Yeah, we did. I finished Next Gen a while ago. and watched the first seasons on Voyager and DS9 but kinda stopped for a while. Now I'm back on a Star Trek kick.

takes a bit to get into VOY and more or less throughout you're just watching it so you can say you've watched it.
I'd go for DS9 again sometime, though.

I started rewatching TNG, VOY and ENT when they came on Netflix Instant. Somewhere along the way my wife started watching them with me. Now after 10 years of looking at me like I smell of rotten cheese every time I mentioned sci-fi she randomly says things like "Can we watch some Trek?". I think she might have a tumor.

ENT gets a bad rap, I'd say it's on par with VOY.

I like Enterprise, personally. I think it was a good attempt to get back to the more adventurous tone of TOS, without getting cheesy or feeling completely unrelated to TNG/DS9/VOY era's approach. It definitely had a lot going against it right out of the gate. They were trying to appeal to a lot of conflicting sensibilities and deliver something fresh and unique while still being nostalgic and adhering to established cannon for the franchise. I imagine it's got to be difficult to come off well creatively or popularly, pulling in two opposing directions like that. The theme song wasn't doing them any favors either.

I actually liked the theme song (this was 10 years ago and i was much younger back then obviously), never had a problem with it, though I agree 100% it worked against the series.
there's word on the street of the possibility for a new series and i really do hope it happens. though i think they're waiting for the new movies to get done and whether they tie in to those or are separate is unknown.

Oh man, that theme song is worse than Firefly's. I can't really judge it yet since I've only seen one episode. Gratuitous female Vulcan erect nipples were kinda weird but I'll give it a chance.

It's pretty easy to fastforward through the credits. Which you should start practicing, because the theme song gets even worse starting season 2. I find I do that with all shows that have extended opening credits, even if the theme is good.

I picked up the first volume of Young Indiana Jones, but I've only watched the first episode so far. Pretty decent, I imagine as he gets older it will be more interesting.

First season of The Game Of Thrones was really good. I've been planning to watch Galactica for almost a couple of years now, but it seems i never get it started.

Just watched the first episode of Ancient Aliens. Some of that stuff is pretty crazy. Thinking about it though, the Great Pyramid as a power plant kinda makes sense.

There's a disturbing lack of Wonder Showzen and Xavier Renegade Angel in this thread. I worship PFFR.
Also dig The Walking Dead, Peep Show, That Mitchell & Webb Look, 30 Rock, Superjail, Archer, The Sarah Silverman show (shut up), Dexter, Intervention, Arrested Development, Game of Thrones, Tim and Eric (on occasion)
