I was in my early 20's when Star Trek: TNG first came on and it remains my all time fav sci-fi. Season one and two sorta sucked, but from season three on, I loved it. That and the X-files are my favs of all time.

But I never really liked the Star Trek movies, classic or TNG. The new one coming out may be interesting because of it's "reboot the franchise" possibilities, but I'm a bit skeptical. I hope it rocks though!

And I like the new Battlestar Galactica for the very reason that they didn't make it anything like the 70's version. I was laughing when I first heard that they were remaking it, but I had to eat crow, because I love this version. I only recently got the DVD and started watching. I thought the 70's was horrible and I was a little kid, so it's not like I had great taste or anything. But then again, I was a HUGE Star Wars fan and it seemed like the old BG was just a cheap imitation.

I mean, now they have just remade The Knight Rider. Why are they remaking all of these really bad 70's and 80's shows?! They did great with the new BG, but I don't think I'll be checking out the new Knight Rider. The first one was bad enough and the whole idea is lame IMHO. Um, a supercar helps a guy fight bad guys? What?!?

By the way, the guy who wrote and came up with the the new Battlestar Galactica vision wrote a couple of really good episodes of Star Trek: TNG, including the final episode, All Good Things...

He also wrote for DS9 and Voyager. But if IRC, he got fed up with the bosses while on Voyager and quit. But he wrote the new BG mini-series that started it and maybe that's why I enjoyed it so much. Not sure if he still writes for them though.
