Because of that you missed on the whole Dominion War series of story arcs.
You fool.


Ha!

My wife really got into DS9 more than I did. I hear plenty of gripes about
Enterprise, but I think the writing has gotten better. Plus, it's the only
new Trek out there.

To be honest, DS9 had some of the gutsiest stories of any Trek. Enterprise
is a mixed bag, but it is a much improved step up from the crap that was
Voyager.

One time I was watching Voyager and realized that the captain woman
ran the ship like she was a middle-school hall monitor. What a dull
stiff bitch.

Another time I was watching Babylon 5 and the elves were arguing about
the price of Grakulan ale. What thu...?

The new season of Star Trek is getting away from the cerebral bull****
and sickbay visits and time warps and Vulcan mating customs to a theme
of earth vs the evil alien alliance.

I thought the new plot direction was a good move when I heard about it
a few weeks ago....now I just realized that, in addition to trying to
boost ratings, it is also a 911 thing. Anyway it is like the first
series Bakula has been in that ever got renewed....

Quantum Leap ran for 5 seasons.

"That is like" 4 renewals, if my math is like correct...... :-)

True some enterprise episodes werent very good, but that was true of all of the
series.

Even TNG had some bombs.

"Masks" was pretty bad (Something is wrong with Data!
Again!) but I think the two worst episodes were "Sub Rosa",
a Twilight Zone ghost story masquerading as Star Trek, and
"Night Terrors" which involved the well-trodden ground of
the various crewmembers losing their mental faculties, the
Enterprise being stuck dead in space, an unknown alien
presence, and Troi getting mysterious telepathic visions
that most of the audience figured out right away but which
took the crew another 30 minutes to decipher.

....And then there was the episode that no other Trek series ever
attempted again - "Shades of Grey", aka "So It's Come To This: A TNG
Clip Show!" That one's considered *the* worst TNG episode by far.
