At that point, as I said, you might as well be shooting bull**** out the torpedo tubes.

Hey that might actually be effective.

"Damn it cap'n, they're shootin'...****e at us out of their tubes!"

"Quick, take evasive action...I don't want my new paint job messed up!"

To me it's a difference of genre. TOS was "Cowboys in Space"

After TNG they started really explaining things in pseudo-science. It fit because it was what I grew to expect.

Then you have the other sci-fi approach which is that "we have it, we just don't bother trying to justify how it works" ala Firefly, Star Wars, etc.

What I liked about TOS was the fact that you saw the crew interact well together. McCoy wasn't afraid to piss off Kirk, and Kirk wasn't ashamed to apologize for being a jerk. The banter between McCoy and Spock was well played. The support cast new their places in the chain of command and didn't rock the ship so to speak. The show felt more real than TNG, DS9, or Voyager.

You got a real sense of comradely with them that was present in other Star Trek shows, but in a different way.

TNG was great, but way to liberal in way to many aspects say for a few episodes like Yesterday's Enterprise and such.

DS9 was a very deeply cast oriented series and I enjoyed it very much. Sisko wasn't afraid to take action, while always worrying about the moral side of things.

Janeway was ok, but never really liked Voyager.
