The more I read about Roddenberry, the less I like about him, both as a creator/showrunner and as a person.

 That's funny. The more I know about him, the more I respect him. Because he wasn't perfect, like so many fanboys try to believe. He was a flawed human being, he was an alcoholic who had sex with every actress he hired, and at the same time he was a loving family man. He would encourage his writers to go wild with his stories and at the same time he could be a real dick to them when they wanted to go too far. He had a wonderful relationship with the fans and the actors, but a horrible relationship with the studio executives. As a writer he wrote the best Star Trek stories. And at the same time the worst Trek stories.

I like him because he WASN'T perfect.

Darn ever changing internet. There used to be a site that did a shot by shot break down of every single change in the Remastered episodes. Can't find it anymore.


 I hate self-promotion but maybe you'd like my youtube channel : https://www.youtube.com/user/TrekkieChannel



startrek.com used to have detailed breakdown of all the changed scenes in the good old times before it started to suck


Don't they have a good list of those at Memory Alpha?

 Really? I can't find anything like that

I still love Nemesis, and I don't care who knows it!  Yes it's different and not exactly formula star trek, but there's just something about the tense and almost creepy ambiance that appeals to me.  Plus I LOVE the starfields in this movie in particular.  The one in the last space battle with the green tints to it always drew amazed me, especially when I saw it in the theater.

 Stuart Baird, is that you?

What is your personal Star Trek canon?
Time

TOS is great, except of 99% of the third season episodes.

TAS - a couple of great episodes, a couple of horrible episodes.

The Motion Picture - a very long episode pretending to be a Star Trek version of A Space Odyssey

The Wrath of Khan - excellent movie

The Search For Spock - only good segments are the comedy scenes on Earth and the destruction of the Enterprise, the rest is shit

The Voyage Home - brilliant movie

The Shatner One (I can't remember the name right now which clearly shows the impact it had on me ) - a few good scenes, a lot of really bad scenes horribly edited together

The Undiscovered Country - another brilliant movie

TNG - slow start (in these days it would be canceled during the middle of the first season), but it gets better and better, the last 3 seasons are just brilliant

DS9 - unfortunately I started to like the show only after they came up with the Dominion war, which is kind of sad

VOY - crap. I never liked it. I mean 7of9's boobs are nice to watch, but the rest? A bunch of shitty stories about uninteresting (and a lot of times annoying) characters

ST Generations - crap which makes absolutely no sense. I don't know why people claim the Shatner One is the worst Trek movie, this one is much worse.

ST First Contact - a great fun sci fi action flick

ST Insurrection - a very long episode. Not bad, but not exceptionally good either

ST Nemesis - horrible piece of shit which makes absolutely no sense at all

Enterprise - I liked the first season, a couple of second season episodes, and the third season. Season 4 was absolutely horrible, and I was shocked to find out how many people claim that it's the best one.

Star Trek : The Star Trek - horrible piece of shit which makes no sense at all. The only thing I liked was the main music theme

Star Trek Into Darkness - a much worse rip-off of Wrath Of Khan. But at least it's better than JJTrek, I could enjoy it as an action movie (but not as a Star Trek movie)
