I've actually seen most of them, now. I've been watching them obsessively for the last few weeks. I just haven't seen End of Time or Season 5 because they're not on Netflix yet.

Well, I mean of the revival. I'm not really planning on watching the old episodes.

ljosberinn 09-07-2010 03:40 PM



Haha, nice. I also obsessively watched all of the new series when I first started watching two years ago. :D
The old series is actually really good, the little I've seen of it, and most of the people I know who've watched it, or parts of it, really like it. It's obviously different from the new series, but better than I'd expected.



Cami 09-07-2010 03:45 PM

I might try it out sometime. There are just oh so many episodes.

ljosberinn 09-07-2010 03:52 PM



I know, it's overwhelming, isn't it? x___x I decided to just start at the beginning and slowly work my way through it, haha. So I've pretty much just seen a few of the very first serials. They're a bit slow, but otherwise quite good. And all in black and white with adorable special effects!



Cami 09-07-2010 04:10 PM

XD Adorable is kind of a funny word to use for special effects. It's like my grandmother's tendency to use the word "cute" when she has nothing good to say.

"That's... cute, dear."

ljosberinn 09-07-2010 04:29 PM



Well, they're from the 60s. So they are adorable. Just like early Star Trek. >.<



Cami 09-07-2010 04:49 PM

I haven't seen any old star trek episodes either. XD Or any star trek episodes. I did see the new movie, and I liked it.

I just saw this on Play.com and think it's genius. Not like I'd pay £18 for it, but still.

Dude That's AMAZING!

WANT!

KatMagenta 09-07-2010 05:52 PM

At first I thought it was just a more realistic sonic screwdriver than the plasticky toy ones they sell for kids to play with but this is actually functional. Not like I have ever changed a plug or saved the universe.

Hallo Cami. Glad you've enjoyed what you've seen so far. =)

My flatmate came home with a friend so I disappeared for tea and toast with them.

ljosberinn 09-07-2010 06:08 PM



I've been watching Star Trek: The Original Series. It is amaaaazing. Seriously. I hadn't seen any of it either till I saw the new film, fell in love with it then and decided I'd start watching the series.. from the beginning..



KatMagenta 09-07-2010 06:31 PM

TOS is probably the version of Star Trek I've seen the least of. At some point or another I think I've seen most of The Next Generation onwards. XD

It's sonic screwdriver day!

Cami 09-07-2010 06:41 PM

I do this odd thing. I absolutely love sci-fi. I love almost everything Sci-fi I watch or read. But I also have this English major snottiness towards sci-fi. So I'll be all, "Oh, that's clearly not worth watching" until I actually watch it. <<,, Then I love it.

TaiyoTsuki 09-07-2010 11:52 PM

Waaaah! I want a Wii and a DS even more now! :eager:

Connielass 09-08-2010 03:36 AM

I grew up watching TOS.
Then TNG.

After that, everything went downhill, and the subsequent series just couldn't hold my attention.

I must say, the cast of the movie did an excellent job at capturing the personalities of the original characters.

::fangirls over Karl Urban::


Ahem.

TaiyoTsuki 09-08-2010 04:07 AM

@ Connie: Yes, they did. At first I though they wouldn't be able to pull off the same magic as the original actors, but they did it. When I was watching that movie, I felt the same magic as with the original Star Trek. It was an amazing rendition!

Aaand the next movie is coming up next year! :squee:

Connielass 09-08-2010 04:53 AM

Mm, nope. Not til 2012.

TaiyoTsuki 09-08-2010 05:01 AM

What? I've been hearing next year. Are they being asses and depriving us of the magic that is Star Trek?

Connielass 09-08-2010 05:16 AM

According to IMDB

Artifex 09-08-2010 11:52 AM

wait, I think I'm missing something. Does Doctor Who have a movie?

ljosberinn 09-08-2010 12:54 PM



Old Doctor Who has a couple of films, but we're talking about the Star Trek film that came out last year.



KatMagenta 09-08-2010 04:19 PM

The old Doctor Who films have a certain charm to them.

I haven't seen the new Star Trek film yet. The kid who plays Chekov is cute mind.

Darke 09-08-2010 06:45 PM

I'm still not sure what I think about the latest Star Trek film. I think it was quite enjoyable and the characters were good..but the plot was just incredibly poor. Hopefully the sequel will be a lot better in that regard.

Connielass 09-08-2010 07:03 PM

Useless bits of trivia:

Anton Yelchin, who played Pavel Chekov in Star Trek, has also guest-starred in Criminal Minds (Sex, Birth, Death), and played the title role in Charlie Bartlett.

Karl Urban, who played Doc McCoy, played multiple roles on Xena: Warrior Princess and Hercules: The Legendary Journeys. Roles included Julius Caesar and Cupid.

TaiyoTsuki 09-09-2010 04:29 AM

Here's yet another useless bit of trivia:

Also on Criminal Minds, Jonathan Frakes (Commander William Riker) guest-starred on there one time. As the villian.
And Star Trek TNG was on right after.

I'm officially a moron. :gonk:

Connielass 09-09-2010 04:05 PM

Fraker was also the voice of David Xanatos on Gargoyles.
