Actually my favorite of all the space TV shows was "Babylon 5". It started out with a plan for a 5 year story arc. It went five years, told its story and then ended. People (or aliens) died, things changed, there were consequences. People still were jealous, venal, deceitful. On Star Trek, humanity somehow had gotten over all that. Yeah, right. Star Trek in all versions reminds me of one of those Oliver Sacks stories about people with no memory. I know if one of my friends was taken over by an alien life form and tried to kill me, I'd probably still be pissed off about it for a week or two. In Star Trek, you never even heard "Hey, remember when Chekov thought he was a Bluxtar". Of course I'm just angry they didn't make the Star Trek episodes I wanted them to make. The one about transporter hackers who'd beam a pint of water into Kirk's bladder during a key love scene. Or the one about the night crew on the bridge. Cigarette burns on the Captain's chair. Half a donut at the science station. I'm just bitter.
"Pardon me, but would you happen to have any Grey Poupon?"
Excellent.
