Guest, it's time once again for the massively important and exciting FoH Asshat Tournament!
Go here and give us your nominations!Who's been the biggest Asshat in the last year? Give us your worst ones!
Sorry, all of the Star Trek movies are fucking awful except for Khan. Can't believe you even mentioned Star Trek VI, was like a bad Agatha Christie novel. First Contact was good with the Borg, but the part on Earth where they're trying to convince the guy to fly his ship at warp speed to make first contact is beyond retarded.

I watched all Star Trek series and still sometimes watch random reruns on TV. Even Star Trek : Enterprise grew on me and i watched it all. The new remake movies suck ass imo: Who needs a crew of unlikable characters in an alternate universe doing dumb shit? If the new series is anything like that, i'll pass.

It sounds like a great way to ensure that every season lives up to the exceedingly high standards set by the first season of any scifi series.

Yea, the chemistry is basically awful in the first season of all the Trek series.It sounds like a great way to ensure that every season lives up to the exceedingly high standards set by the first season of any scifi series.

God, I watched Encounter at Farpoint and some others of TNG a few weeks back and I remembered back to the 80s when I watched it on TV on release.
Back then I was so hyped for Star Trek I loved it, but watching it again now I wondered how the series didn't get canceled off the bat.
Everything was night and day compared to say a season 3 episode. Acting, chemistry, even special effects, sound and lighting all vastly improved.
Still sad Tera Nova got canceled in season 1. I think all Sci-fis should be 2-3 seasons minimal. Short version I agree with Palum. Season 1 is just awkward for any cast in any series to begin with. Expect bad, look at the basics to determine possibility.

Yeah, put me in for the "this sounds like a terrible idea" as far as a new crew/ship every season. TNG would have sucked if they had ditched JLP and crew after just one season. Part of the Star Trek allure is the sentiment that gets built for the characters over time.
I saw that episode at a convention in Tampa as a 15 year old. It was fun but i thought it wouldn't last. Thank god it got better.

My first Comic Con in 20 years was at the KC one. Since then, I've been on a tear, getting family pics to frame in the mancave. So far, it's been Stan Lee, Manu Bennett, William Shatner, the current Dr. Who, Jon Bernthal (Punisher) and Joffrey. You can tell the ones that are into the culture and the ones that are just in it for a paycheck. We went to go get a family pic with Iris from the Flash, and you could tell she wasn't into it. We turned right back around with her. Maybe she has some sort of social disorder?

It could work, but the writing has to be there. It's a bold strategy, cotton.
A big part of Star Trek is the chemistry between the crew/actors. But it can also drag them down. You have episodes that use that chemistry as a crutch, and you're not really watching Star Trek you're watching Days of our Lives: In SPACE.
But then you have every Quark episode EVER in which he plays the greedy space jew with a hidden heart of gold pressed latinum... and i'm ok with the occasional Friendzone Bashir pines over Dax... again.
