Just read the whole thread, so a few more points/posts to respond to.

A bit more info at

The site still says it's supposed to be showing in 2007. I'm not sure what to think of it. The only thing that would get me to give it a chance is that it has Claudia Christian in it.

5 seasons is still better than a lot of shows manage these days. I've got season 1 on DVD, I'm hoping they'll bring out the rest.

Not sure if I have just 1 favourite. Earth: Final Conflict would be on the list, as would Voyager.

Absolutely! If they'd made the series more like the books it might have lasted longer. Can't wait for the next 1, due out in April, IIRC.

Not sure if that's the same version as was previously linked to, but I thought I'd post a link in case anyone hasn't seen it. It looks good.

I remember something spinning in ToS, but thought that was just cheesey bad effects or something.

You can also see the scoops bring used in next gen and on the 1701e to blow up a sonar ship, I do believe that the front of the nacelles on the e also wobble due to the presence of the "turbine blades"

I recall the Bussard collectors, it's just the whole concept of moving parts in a Starfleet starship engine... it just seems so... primitive.
