Anybody who has ever been a fan of the original series, or even has a clue about the storyline should be embarrassed by this series. The Borg does not come around until Q brings the Enterprise to the Gamma sector, the Klingons are NEVER seen until Kirk encounters them, the NCC-1701 was the FIRST ship to carry the Enterprise name....need I go on? Berman and Pilliar have made a mockery of Gene Roddenberry's creation. After he died, they only saw $$$$ and just went their own way. No wonder Majel Barrett was in every single episode of star trek until this series. I don't blame her for not being involved with this mess. Poor Bakula. He's a great actor, as are the entire cast. I like them all, but the storyline is tragic and ignores all of the precedents set by the original series. Just check the ratings. I think more people watched Deep Space 9 (which was untimely canceled).

Tim Burton has proved he is not just about making noir films. The script and the story are utterly lovable. You really identify with this movie if you've ever had any disparate feelings about your dad, and wondered what he really did when he was away. Second, but most of all, the special effects enhance this story instead of upstage it. Finally have we reached the time that effects arent all about explosions and big guns. They can really help to tell this story. I highly reccomend seeing this before it leaves the big screen, because that only makes the movie that much bigger. A+

After watching this series with my eyes half closed for the first episode, I was delightfully surprised. There were too many sex scenes, and watching the good Dr talk to himself is a bit annoying at times, and so is that blonde flaky cylon. If and I mean IF there are still fans of the original series, they most likely live in their parents basement, have goatees, ponytails, and have a big paunch and spend their time arguing which DC action figure is worth more. This miniseries is a huge improvement. Especially when the sublight ships are left behind and they curse them on the radio. Serious lack of cheese factor in this miniseries.
