Arguably the best Star Trek movie is Galaxy Quest.

Arguably also the best sci-fi comedy of all time.  :hmm:

Some of the better LEXX episodes are up there.

If you see yourself as Kirk start with The "Original Series," if you see yourself as Picard "The Next Generation," if you don't see yourself as the captain then "Voyager."
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

I'd be tempted to go on a French-speaking server and make a thread entitled "What Frenchmen sound like in the future" and link to a clip of Picard.  :lol:

Course, the hassle of running all the responses through a translator makes it not worth it.

From what I've seen on SF Debris it seems to have a few interesting episodes, yes. Wasn't one even elevated to canon by Roddenberry?

Yes it was:

Start with Enterprise, whatever you move on to next it will certainly be an improvement.
First Maxim - "There are only two amounts, too few and enough."
First Corollary - "You cannot have too many soldiers, only too few supplies."
Second Maxim - "Be willing to exchange a bad idea for a good one."
Second Corollary - "You can only be wrong or agree with me."

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.
