[QUOTE]Originally posted by Thoughtchopper: [QB] That sums up certain episodes of Voyager for me. I enjoy TOS for a completely different reason than TNG: TOS is really ginchy. I can't think of another American show that was quite as bizarre as Star Trek. How many times did an alien recreate some kind of surreal enviroment based on Earth history for the crew of the Enterprise? You had an alien Napoleon trying to outwit Kirk, which is quite a bit unlike Wagon Train. And so on. Really, the whole thing reminds me of the ramblings of Timothy Leary, minus the intensive drug references. TNG initially got me because I like the characters. Reviewing the first season I find that I still like them--although they're all a little too perfect. Wesley Crusher being such a 50's space cadet has actually made me laugh out loud..."Gee! That power converter is really swell, Geordi!" It's the touch of Gene that made TNG quirky, and likable. It's optimistic stuff, there, and though you can see the sap running thick, it somehow doesn't get on your nerves. [/QB][/QUOTE]
