Like a lot of people, I'd never seen star trek before but I saw the new movie recently and really liked it, so I decided to try get into the show.
I bought the box set of series one of the next generation and I'm in the process of ploughing my way through it. I'm liking it so far, but a tiny bit worried at the same time.
I've been doing a bit of reading about in online and it says that the episodes start to fall into a formulaic kind of a pattern, and i'm worried that this will kind of ruin the enjoyment if I decide to stick with it. It said something about there being three basic kind of episodes or something, I've tried to find it again but no luck.
Off the top of my head there was an episode I just watched called Angel One, and there was a subplot going on about these Romulan Battlecruisers closing in towards the edge of nuetral space. It seemed like a pretty big deal, and at the end of the episode the enterprise guys jet off towards them to scare them away. I assumed this would lead into the next episode but it didn't, and I was a tiny bit dissapointed with that. It seems a bit like they have an 'alien of the week' or something.
Having said that, theres loads of things about it that I like, the characters/actors (not wesley :] )mainly but a lot of other stuff, it seems to have a quality to it that more modern shows dont have. I'm hoping investing in the box set was a good idea, do you think I should stick with it?
(I'd rather hear good reasons than bad ones though, I have bought the shagging thing after all :] If it maintains the same level of quality, i'll probably keep watching it lol)
