No.  Not any more.  I don't like what the characters have degenerated
into, nor do I like the soapy "melodramas", eg, stories about Troi's
idiot mother and etc.  If I want sci-fi, I watch Blake's 7.  There,
I said it, I feel better now...  :^)

Obligatory TP:  

Spoilers??  Proceed with caution...


I tend to agree with those who say Coop was not in the Black Lodge
at the end of the series.  He was hanging out in a Waiting Room of
sorts.  Now, Coop's Ka is still trapped in this Waiting Room as I
understand it, while his body returned to TP.  Coop is in a bad
way without his Ka.  Without it he is unbalanced, and there is
nothing to prevent his dark side from overshadowing everything and
anything he does or encounters while alive in the world.  This is
akin to what Hawk was saying about facing one's dark side.  If Coop
isn't killed or if someone can't help him or his Ka to re-unite
himself, then he will not get beyond his dark side and make it to
the entrance of the White Lodge.  Coop entered the Black Lodge
when he returned to TP without his Ka.....which is still trapped
inside the Waiting Room.
