What the hell is this Trektoday site, and is it authorized by Paramount? And whether it is or it isn't, have their rumors & predictions been correct in the past?

Excuse me, Duckie, would you mind NOT trying to actually talk about Trek in this very serious topic in this General Trek Discussion forum? It's totally inappropriate. 8)
Numbers, Herr Anomaly?

You know, I was just thinking. . . no-one liked TNG or DS9 when they started. But something happened to make them 'turn a corner' and they really took off. You know, "Best of Both Worlds," "The Jem'Hadar" - both season 3 cliffhangers I believe. After that, both shows never looked back.
Yoyager in its turn had a major season 3 cliffhanger - "Scorpion." So how did it turn out different? Did they, in planning their 'takeoff,' put too much reliance on their First Stage engine, one Seven of Nine by name?
*Darkstar speak* GREAT METAPHOR!!
Sorry. 8)

Actually, the Jeh'Hadar was the season 2 cliff-hanger.
But it still holds. While BOBW is the point where everyone sat up and noticed TNG, the changes certainly started with season 3. Aside from the obvious visual changes (such as the new uniforms), the characters started to gel a lot more. Wesley wasn't half as annoying as he used to be. And we got some classics that would have stood proud in any of the later seasons. Yesterdays's Enterprise, Tin Man, Sins of the Father, Hollow Pursuits, etc.
With TNG and DS9, season 3 was the start of the attempted changes, which were then followed up on in season 4. In DS9's case, the season 3 experiment was the Defiant, and the shift towards the political side of the Alpha Quadrant.
You can be Wesley, as long as I get to be Spike.
And Monty can be Dru.
No, wait, hang on...

I liked TNG from the beginning. I was only seven at the time, though. And I remember liking DS9 right from the start too, but it's harder to judge that, because DS9 reruns have always been few and far between here.

I must have been older (since I am a whole mighty year older than the mighty Simon. And in those days, we got Trek episodes decades after the US. TOS didn't start showing until 1981).
I started to watch TNG because my dad watched it, but I got hooked with Yesterday's Enterprise (but then again, I'd only been watching from the very end of season 2. I do remember Wil Wheaton being on Going Live. *shudder*)
With DS9, I really liked the pilot, but my interest dropped off during season 1, and I wasn't watching it by the end. Later, I heard they were introducing a starship into DS9, and I read a bit on the Dominion. So I deceided to but the season 2 cliff-hanger, I really liked it, and stuck with it from there.
Voyager hasn't really done anything that's made me a diligent fan. It's okay, but there's no way I'm spending money on videos of it.

I don't even spend money on videos on any Trek series unless I see a REAL great buy such 2 for 5 dollars.

1981? Unlikely, given I remember watching it on TV in 1974. The first showing on British TV was in fact in 1969 or 1970. TNG started here in 1990, and DS9 in 1995. Voyager 1996. Series V? Probably 2003 (Sky will have it 2002).

I thought the "We didn't get Trek episodes for decades after the US" made it obvious enough.
Besides, I was trying to get some people to believe me. I = evil.
Worringly, I also = listening to Never Forget.
