Yeah. I grew up on TNG too...in fact I'm really giddy cause the Royal Shakespeare Company is doing a residency at my University coming up here, which in itself is guh worthy. But their headliner for the season in none other that Patrick Stewart. I'm so excited....
DS9 never held my attention though I have heard that a lot of people like it. ::nod::
I...had issues with Serenity. I feel like they did an okay job considering they had to make it standalone and that they couldn't fesibly wrap up the all of the threads they left behind. However I feel like it was too serious given Firefly and that there was a general genre/style shift that didn't feel right too me. And a couple of the things they left open angered me. Like the MASSIVE, GAPPING things that had suggested that Book wasn't a Shepard, which they didn't even touch...they just killed him instead. I dunno...It just...didn't feel right to me.
As far as Stargate...SG-1's Prime really was seasons 4-7 (though that pains me to say, b/c I hate season 6 in a rather histrionic way). I still really liked 8. 9.....wasn't so good, but 10 thus far has been really good, which is why I'm crushed that it isn't being picked up...while remaining optimistic as to what the producers will do next. But the thing is..when SG-1 started to falter, SGA picked up the slack. It's season 1 (same year as SG-1's 8th) was..solid. 2 was better. And this season has been consistantly better than SG-1.
And wow...I talk (type) a lot...I blame it partically on the the fact that I got about four and a half hours of sleep. Oy.
