What was your "Gateway" series? I saw latter half of Search for Spock on TV last Christmas, but it was JJ Abrams' Star Trek that got me hooked.

lol DS9

i keep meaning to watch something like TNG but i never get around to it

that said

Sisko > Picard > Kirk > Janeway >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Archer.

i strongly suspect that once i eventually work my through everything i'll still end up believing this

i didn't even know archer existed until a few days ago

Q >^^∞ Everybody

Yeah, I've watched all of TNG, TOS, and Voyager, but I couldn't borrow DS9 from my aunt due to the fact she doesn't have it. So I'm starting to buy series as I go, but so far it beats the shit out of Voyager, but TNG remains m favorite.

Also, my Aunt got me a special DVD collection of all the Q episodes. Q is the best thing about Star Trek, easily.

Q is great. He's an omnipotent all powerful being and he doesn't give a fuck. Truly a great man.

Technically speaking it was First Contact, but the series I watched first was Voyager. Janeway's a terrible captain, by the way. I mean, breaking the Prime Directive I can understand, but when doing so also strands your crew on the other side of the galaxy and you later go on to use the Prime Directive as a reason for why you can't use something to go home? Fuck that shit.

Certainly the most awesome deity in Sci Fi. While I like the Outer Gods of Lovecraft more, Q is somebody that would be awesome to know.

Also she could easily have gotten home the very first day. There is this radical invention called a time bomb.
1)Take a Photon Torpedo and rig it as a time bomb
2)Use Caretaker's array to send Voyager home,
3)Have time bomb detonate
4)??????
5)Save your crew seven years of your terrible leadership.

Any God-like being that pulls shit like this is cool in my boat. This remains the best moment in all of Star Trek.

That too. Maybe she was high when she did it.

And its not like they haven't rigged similar things up in the past. Hell if it was any captain that's been featured other than Janeway they would of done it and it would been a mediocre episode instead of terrible series. Although at least Voyager wasn't as bad Enterprise.

I know I am, but I give a fuck once in a while, I let Sisko live after he cold-cocked me, right?

Yeah, because that was so badass any attempt to punish him for it would have brought down the wrath of the universe itself.

That and Q lost a bet with the Prophets so he has no jurisdiction there pertaining to the Emissary.

And they had a show based on the ship itself? The first half of Enterprise's first season wasn't too bad, then they started the inane temporal cold war bullshit and I said.. I don't think so. Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home got me into it.

I prefer my explanation.

To be fair, she did bring back some pretty cool Borg-blasting tech from the Delta Quadrant.

Basically anybody with the stones to go up to the Borg could've done the same thing. The only reason she did it was because she didn't have a choice.

Ah, but as pointed out, she was the only captain stupid enough to get stranded in the Delta Quadrant. Any captain coming from the Alpha Quadrant probably would have just turned tail and ran at the first sign of Borg, as, I recall, Picard did during his first encounter.

Voyage Home remains the greatest Star Trek Film of all time. The Enterprise is blown up, we must return to Earth to face Court Martial, but earth is under attack by a giant ship broadcasting whale songs so we must slingshot around the sun backwards in time to the 80s to save a breeding pair of whales.

Piccard didn't even have a chance to run. The Cube was smashing his ship to pieces. The only reason he survived is because Q moved him back to where he was before.

What about those scientists who followed a cube around for-fucking-ever before finally getting busted?

He still ran like hell. And his experiences would probably make sure that no Federation ship got near Borg territory, given that and later experiences.

They were insane. Seriously, who takes a toddler on a trip which is a) exceptionally dangerous, as they probably knew, and b) isolated Seven (or whatever her pre-Borg name was) from the rest of society for the whole of her formative years? And anyway, their ultimate failure probably told people that the Borg were near impossible to outwit. So yeah, you'd probably still get the crazies chasing after Borg ships.

To be fair, they did do surprisingly well.

Their talents were put to waste. If you can invent technology that shields your ship from Borg sensors, they would have been of much more use back on Earth with the full resources of the Federation behind them.

[Technocratic Corporate Entities]

I love all the series, Spock, Kirk and Uhuru. Picard, Data & Worf...also dug Cue, 7of9, and the Borg in general, Captain Sisko, Odo, capt Archer, T'pol....yesssssssss
