Dude, Worf and his intolerable son are fucking Hamlet compared to the original series.

The second season's the best season IMO. But if you want some real star trek magic you gotta watch the original series with the updated special effects. It's too cool; the awesome dynamics of the old series characters with special effects that don't look like garbage.
I think Data Dong is going to be my new stage name

I almost feel like this should go in the confession thread. I hate the original series, honestly. It's just soooooo goddamn cheesy, and I don't mean the effects. It's like a collection of the worst acting performances in the history of acting. Marry that to some of the worst dialog writing ever, and it's a match made in hell. When I watch it, I feel like I'm watching some horrible student-run show on a local public access channel.

I think Hamlet shouldn't ever be used in the same sentence as any Star Trek.
It's degrading to Gene's legacy.

You may loathe 'er, but she's at least a good actress.

how can you not like whoopi
that's fuckin rad that she's on the next generation,when does her character enter the show?
I read a thing a while ago that when the original star trek first aired, a young whoopi goldberg shouted for her mom to come look because there was a black woman on tv that wasn't playing a maid. she felt like she could do anything she wanted after that

She shows up some time during season 2. She's there for most of seasons 3-5 at least.
