No, it's an awesome TV show. If it were shitty, then it wouldn't have the fan base that it has, and it wouldn't be popular enough for CBS to make yet another Star Trek series to take off early next year.
Maybe that large fanbase has terrible tastes in TV shows?

Maybe this is old news but heard this AM on the atheist DJ station that Shatner apologized for ST 5.

Wait, you like the movies? Past Wrath of Khan, and perhaps the crazy one with whales (because it's hilarious awful), I disliked all of them.

I would have named best of both worlds as well. The above movies I like, but they are something different from the series.

Yeah that's fair enough. I watched the Redlettermedia reviews of the TNG films and it ruined it for me I remember as a kid watching first contact and loving it, but it was probably because of the phasers and the shooting and the pew pew.
I'm too cynical now

I was at the German festive premiere of first contact (I think we even had a live feed to some astronauts, and Brent Spiner was there and LeVar Burton, so I have a lot of nostalgic feelings concerning #8

What, no love for VI? It was a strong movie in its own right, intriguing murder mystery, good sociopolitical commentary and some nice action.
Also, despite its abject badness I cannot hate the Search for Shatner's Ego (V) for two reasons, 1) it gives us Star Trek's best lin "What does god need with a starship?" and 2) it was my gateway to the franchise, the first I saw of Trek.

Really? Why? I was living in a small town in Indiana at the time and the consensus among my peers was "Oh, the hot chick from Star Trek?" Not the "hot black chick". This in a town where blacks weren't welcomed and didn't stay long if they moved in.
