Mar 14 omniart commented on Which Is The Best Star Trek Series?.

DS9 is the best Star Trek series for people who don't like Star Trek. Screw a peaceful vision of humanity, let's have War! Moral compromise! It must be better because it's darker. TNG had the Enterprise crew play many wonderful cat-and-mouse games with the Romulans, but the Enterprise never got into a space battle with the Romulan warbird. DS9 gives many stupid space battles.

I like many of DS9's characters, and I generally can't stand Troi, but Troi's presence as a counselor on the Enterprise is far more of a radical imagining than anything DS9 ever comes up with.

And @4, the Star Trek: The Motion Picture is both great science fiction and tediously boring. Voyager is just boring.

So to paraphrase, puns are a constant irritation.

Sly is the best.

Also great, "Thank You Friends" by Big Star.

I go there often but am not quite a regular, so I'm not on a first-name basis with people there yet. But the staff are welcoming and interesting. It's incredibly sad that this happened at one of Seattle's best neighborhood hangouts.

Earth's future is smoggy and overpopulated: it's a dirty, crowded city. The family's move to Terra Nova is a gussied-up flight to the suburbs, complete with new house, cars, boring family drama, and solid white majority.

Terra Nova is a new world that won't repeat mankind's mistakes? Sure. Whatever you say.

What do you get if you cross an insomniac, an agnostic, and a dyslexic?

Someone who stays up all night wondering if there's a dog.

But, seriously, if a bumper sticker needs to be Googled in order to be understood, then it has failed as a bumper sticker.
