So I've decided to watch STNG startting with season one all the way through
to season seven. I'm getting the discs from Netflix. Lets see if the have them all or I have to go to the library to get any missing discs like I did with other series I wanted to watch. I'm just on season one disc 2 which should arrive tommorrow. I should be able to watch the four in one day and
get it back in the mail Friday. Hopefully they will ship Monday and I'll
have the next disc next Tuesday. I should average about a disc and a half
a week. I figure about three weeks per season I should be able to run
through them all in a little over 5 months if my math is good. I watch on
this schedule and they have all the discs in stock and ship on time.

I also was thinking, "why did they have to end this at 7 years"? They could have continued the series. Hey look at series like NCIS, NCIS LA, NCIS New Orleans, Jag, Hawaii 50, and many westernes that will or have run well over 10 years. They could have continued and just "moved characters along" in their Star Fleet careers or as they passed away or decided to leave the show.

And why did it always have to be about the Enterprise? Voyager was back they could do stories about them, also Deep Space Nine, introduced new characters, enemies, friends ect. Could have made it the standard about Trek in the "original timeline". Could have resolved the "Sisco" issue in Deep Space Nine where they left him in "limbo". More with the Borg, Species 8472, other "Q"s (Just don't bring back the Kazon!)

Could have called it something like Star Trek the Continuing Generations.

Maybe if they did that we would not be having to deal with the alternate timline that we have now with the Movies. (And wouldn't those stores in the orignal timeline with those actors made a great part of the series?) I would not have minded seeing more of early Kirk, Spock and the crew.

I liked that episode of "The Orville" with Charlize Theron in it.

I wonder why it wasn't named "The Wilbur"? (-:

I didn't want to like it after the whole Paramount/Axanar affair.
Wasn't a huge fan of Season 1. Love Season 2, primarily because of
Captain Pike's character.

I'd love to see a TOS prequel/Discovery spinoff with Pike, Spock and
Number 1 on Enterprise's first 5-year mission - there's a lot of area
to cover.



... When in doubt, predict that the trend will continue.

I was excited about The Orville, I didn't like the first 2 episodes, but I actually have been watching a few of those on Hulu, I kinda like it too

I noticed that recently. I just asked the author of Enigma how do I set the realname flag. The config file is in (H)JSON, my config file is over 3500 lines! It's still a alpha, he just replied to me, It will be fixed when I get home tonight, or for sure this weekend....

That was the first episode I saw on Hulu after I saw the first 2 and stopped watching it, then I backtracked and watched all the rest to catch up... lol That was a good one!

Pike's character.

Yes, season 2 is MUCH better than 2. The whole "Red Angel" storyline is pretty intense! I DO like the character makeup in this series. Alot of the other ones
were 'male dominated, caucasian' Now, there are, IMO a equal amount of females with power, admirals, capt. and alot more 'races'...


I would love to see something with relation to TOS too, that was still one of my favorites. I've recently watched a few of the original ST's, and it's funny, you can tell how that era (The 70's) was. Capt. Kirk was a TOTAL lady's
man with ANY alien race! hehe... I'm surprised he didn't catch some sort of alien STD! :-)

It's a little far out for me, but the kids love it. My favorite character was the security chief, but she left the series.

The first two seasons of Star Trek Discovery is out on DVD on Netflix. I have it in my queue but for some reason the first disc of season one is on short wait and has been for a couple of months now. That seems to be the hold up. Once I get that first disc I can start to get the others which don't seem to
be on a wait list.

This iths only way I would watch it. I would never pay commercial TV to subscribe to a series.

Well I don't think that is is going to go away too soon. Don't forget that with 7.1 sound you can't stream that. So the only way if you have a 7.1 or
7.2 sound system you need either HD or 4K, (and eventually 8K), media to play 7.x ATMOS systems.

Well after about two months I finally got Star Trek DIscovery, Season One, Disc One from Netflix. I reserve judgement on the "New TreK" until after I watch the first two seasons. Though, I see a lot of people and aliens die!
