   Personally I think all of the different series have their positives and   
   negatives.  TNG suffered through two seasons of repeats from TOS.  DS9 was    
   good   
    and original but had very long story arcs that if you missed some episodes    
   you   
    could get lost.  Voyager had Janway as a one women solve all problems.  It   
   over came that in the last three seasons.  Enterprise was really good but   
   suffered from season three and four being nothing but the Xindi.  So like I    
   say   
    I enjoyed them all and they all had their own problems.   
      
   Now the new movies are another question all together.  While I like the actors   
   playing the TOS crew, it lacks the same dynamic that all the TV and original   
   movies have.  That and the lense flares are almost blinding.     
      
   Other listen in on this, please feel free to jump in with your own thoughts    
   and   
    comments.

   We can do the same thing here in Canada.  I had a USA netfix account for    
   awhile   
    but dropped it as the only things they had that we didn't I wasn't interested   
   in or could get else where legally.
