Apparently all Star Trek sucks because:

I'm sorry if this post was inappropriate, but the level of ignorance in this comment made my eyes bleed. It was his sole reason for hating the entire franchise, including the original series.

Agreed. That is using a single example as reason to hate something in its entirty without seeing each episode or movie for what it is.

That might apply to voyager, but the Ent-0 was a 'Heavy-cruiser.' A heavy Cruiser is no scout.

Yup, I brought up the point of hating something for no particular reason, and the point of the Enterprises not being scout-specific ships (save the NX Enter/Akiraprise).

Also, it turns out, he's a Stargate SG-1 fan... I love SG-1 myself, but how could this idiot hate a programme because the people it's based around "always win" when the SG-1 team is pretty damn notorious for their success?
