I actually think a lot more care is taken with the newer
series. It's less broad and not as much scenery chewing.

The features films, with notable exceptions, have been
getting better in that there is less 'fan service' (a term
used in anime quite a bit) and more story.

If the plot lines were written then as they are now, the
Borg collective would be a reference to Communism I suppose.

I stopped watching tv after the first episode of ST-V, not because I didn't like Voyager, I had just had it with commercial televison.
I never went back.

But now I can watch the content without the advertising.
