    Did you include the TOS animated series in your runthrough? If not, you hav 24 more 30 minute (well 22 minute run time) episodes to go through. You could also tack on the TOS and TNG feature films. :eek::D

    We sure did :) It started on page 12. We also watched all the TOS and TNG movies along the way.

    Cheers,

    Episode 733 - TNG Movie Era - "Nemesis" - 12/09/2002
    After the Enterprise is diverted to the Romulan planet of Romulus, supposedly because they want to negotiate a truce, the Federation soon find out the Romulans are planning an attack on Earth.

    Enjoy!

    i have seen all the trek episodes at least half a dozen times over the past 4 years, but it is not the only series i have seen more then a fair few times, stargate sg1, atlantis, universe, farscape, BSG 2004, babylon 5 and crusade to name a few. i found universe and crusade, despite them being canceled, they were the most engaging.

    anyway, i'm going to restart the trek journey again soon in order of time by series starting with enterprise. make sure i missed nothing :P.

    That horrible, horrible movie?

    I tend to agree. Nemesis was to the TNG-cast, what The Final Frontier was for the TOS-cast. Both respectively, the worst movie of the series for their cast(s).

    Most people tend to agree, that in Trek, odd-numbered (1,3,5 etc) movies are bad/worse, while even-numbered (2,4,6 etc) movies are good/better. In terms of the TNG-era movies, I enjoyed most of them. Generations certainly had it's flaws/inaccuracies, and the senseless death of Kirk, but it was still a pretty good movie. First Contact had 2 "staples" of Trek; Time-travel and the Borg. Can't really go wrong with combining both, now can you? Insurrection, again had it's flaws, but it also probably was the most "human" of the TNG movies. And for a change, it involved saving a planet other than Earth.

    Nemesis on the other hand, was so full of inaccuracies, I wouldn't even know where to begin. The "humanity" of Trek was all but gone. They tried to re-create the "Wrath of Khan" in the guise of the "Wrath of Shinzon", only to have the plot fall flat on it's a--. Ironically, both movies ended up killing off a major character. In Nemesis however, that death was unnecessary and stupid. Instead of having "Action Picard" heroically beam over SOLO, to fight Shinzon, Picard should've ordered a full boarding party of security crewmembers, to either capture or kill Shinzon, and deactivate the Thalaron weapon. Said boarding party could've made an identical "space jump" that Data did, while wearing EV suits.

    I believe, Nemesis broke the pattern of uneven-numbered/even-numbered bad/good movies, in the sense that I rather enjoyed the (11th) movie that is the 2009 Star Trek film. I have no major issues with the 11th movie, since it's estabilished early on in the movie, that the events take place in an alternate reality (parallel timeline).

    I think most fans went to the stargate franchise after star trek went off especially since most of the actors had a few episodes in stargate after they got cancelled.. that and warehouse 13 which I am loving right now with Brent Spiner playing the villain :) (Edit: You can just feel the character Lore when he plays him too LOL)

    I do not know what I will do after the Journey ends maybe play more STO or start watching a new TV series. Anyone have any recommendations of what to watch? I am currently thinking of watching all 9 seasons of NCIS.

    I highly recommend the "9 seasons of NCIS" (Season 10 starts on September 25th). I've watched NCIS from beginning to the most recent episode, and have enjoyed each and every episode. My favorite character is definitely 'Gibbs', and if you watch the show, you may understand why :)

    NCIS is technically a spin-off from 'JAG', where it was introduced as a 2-parter in it's 8th Season (titled Ice Queen/Meltdown), which introduces most of the characters of NCIS. With NCIS now heading into it's 10th Season, the question comes down to, will NCIS be able to run longer than it's predecessor did? I think it will, given the popularity of the show, and it's constant growth in viewership numbers over the 9 seasons so far. Most shows tend to diminish over time, while NCIS has managed to hold steady or improve viewer numbers.

    The first actual NCIS episode (Yankee White), is totally a ripoff on the movie 'Air Force One'.

    I just got done rewatching the 3 stargate series, burn notice, the star trek series... A Pretty good reboot show which is a lot like NCIS LA is Hawaii five 0, and this one british series like the Unit called Strike Back pretty good show but not something to let the kids watch LOL.

    I didn't think Nemesis was that bad. As the last TNG movie? Yeah they could have done much better. (Particularly considering how the TV show ended) Then again, I hated Insurrection. :rolleyes:

    Thank you for joining me and helping along the way, ltsmith :) As for what's next for me, I'm going to watch it all again. BACKWARDS!

    JK :) I think Firefly and Dr. Who are in the running.

    Can't believe I'll make my final episode post tomorrow. What a journey.

    john de lancie, robert picardo stand out more then the rest although i do not remember that many trek actors appearing that often in stargate.

    going off topic a little, i found Callen - Hanna concept funny at times like Deeks not thinking and ending up with an elbow from Blye. but NCIS itself? Dinozzo, i just liked this casual buzzing about, always ending up being the butt end of his own jokes and sometimes he can be a real pain in the neck, other times he is very serious and be the teammate you want. Mallard once stated that he can see alot of Gibbs in Dinozzo when he was younger, so will anything change coming into season 10? i hope not.

    As I suggested earlier, Stargate: SG-1 and Stargate: Atlantis (plus movies) would be a good idea. Stargate: Universe, not so much. :(

    Suggestions for other Series to watch if you haven't already:

    Babylon 5
    Battlestar Galactica (Original or Remake, take your pick)
    Stargate The Movie + SG-1 + Atlantis + Infinity (Animated Series) + Universe
    Farscape
    Firefly ( + Serenity Movie )
    Andromeda

    (be aware that the script writers of Andromeda had to be smoking something in every 2nd Episode, there is an awesome everything overreaching story arc and character development evolving, but you just have to suffer through the ...*odd* episodes that make no sense at all, the art style is also rather unique, i wouldn't watch it a 2nd time but in the end i liked it.)

    Besides the 2 you mentioned that have been in both series either as a main character, re-occurring actor there was...

    Armin Shimerman (Quark) (He played a member of the Nox)

    Marina Sirtis (Counselor Troi) (She played a Russian Scientist)

    Dwight Schultz (Reginald Barclay) (The Gamekeeper)

    Rene Auberjonois (Odo) (Alar the leader of the Genocidal Race)

    Jolene Blalock (T'Pol) (Ishta Leader of the Female Rebel Jaffa)

    John Billingsley (Dr. Phlox) (Coombs)

    Ronny Cox (Captain Jellico) (Senator Kinsey)

    Tony Amendola (Was only in the Episode of Voyager: The Muse) (Bra'tak)

    Connor Trineer (Tripp) (Michael the Wraith)

    Colm Meaney (Chief O'Brien) (Cowen from the Genii)

    Nicole Deboer (Ezri Dax) (SG team member of the all female SG team)

    Saul Rubinek (Kivas Fajo) (Film Producer) & (another favorite artie from warehouse 13)

    Alan Ruck (Captain of Enterprise B) (Dr Adam Fletcher on the Atlantis Episode: The Real World)

    Okay and I may have missed some actors but if so not many but all these people were involved with Star Trek at some point and were later in one of the StarGate series :)

    No problem for the help and wow it may seem very cliche; but it does seem just like yesterday the Journey was started. I highly recommend Firefly that will last you 2 weeks then and also watch Serenity it is the movie that ties up the show. As for NCIS I have seen them all released as they come out on TV since the show started in 2003; but I am thinking of re-watching the older seasons up to now. I have also seen every episode of Stargate SG-1 Atlantis and Universe in all I like the entire series.

    Episode 734 - Abrams Movie Era - "Star Trek" - 05/08/2009
    The greatest adventure of all time begins with Star Trek, the incredible story of a young crew's maiden voyage onboard the most advanced starship ever created: the U.S.S. Enterprise. On a journey filled with action, comedy and cosmic peril, the new recruits must find a way to stop an evil being whose mission of vengeance threatens all of mankind. The fate of the galaxy rests in the hands of bitter rivals. One, James Kirk (Chris Pine), is a delinquent, thrill-seeking Iowa farm boy. The other, Spock (Zachary Quinto), was raised in a logic-based society that rejects all emotion. As fiery instinct clashes with calm reason, their unlikely but powerful partnership is the only thing capable of leading their crew through unimaginable danger, boldly going where no one has gone before.

    It is with mixed emotions that I announce that this post brings us to the end of "Star Trek: The Journey". I want to thank all of those who have followed along with me these past 2 years, those who have discussed the various episodes in this thread, and those who are in process or just starting their own Journey. Words can not express how amazing this experience was and how big of a void my days are going to have without it.

    It's crazy to look back at how far we've come. The thread was started in August of 2010, just several months after STO launched. Since then, so many things have happened in the world and my life, including the amazing opportunity I now have working on STO. It was also hard to imagine that I would make it all the way through, due to the commitment it required. Yes, there were plenty of days that had gaps between episodes, but in the end, we made it. We watched 734 "episodes", including 11 movies and 30 seasons. Absolutely incredible.

    Enjoy ST 2009, and farewell "Star Trek: The Journey"!

    "Space. The Final Frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. Its continuing mission: to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no one has gone before."
    I ask nothing but that you remember me.

    Its been a pleasure sharing this journey with you Brandon. I for one look forward to continuing the journey though STO.

    But your journey is not exactly done yet. The new Star Trek Movie is due out next year. You could also include the Comic series and Namco-Bandai game that also encompass the extended universe in the 09 reboot cannon.

    You're looking at it the wrong way, Bran.

    Open up STO, start a new character, begin from the tutorial. You're now caught up.

    Reach the end of STO content, jump into the foundry, then make a few missions yourself.

    The Journey's never over.

    But yeah, O'Neill wins the "Funniest Character" award in the Stargate franchise.

    Congrats! A cool project indeed!

    You still have a few things you can watch, I reccomend Star Trek Phase II aka New Voyages, fan made eps that are actually quite well done and even feature some actual Trek actors and writers.
