    Next Gen and DS9 were great but he's right about Voyager, it was an abomination

    One Star Treck was enough, but three spin-offs(all within the 90's). Two of which had Worf and Chief O'Brien, with Chief O'Brien wearing a red shirt in Next Gen but a Yellow one in DS9:eek:. I think Worf wore the same but the complete opposite. The only thing memorable about Next Gen was the Borg and Jean-Luk Picard.


    Voyager was only good when the episodes where about Seven of Nine, cause she was sexy in those outfits she wore, and also when the Borg where in it

    DS9 was the worst though, just plain boring, cause they didn't explore and find trouble, trouble had to come to them.

    I can live with one star treck but three is just mad, hell they even went and made that prequel Enterprise, which was just tiresome.

    The ole, ole song from World Cup 90*


    *Yeah right-the frigging song is played constantly to remind ourselves how we got to the quarter finals of the world cup 20 YEARS AGO :rolleyes:

    We're even sadder than the Brits who harp on about the 1966 World Cup (at least they won!!)

    Oooh, Top 30 Hits,
    Oooh, Top 30 Hits,
    Oooh, Top 30 Hits,
    Oooooooh.

    There was never a week where more than three of the Dance Top 10 had an actual video, the others were just record label screensaver efforts. The three with videos would all feature fat tattooed squaddie types dancing topless in Eye-beefa.

    Only having one television in the house (no remote control either:()
    I have a theory on why people had more children in the 80's and 90's-it was so fathers would always have a voice activated remote control at their disposal.:p


  • Registered Users Posts: 940 ✭✭✭kerryman12


    agreed...fringe kicks the ****e of x-files

    I watched one or two shows and stopped myself - not getting sucked in to this crap again


  • Registered Users Posts: 304 ✭✭Bubs99


    What I hated/do not miss from the 90's...

    Being a teenager (treated like a child but expected to act like an adult)...No win situation!!!

    The fashion at the time...horrific! Please NEVER return (all other decades have!)...Fingers crossed!

    All those rediculous songs, mainly pop and dance that just made no sense at all!

    Ectasy! (never took it but saw many off their heads & they looked like twats!)

    How did we survive without mobile phones?!!! (i did get my 1st in 1999 though)...i used to live in a denim jacket and kept my giant NOKIA 5110 in the pocket, I looked so stupid but thought I was cool...Cringe!
