OK a couple of random comments to all the crap from the last 2 pages :

- Kirk NEVER raped an alien/robot chick. It never even got CLOSE to a rape. I have no idea which show were you watching but it wasn't Star Trek

- what's wrong with women in miniskirts? I never had a problem with them. The audiences never had a problem with them. Even the actresses never had a problem with them! (Except the woman who played Gary Seven's assistant, she was the only one who ever complained). Is this what America has become in the last 50 years? A tyranny of political correctness?

- TNG aliens - I have never ever seen so realistically looking aliens as in TNG/DS9/VOY. Westmore's team did an amazing job. Unfortunately they started to do CG aliens in Voyager and later Enterprise, they look horrible. I'm also really glad they used humanoids, it's the most probable way how aliens would look like.

- no internal conflict on TNG - it's actually a GOOD thing. That's the reason why millions of people all over the planet LOVE the show. BECAUSE the main characters are friends, and the conflict always comes from the outside. It also adds a further element of reality. If you're away in space for 10 years you simply MUST like the people you meet on a daily basis. Otherwise you'd get crazy.

- Babylon 5 - I hate the look of the show. The colors, the lightning ... why is everything so blue? The makeup is really lame, why are centauri men just fat guys with weird punk hair and all their females are skinheads? At least G'Kar's makeup looks interesting. And the CGI looks HORRIBLE. It looked HORRIBLE by 90's standards, and it looks even worse by today's standards. However I LOVE the show. The characters are highly likable, the stories are great, I love the complexity of the show...
