Trying to insight more Trek mania again, eh Alan? If I save one more Star Trek photo to my PC I won’t even be able to type my name without getting another “Low Disc Space” message. I’ve got photos of every Warbirds, Birds of Pray, and every class of star ship, shuttle, and runabout ever shot on film. I’ve even got ones of access conduits, tricorders and Vick Fontain… Try that for being driven to obsession by MSNBC’s last mentioned this little tidbit of Trek news! There’s got to be a Paramount/MSNBC connection here somewhere…

Since no Trek fan would be worth his weight in isolinear chips without plugging his favorite series, I might as well say that DS9 was the best series. They had unbelievably good acting (see Far Beyond The Stars, Whispers, Dramatis Personae, Duet…) and more heated battles than all the other series’ combined. Man, they knew how to blow stuff away on that show… Did you ever see the one where 500 Klingons attacked the station?? Avery Books just might be my favorite actor. The latter seasons of TNG were certainly to die for and as for Voyager, I never thought that Seven of Nine ever had anything on Captain Janeway. Apart from the “Wow! Factor” (not to be confused with a warp factor) of commanding women in uniform, she played an awesome/much respected role. Usually episodes with a time or identity twist are the most rewarding. Did you ever see the one where the Enterprise was caught in a causality loop? How about when Beverly Crusher was caught in a Warp Bubble???? Man that was good!

P.S. Oh, us fever-pitched Treki fans we’ll surely test out that new online auction system of theirs REAL good! They won’t know what hit them for a month…

Yea, I have to agree with this. Last time I looked, most of the trekkies that exist are up to speed with computers and the Internet, at the very least. I can see hundreds if not thousands of people wanting to get in on some of those things, and the fact that the last test they did only used 15 people has me worried. Time will tell I guess.

And since it came up, I might as well rank the series, although I'll spare you the essay on why.
TNG > Voyager > Enterprise > TOS > DS9

I would love to test the auction site, but I fear everything will be out of my budget. I too think that DS9 was the best out of all the shows, but I loved every series. I have to say though, that the Enterprise A in the movies was my Favorite ship. I would love to beable to have that ship they used in the movie.
