Comment by Gecko, Seth...brother of Richie! on June 26, 2009 at 2:33pm: A convention in Tulsa this weekend I think, Mirena Sirtis, Leonard Nemoy present. Word I heard any way.

Comment by Gecko, Seth...brother of Richie! on June 24, 2009 at 3:18am: O I did enjoy the drama of The X-files. But I never go back and re-watch them.

Comment by Gecko, Seth...brother of Richie! on June 24, 2009 at 3:16am: For me no comparison. ST is about hope, and a vision of the future, it's somewhat a goal set by Roddenberry. Yes it's entertaining, BSG was entertaining but I found all the characters pathetic by the end. At one point I was rooting for them all to be wiped out by a supernova or something.
ST had a message. Most sci-fi really doesn't. Star Wars had a quasi message as well, which was some what religious, but SW leans heavily into the fantasy genre, while ST generally tries to stay rooted in SCI-FI.
I put Roddenberry in the same category as Wells, Verne, Heinlein, Clark, etc....

Comment by Mriana on June 23, 2009 at 8:31pm: Except for B5 I think S.T. is better than than other SciFi shows. B5 however, is right up there with S.T. though.

Comment by Gecko, Seth...brother of Richie! on June 23, 2009 at 6:15pm: DVDs are the way to go if you can get the dough. It took us about 5 years, maybe 6, to collect the entire ST universe. And rarely a night goes by that a trek episode or ten doesn't get thrown in.
