Captain Logan, I was wondering if you have ever considered doing a Trek Movie Rewind? I would be really interested in you your opinions on them; Or maybe even certain episodes. That would also be cool. Thanks :)

@predator959 If SFDebris and others weren't already doing really great series on those, I probably would, but I don't have a lot to add in a more formal, critical analysis that hasn't already been said.

@Geekvolution thats actully what seems to be stoping alot of reviewers from reviewing certain things. and well i dont buy it. i also dont buy the excuse oh i have no real interest in it or the time to get interested in it and branch out. or heck the nostial critic giving his 10 top movies he wont review because he actully does like them. however i will say i am glad sfrbis is going to be branching out into stargate. cuz i was thinking about doing that myself.

@thewewguy8t88 The problem for me is that if I see a fantastic and in-depth review, I don't neccessarily want to reveiw it myself because I don't want to just hit all the same notes. Also, if I totally agree with a reviewer nd he makes most or all of the points I would have, my putting out a review of the same movie would be redundant.

Although, since I've set out to review every superhero movie with Rewind I do have to do that sometimes.

So is the chanel in good standing now? Or is it ok if it goes just a few seconds over 15 minutes?

[Geekvolution]

@TheComixkid2099 lol unfortunately, no. We'll see what happens in the next couple weeks- there's a glitch I've read about where you can't get your unlimited time back until you have the same number of videos you had before you removed any. So after we're passed 666 again, maybe it'll return. And no, the irony of that number is not lost on me :)

I think the problem with the first season of TNG is that they got too far away from TOS. They completely lost TOS's humility. Sure Kirk was arrogant but he knew that he was flawed and he admitted his mistakes.

Picard on the other hand, was an insufferable arrogant ass all the time. He was lecturing Q about how friggin' awesome humans were.

Plus they made things way too casual. Sure there's the whole utopian vision but come on, a starship is still a massive dangerous machine.

@Geekvolution you do have a really good point and honestly i understand what can be said that has not been said before about so many movies sometimes. the reason i said what i said though was well i have seen people mange to review the same things several times and give their own personal spin on things. but i do understand it can be really hard at times to revirew certain things.

[thewewguy8t88]

i actully loved code of honner my favorite episode! jk. but the frist time i saw it it was not nearly as awful as i remberd it being now that i saw sfdbris review it. which is ironic concidering i had a really lame exprence and was only sitting through that episode because i wanted to watch something after and thought because i was watching tv frist i could continue watching tv but no my mom decided to kick me off to watch her stupid show. plus she totaly missunderstood the episode.

I had a notion to rewatch Star Trek a few weeks ago. I decided to go chronologically and start with Enterprise. I gave up after 4 episodes (Disc 1). I am now mulling just re-watching DS9

@Geekvolution: After watching Season 1 of TNG, did both of you expect Data to become a popular character on the show?

[johnnyrockerfella]

its kind of ironic, how star trek began.... as exploring space.. kinda like hippies in space..

eventually becoming militaristic.. where in voyager if ya break the rules the captain will fire at you.... its that militaristic thinking, .. i dont think ppl understand... just how freedom is lost in the future.. the only person with any real freedom is the captain.. and everyone else is just there for the ride

[GoliathAngelus]

I would like to know from you guys what did you think of the latest Star Trek movie that came out?.

I did find the movie great or at liest not bad at all but maybe i am not such a big fan and haven t many criticism as you Trekkies have : )
