OK :lol:). It's the harcore fans that scare me - there's something inately worrying about people who belive so strongly in something that doesn't actually exist, or is likely to in the not so distant future! :wink:
Guest casper508 Posted April 9, 2003 Report Posted April 9, 2003 80% in favour so far. Need I say more ?? Cas
Guest Sarah_SPV Posted April 10, 2003 Report Posted April 10, 2003 Star Wars Rules! Star Trak (sic) sucks!! I'm sorry, I appear to have become 12 years old again, heh.
Guest TSCRYPTO Posted April 10, 2003 Report Posted April 10, 2003 Yeah, Star Wars (and I mean iv, v and vi) rocks...forget the more recent two... As for Star Trek - original series sh*ts all over what we have had to put up with on TV in the way of voyager etc (no offence, of course to the aptly named poster above :lol: ) I'll extract the lightsabre from my a s s now... :wink:
Guest midnight Posted April 10, 2003 Report Posted April 10, 2003 errrr, see , now this is a bit of a strange one, cos personally, star wars episodes 4,5,6 rule, 1 was real crappy, 2 was a little better, but still a bit naff (nice effects but thats about it) As for Star Trek, i dont really like 'Enterprise' too many flaws and paradox's for me, but kinda like the other stuff, especially DS9 (basically cos they aint pussy-footing around when it comes to battles, they just get into the Defiant and blow the crap out of everyone).
Guest Rob.P Posted April 10, 2003 Report Posted April 10, 2003 Starwars fan myself (not devotee though), I liked the orginals because of their cult status and what they represent film-wise (like my films me), the newer ones not too keen on in relation to the orginals but still like as I have followed the universe of starwars through the follow-up material. I watched all of the orginal series of Startrek, only followed some of the newer ones cause they were on TV when I got home and usually watched them cause I was having a smoke at the time.
Guest Matt Whitfield Posted April 10, 2003 Report Posted April 10, 2003 I've gotta go with: Star Wars = good (seeing Return of the Jedi as a kid when it first came out in the Odeon Leicester Square totally ruled!!!) Star Trek = bad (and often really, really bad)
Guest fourfinger Posted April 10, 2003 Report Posted April 10, 2003 Starwars is quality no argument there.. (by the way, i met two people who have NEVER seen ANY of the starwars!!, it was like finding the yeti..i didnt think they existed!). :shock: as to startrek im a generations fan, nearly all the problems could be solved with an "inverse tachyon pulse" and if that didnt work, data could always devise a plan, no problem! admitedly i aint watched startrek since i started uni.. :lol:
Guest HelloDave Posted April 11, 2003 Report Posted April 11, 2003 (by the way, i met two people who have NEVER seen ANY of the starwars!!, it was like finding the yeti..i didnt think they existed!). Then would you be shocked if I told you the only Star Wars I have watched properly is Episode 2 (despite having episodes 3 and 4 sitting in my house...)? I did enjoy episode 2, though i'm all you fans will tell me it ain't as good as the originals :lol: I am the yeti. Mwar har ;)
Guest midnight Posted April 11, 2003 Report Posted April 11, 2003 you have episode 3????? wow thats quick, hold on, are you that time travelling guy who ripped off the stock market? :lol:
Guest fourfinger Posted April 11, 2003 Report Posted April 11, 2003 Damn!, if ya has episode 3 sitting in yer house then ya definately has contacts!!
Guest HelloDave Posted April 11, 2003 Report Posted April 11, 2003 aagh- it was late at night when I posted that! You know what I meant! Funny, it's only star wars/trek fans that pounce on you when you get one little thing wrong... :wink: "No Mr Spock blinked twice in episode 37 not 45" etc :lol:
Guest awarner [MVP] Posted April 11, 2003 Report Posted April 11, 2003 Are you sure it was 37? I sure it was 38 :lol:
Guest HelloDave Posted April 11, 2003 Report Posted April 11, 2003 Damn, wrong again! I must brush up my knowledge before tomorrow :lol:
