[QUOTE]Originally posted by Alshrim Dax: [QB] TOS has lasted 30 years .... You can't argue with that kinda track record ... I think that maybe you should record those original eps and see what we're all talking about, Fabrux before striking out so vehemently at Savar. He's got a point ... Back then .. It wasn't about making the ratings .. Well.. not so much anyway.. it was about making a show that was different than anything else on TV. That's what it was about ... Seeking out strange new worlds was something that most Picture Studios were afraid to touch back then. TOS has a loyal following for a reason .. TNG too ... it grew on us TOS ppl after a while. Now .. I'm a really big Voyager fan... I like the show, I've been loyal to it since Ep #1 .. But let me tell you, there are simply some repeats I WILL not watch ... TOS .. I'll watch whatever repeat happens to be on, and I'll watch the full hour of it .. why? Cuz it still has that sense of freshness to it .. You know that when they did that ep, it was the first time anyone had DARED to do it in that day! Voyager? DS9, and even some TNG, were recaps of an old theme based on the Original Series .. sure there had to be some arcs, but that's not what I'm talking about .. I'm talking about eps that had nothing to do with one another,,,, but still had the same type of story line .. VOYAGER and DS9 are both great series !! I still record old eps of DS9 every Monday .. and I watch the ones that interest me .. but here's something that I find interesting which tends to back up Savar's claims here ... For me PERSONALLY, I record all 4 series .. TOS, TNG, DS9 and VOYAGER religeously... I'll watch every TOS ep .. no matter what, and I've seen them all about 50 times each.. TNG: I'll watch about 80% of the eps .. the good ones .. DS9: I'll watch about 75% of the eps I record, so long as they keep my interest .. Voyager: Very rarely will I watch a repeat !! The freshness of the stories aren't as crisp the closer you get to the year 2000. The story-lines almost seem forced out of the writers .. I think that is the general idea Baloo and Savar are trying to convey here. (and I wanted this to be a short post) [IMG]http://flare.solareclipse.net/smile.gif[/IMG] Savar --> Smiley's --> : and ) Welcome aboard! [/QB][/QUOTE]
