All Five Star Trek's Comming to Netflix


Recommended Posts

Somehow I thought they were already available. The "news" there is that they were NOT already, to me. lol

Funny way they put it:

"In what could possibly be the best news ever for Netflix, Star Trek: The Next Generation and Star Trek: Deep Space 9 will start streaming in all their glorious glory later this year. In other >reasonably good< (lols) news, so will TOS, Voyager, and Enterprise."

Although there are actually six "TV Shows" Star Trek: The Animated Series (which i've not watched) is the sixth. Not to mention the one that never made it ST: Phase II which actually got to the stage were there is footage of the actors and engine room and other things.

Every time i think to post something is usually something controversial. This hopefully is not.

SoA is good. I'm actually watching that right now. Well not NOW, now, but then- now. =)

From a straight "quality" standpoint ST is just a mid-range show, probably on par with (ahem) SG1 or Farscape or some such, if you just look at it from a "happy fun time" standpoint. Even though I've watched all the episodes through Voyager at least X2 I dont kid myself. its a good show, with very good characters, but in the end its more of an emotional attachment / it has a whole 'backstory' / 'universe' behind it. If the ST brand, and the nerd-background-details aspects arent appealing, then its not going to rate very highly.

Just about any of the "good shows" on a per-episode basis have overall better writing, (SoA / The Sopranos/ Deadwood/ The Sheild / The Wire / BSG or any other highly rated show).

Sorta like comparing say The Bible to good XYZ Manga of the week. The manga is probably written better, is easier to follow and is more of a page turner only The True Believer will see the light. :p
