Star Trek Q edition

[John the Ripper 0]

Now I've been watching Star Trek for a good majority of my life (Mostly TNG) and I can safely say that Q is my favorite character out of all of them. When he shows up it's pretty much a promise that the following episode will be 6 different kinds of awesome. so I had an idea that they should make a Star Trek series (Or at least a mini series) based entirely around our favorite omnipotent being. Think about it, all the intelligence of a regular Star Trek series, but with much more Q adding humor and awesome. So what about you guys?

A Q TV Series? With that particular brand of wry omnipotent humor that the older members of the race seem to possess (Q, Q2)?

 

I'd lose patience about halfway through the premier episode and start tossing random solid objects at the television.

Oh dear. I think the best rule of thumb I can think of for any franchise is to keep spin-offs at a mininium.

That's why I love Q he's annoying to the point of maddness and you can't do **** about it, besides it couldn't be much worse then Enterprise

Enterprise had promise...if it had been done right. Q...was supposed to be a villain for Ent-D...and turned into comedic relief for the TNG/DS9/VOY

I do agree that Enterprise had promise and was it was sad to see that wasted. and you're right he did turn into a comic relief, but that's why I liked him, he came into a smart, mostly serious show and completely turned everything on it's ear with his, at time slightly psycotic antics.

No, I would not want to see this. What started out as a fun idea, is better left as few and far between. It's what made it special, but again, as the others noted, what was an interesting character in TNG, started to turn into comic relief, which was sad. While the TNG episode 'Tapestry' was really well done, I'm sorry, but on Voyager in the episode "The Q and the Grey", it just turned to silly.

That's how Star Wars got screwed up too....good movies, ruined with muppets, ewoks and Jar Jars.... (Keep the cute stuff to Hello Kitty Adventure Island).

Star Trek: Enterprise did some things well, and other things went off the mark.

 

Despite the one sided opinions winged at ENT most of the time during discussions such as these, I still like the show, didn't really see anything all that bad about it.

 

It remains the only full Trek series that I have on DVD besides the Original Series.

 

From a monetary standpoint, ENT is easier to collect what with four seasons as opposed to seven seasons. From a personal viewer standpoint, I like that frontier and adventure feel of ENT, and to me it is the closest modern series to duplicate the original sci fi adventure "feel" of TOS.

 

Like the other one sided opinions, this is my own - one sided - opinion.

 

There have been worse series (and movies) subjected on viewers.
