[Shotimes] OT for the Star Trek geeks

[Donald Mallinson]

What I really disliked about Voyager, is that they could not 
have a villan unless they had skin falling off them and were 
repulsive to look at.  Pretty sad.  Roddenberry had a rule, 
you could not cover up the actor's face so as to make them 
look totally un-human (I guess except for the Horta or other 
"non-humanoid" creatures.)

DS9 (Deep Space Nine) was very good in that they finally got 
off the station and started having good old fashioned 
starship fights, and the Dominion war was very well done. 
Actors pretty good and humor was still very good.

Humor was a big part of the TOS (The Original Series) and 
finally a part of TNG.  (The Next Generation).

Not a big fan of Enterprise, but it is better than Voyager, 
still making villans too weird.

I buy TOS and TNG books and sometimes DS9 and don't bother 
with the other books.
