Thanks for the links. TrekkieGirl asks why anybody would want any Trek but TNG. Well I prefer TOS because it was better written (real science fiction writers not soap opera writers), it wasn't top heavy with technobabble, and it wasn't politically correct. O.K. some of the acting was a bit hammy at times, but I grew up watching TOS and liking the main characters. However if you really want decent TV science fiction watch Babylon 5. It has the following things going for it :- imperfect world, personal agendas, ongoing storyline, sensible tech, no end of episode reset button (which all the next gen treks (DS9, TNG, Voyager & Enterprise are guilty of this)), good writing, good acting & it set the Gold standard for special effects in TV & Movie Sci Fi
