Okay, Ent now has more votes then TNG.

[Sionnach Glic]

Okay, now this has just gotten plain wrong.

[Monroe]

Excellent. The heresy is spreading.

Chaos Trekies will rule

[Mikey]

Forget Tyrus. Call in a Black Templars crusade!

[Sionnach Glic]

I think it may be too late for that, Mikey, we have no choice but to order and Exterminatus on the planet.

[Mikey]

OK by me! load cyclonic torpedoes, and bring the array to bear...

[Blackstar the Chakat]

Okay, now this has just gotten plain wrong.

You could just admit that TNG stank worse then Enterprise.

I still don't get what you find so great about TNG.

Have you watched any of it past the first two seasons?

It featured some phenomenal performaces by Spiner and Stewart; it raised issues and ideas that made Star Trek a relevant franchise again; it set the foundation that allowed for further movies as well as DS9, VOY, and ENT. Granted, the first two seasons weren't good, and the disparity in all of TNG between the good eps and the bad was perhaps greater than any other 'Trek series; but eps like AGT, BoBW, "The Inner Light," and "The Offspring" were classics not just of 'Trek but of television. In addition, there was greater depth of character than any other 'Trek series.

I think so. Does it count if I fell asleep in the middle?

Uh...if you say so...I didn't see any of that. I thought they all seemed generic and boring.

[Reliant121]

erm...I personally havn't watched much TNG because I can't for the life of me find it on TV and i cannot afford the dvd box sets atm. So my vote would have been for ENT.

[Monroe]

This may not go with logic too well but TNG had a lot of errors in it. I say that because there's a lot of things they introduced that common sense says they TOS should have talked about them or they should have already been around. The Ferengi for example should not have been 'discovered' in TNG. They should have already been established.

[Captain Picard's Hair]

I think the general idea is that as time moves forward, a greater share of the galaxy is mapped and more species known. There has been a lot of Fed expandion and mapping and first contacts in the quarter century and change between TOS and TNG to explain a lot of this. Apparently, Ferengi territory lies near Cardassian space near the periphery of the TNG era Federation.

[Monroe]

But wouldn't a trade species have made contact with the Federation earlier? Especially when they're so close? I would understand if the Ferengi were in the deep Beta Quadrant or Alpha Quadrant and far flung traders made it to the Federation but the Ferengi are relatively close. Another explaination could be that the Ferengi society was rescently redesigned. Like they had a Glorious Revolution that made their society change to that of merchants. But they didn't, they've been traders for a long time so why weren't they known to the Federation?

[Captain Seafort]

There's plenty of evidence that the Ferengi were operating around the fringes of the Federation pre-TNG. It's possible that they were either deliberately avoiding the Feds, or making a point of avoiding Starfleet in particular and trading with outlying Fed colonies as part of the black market.

[RK_Striker_JK_5]

I love ENT and I think TNG's superior.
