You're >just somebody who watched some Trek sometime. Horse manure. I don't agree with everything the OP said, but I'm closer to his POV than I am to most in the Trek newsgroups. I liked Enterprise way more than the majority here, despised DS9 for most (though not all) of its 7-year run, and feel TOS is vastly over-rated. Whether I'm a true fan, I'll leave to others, but I have watched *thousands* of hours of Trek, so that qualifies me to evaluate his claims, and yours. I find his sound, and yours wanting. .
