I loved the new Star Trek film!

Firefly / Serenity FTW !Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Sadly abrams or whatever he's called turned Star Trek into such an unrecognised steaming pile of tulipe that if that film had of been the first or a tv pilot, it would have gone no further.
Very very disappointing. I'd say up there with the previous all time turkey trek film ST: The Final Frontier.I couldn't give two fornicators! Yes, really!

I like a lot of Star Trek but I agree that Babylon 5 is superior.Originally posted by AtW View Post+50 Xeno Geek Points

I find it hard to believe that anybody who'd ever watched B5 would ever say that. But not everybody cares about acting, or quality of writing, or any kind of realism. Some people even like the modern Dr Who.Originally posted by Zippy View Post
Funnily enough I watched one of the "new" original Star Trek's tonight. It seems they've not only digitally remastered it all, but redone the effects, which is good, but unfortunately also cropped it to widescreen which means it cuts off the tops of everybody's heads and looks crap.
It was one of the ones where they find some primative race worshiping a "god" that turns out to be a computer.
But I still think the original series was better than anything that came afterwards (although DS9 was pretty good too).
Will work inside IR35. Or for food.Comment

Babylon 5 has got a good story and episodes are linked to the main line - granted Season 4 and especially 5 ain't that good, still it is a top job.Originally posted by VectraMan View PostI find it hard to believe that anybody who'd ever watched B5 would ever say that.

Now I have not seen most of Star Trek, but I've seen enough to make a judgement on it.Comment

I liked Bab 5 because there were very few happy endings and because it told a story (naff 'filler' episodes aside). There was some good acting in there too. Interestingly Star Trek introduced story arcs after Bab 5.+50 Xeno Geek Points

Indeed. Who want's one off epidsodes these days ?
We want proper over-arcing story lines, in depth characters, etc.Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive.
