Kirk set the bar for Starfleet captains, Picard I think is a great follow-up to captain Kirk. In my opinion Star Trek: The Original had a lot more action. "TNG" is more of a drama.

Oolyan · 11-19-2006, 07:15 PM

Well that is true but in next gen they wanted Picard a thinker because they wanted more diplomatic solutions.

I prefer next generation cause the special effects are better. When you get older you tend to notice when they land on a planet on the original series, the baclgrounds all look the same.

Even though that might be true, Star Trek did span in to a huge franchise, even with crappy props.

Oolyan · 11-20-2006, 03:50 PM

they also did the psoitions better not just science officer or captain but also 1st oficer, counsler, and tacticle oficer and security. also not so many people die and more people want to be red shirts

Oh true that, and I wasn't saying Picard is a bad follow-up at all, he's grand, but nothing compared to Kirk, you know, just,

if you haven't seen it yet, go see Star Trek: Wrath of Khan.

'nough said. ^^

No way picard is the best captain of all time

Axel · 11-20-2006, 05:47 PM

I respect both opinions, everyone has their own.

But still, Picard did turn into the Borg.

Oolyan · 11-20-2006, 05:51 PM

and he F$#@&%@ ownd them he is the best and i think jhimian or what ever thinks the same

dappa · 11-21-2006, 09:21 AM

Anyone seen the pilot episodes of the original series? Those few episodes are rarely shown on t.v. Captain pike is the captain for those few episodes then kirk takes over after.

Oolyan · 11-21-2006, 10:21 AM

i have never even heard of them but i bet jhimian's dad has seen them cause his dad is a huge trek fan

dappa · 11-21-2006, 03:12 PM

There is an episode in the original series where kirk and crew are stopped by aliens who would like to take kirks visitor 'captain pike' back to there home planet to live out his final days with them.

This particular episode makes references to those pilot episodes when pike was a younger man and met those aliens when he used to be a captain.

In the pilot episodes only spock is in the original crew.

When the pilot episodes were concluded kirk was the new captain and there was a new crew but with spock still in it.

This is good trivia in case you are ever asked this question in a quiz

"Who is the original captain"?

Star Trek is awsome

Axel · 11-21-2006, 03:25 PM

Very interesting, btw, my dad loves the original series but, he grew up watching TNG and Voyager.

Oolyan · 11-26-2006, 03:51 PM
