  • If you don't have Wil Wheaton, chances are that you're going to suck.
  • the characters. tng just had the most awesome characters. you rooted for them, believed in them. and they were all connected and friends and interesting and well-developed. i liked ds9 a little. but not voyager.
  • A typical example of a network taking a series franchise and milking it till its dead then trying to wring it out. After ng is the wringing part.
  • Gene Roddenberry died.
  • I don't think it did. I see DS9 as a speed bump and VOY as a return to greatness, followed by ENT, which I really didn't care for at all.
  • The idea of getting away from the whole space ship based concept was a brave (if unwise) one. Voyager was better, but Enterprise is dismal. I'm not sure, but I think ST peaked with TNG and writers were starting to run out of ideas/story lines that could be completed in a 45 minute show.
  • I don't think it did. There were great stories from all the different series.
  • I didn't think the Next Generation was all that great, it was good, it was a bit watered down for me and politically correct for my tastes. They did not have strong actors and good scripts, poor concepts and story lines also hampered their attempts. Nothing beats good acting and a good script, with that you don't need effects. They tried to cover weak fundamentals with special effects and funny looking aliens.....boring.
  • I disagree with the premise that post-TNG sucked! the following shows made TNG look so politcally correct, the characters so well-adjusted it got to be a bore trying to find storylines... You got character development later on. ENT wrenched character development as the series progresses and humanity's most fundamental values were tested in the face of alien aggression, and humanity's worst prejudices surfaced again. You got story arcs that lasted a whole season, not simply wrapped up in the 42 minutes. You got Scott Bakula without a shirt every other episode.
  • I thought DS9 was pretty good. It was a departure and had some interesting stuff. Voyager though, to me, had some of the worst actors I've seen on TV. Talking 2X4's would have been just as interesting and a bit more amusing. The acting was lifeless and bland, the character interactions were unconvincing and stiff as dried leather. Janeway had to be the worst of all the Captains by a very wide margin. I never watched Enterprise.
  • No Bill Shatner. He is Star Trek!
  • In my opinion,it didn't.I like Voyager,and Deep Space Nine,just not Enterprise,and all the new movies and crap.*+++++*
  • The characters in the post-TNG series weren't as appealing, and were all a little bit darker and less joyous.
  • Rick Berman
  • Actually, STAR TREK started to "suck--after the ORIGINAL 1960s series ended!!!
  • I thought is sucked after the first generation.
  • I think a lot of it was that Chris Black kinda took over after Gene Roddenberry died, and began steering the franchise into a darker universe. Roddenberry always kept the future hopeful. Chris gave us unending wars and dark realities that we simply didn't need. We got plenty of that from the news.
