The scientific aspects of Star Trek definitely appeal to me the most. It is a sci-fi series after all.

You may be happy to know that Q continues to make a few appearances in Voyager. I would tell you more, but go watch it so we can discuss that series too, haha.

Oh, I had no idea you stopped by before. Glad you liked the FungYi banner. Do you find it disappointing that Raymond and Tavia are rarely paired up when co-starring in the same series such as Heart of Greed and the upcoming Moonlight Resonance? But since I found HOG to be highly overrated with a ridiculous storyline, it is unlikely that I will watch MR anyway.

Ah, Q…I love that he brings comic relief with him whenever he appears. Other than that, I still need to understand what exactly are his intentions when he interacts with Captain Picard and other humans.

I think I will watch the new Star Trek movie only if the reviews are favorable. For some reason, I feel like it’s being over-hyped (which usually leads to disappointment) just because one of the actors is from Heroes and there’s JJ Abrams, who is definitely enjoying more fame after coming off the success of both Lost and that monster movie. Well, I guess there should be cause for excitement because it’s been like, what, six years since the last Star Trek movie?

About Voyager, wow, I actually had no idea that was the main premise of the series. I thought it was just another starship exploring their way through space. Now I definitely want to check it out.

Heck yeah, I’m addicted to FungYi to the point of necessary psychiatric evaluation since I saw them in TOB four years ago. I visited your site when it was still on blogger and LOVED your FungYi banner. I commented on it on the tagboard, but under another alias. It’s cool that we share another interest in that regard. We really are Data and Lore. Except that Lore was…um, diabolically evil.

There are tons of Star Trek fonts available online. I downloaded the TNG one here.

My favorite episodes involve the holodeck, Borg, Q, time travel/distortion, and of course, Data. It is always interesting seeing the Borg attempt to assimilate humanity or the crew trapped in that virtual facility. I will admit that I was never too interested in the relationship of any couple, but I am happy that Deanna and Riker finally tied the knot in the movie Nemesis.

Good to know that you are also a FungYi fan! Ray and Tavia would make a great pair in the TVB version of TNG, but I really doubt the company could reproduce something so wonderfully geeky.

While I am disappointed that Data can no longer make an appearance in the upcoming movie, I still look forward to seeing it. Abrams’ Lost is currently one of my favorite shows on television, so hopefully he will do justice to this work.

Voyager is highly recommended. The idea of a starship stranded in the Delta Quadrant trying to crawl its way back to the Alpha Quadrant is very intriguing. With the liberated Seven of Nine on-board, the Borg become a much more significant enemy here, and the introduction of a new species will prove that resistance is indeed not futile. Give the series a try.

Wendy – I enjoyed reading about your experience with Star Trek. That android is a fascinating character.

I definitely agree that TNG is the best one out of the franchise. When I was younger, I used to catch random episodes every Saturday in the local channel where I’m from, but didn’t fully come to appreciate it for the masterpiece that it is until about a year ago, when I started watching it chronologically. I must say how relieved I was finishing the first season and finally getting to the good stuff in the third-seven seasons. The second season was definitely better than the first, but the highlights were the later seasons. So far, I’ve watched up the the beginning of the fifth. I especially enjoy any episodes that center around Picard, Data, Vulcans, Romulans, or Klingons. I think my all-time favorite episode so far is The Measure of a Man. I cried during that one. I am also a bit embarrassed to admit that I am also quite invested in the Riker-Deanna relationship. Their relationship is ambiguous, but the chemistry between Marina Sartis and Jonathan Frakes sizzles. Just to insert some TVB into my post, if they were to do a remake of TNG, I’ve always wanted FungYi to play Riker and Deanna. I think they will prove more than adequate to recapture the chemistry. Gah, there’s soo much to talk about. I’ll leave that for another post.

To be honest, I don’t feel any particular excitement for the upcoming Star Trek movie because I’m unfamiliar with the original series (even though JJ Abrams is at the helm and I loved his work in Alias). With none of the original cast in the new movie (with perhaps the exception of Spock (I loved his appearance in TNG when he was trying to build a conciliatory bridge between the Vulcans and Romulans)), I feel like Abrams is just trying to use to Star Trek franchise to make himself more famous or something. Oh my goodness, did I just digress within a digression?! I apologize for rambling so profusely. I’d be happier if they were to make another TNG movie, but with Data destroyed in the last one, it would just be a sad reminder that everybody’s favorite android is gone. I mean, yes, he did implant his memories into another prototype that he created, but the actor himself have said that he was getting too old for the part.

I haven’t seen Voyager, except for an episode here and there, and I hadn’t plan to. However, the fact that one of the characters used to be a Borg fascinates me. They were such a threat in TNG, which makes me want to delve more into the Borg mythology. Ah, the TNG two parter about Lotucus was reeeallly good and Patrick Stewart was amazing in potraying the aftermath.

You won’t mind if we turn this post entry into a Star Trek thread, would you?

I have seen some episodes of the original, but I still think TNG is the best series of the Star Trek franchise. How I wish it did not end at the peak of its popularity as some of my favorite episodes are from season seven. I am also a fan of Voyager.

Memory-Alpha.org is the best Star Trek website, but I usually link to Wikipedia. That link in the post needs to be changed later.

Before I continue to ramble on, what do you think about the upcoming movie next year?

Memory-Alpha.org is a great site for Star Trek fans.

Alright, I think I have sufficiently frightened you away from your own site (which is awesome by the way) with crazed ramblings. But I’m just so…happy. *wipes sentimental tears from eyes*
