We've been on a Star Trek viewing splurge lately and I have to say that going back and watching the different series, Voyager has been one of our favorites.   What is yours?

  1. Voyager
  2. Original Star Trek
  3. Enterprise - could use better opening song though - ugh.
  4. Deep Space 9 - once you get past the first couple of slow seasons.
  5. Star Trek Next Gen - takes a bit to get into it.    Has some good episodes - but Voyager is just more interesting.

    Only because I'm 27 and TNG is just a tad too dated for me to rank it #1 I'd have to say Voyager as well. Just a really great concept which left a lot of room open for all the new species and technologies.

    1. TNG.  Grew up with it.

    2.Voyager    I was able to catch it on tv more often than DS9.    Every night TNG then Voyager.

    3. DS9  

    4. Star Trek. A little before my time.  I pretty much watched all the rerun episodes as a kid as they were constantly on. Though, if TNG, Voyager, or DS9 was on I would rather watch those.

    5. Enterprise.   Had some really bad episodes. Ones which were nothing but filler in the main story. I really hate that in any series.  Writers drag out a story for no reason other than they need filler episodes to make the season longer as well as simply just to drag out the story.  After the main story  was over the writers just seemed clueless as to where to go. 

     

    I like all the shows. So for me listing them in any order doesn't really say much.  If there were one I could of done without it had to be Enterprise. Great cast, I expected it to be a lot better than it was. Someone screwed that show over. Not sure if it was the writers or producer or a combination of both.

    disclaimer: am not a true trek fan. i mean no disrespect with my lack of show experience and knowledge. i'll leave the bridge post haste:

    1. TNG - for sure, sure, sure.  In fact the theaters by me are showing in one part the Borg 2-part episode on the big screen.

    Haven't watched any others, to be honest.  Might need to remedy that.

    Next: Favorite Movies:

    1. Nemisis (I know it's most people's least favorite but I have a thing for angry misfits like Shinzon)

    2. Insurrection (want to live wth the Baku)

    Enterprise. I just liked the concept and the characters. Next would be TOS, followed by both Voyager and TNG. I never really got into DS9, but I am giving it a try again on Netflix.

    Well, my favorite would be a toss up between the Original Series and the Next Generation but for different reasons. The Original Series had a very B-Movie campiness to it that I really enjoyed while the Next Generation had more compelling stories. They both had a great cast of characters however.

     

    As for the rest I would put them in this order:

    1. Enterprise
    2. Voyager
    3. Deep Space Nine
     
    I think I liked Deep Space Nine the least because it lacked a lot of the "To Boldly Go... " that made Star Trek a great IP.

    For those of you that like the original series have you seen the CGI makeover they gave to the space scenes yet?

    Not exactly.

    They seem to of taken the space portion of the show shot for shot and remade them with CGI.

    They stayed pretty faithful to the original models.

    My favorite series is TNG. I liked how it was about mankind having bettered itself. The characters were intelligent and would use science and reason to solve their difficulties. Picard was someone who would keep his wits and would always try do the right thing. The show basically had the message that we weren't such a flawed species afterall and that there is hope for us.

    The worst of the series is imo Enterprise, where they completely shifted the tone. The crew are generally misfits. (except the aliens) Scientific exploration takes a backseat to action and adventure,  they rather 'meet new people' than study some space phenomenon. Vulcans are no longer englightened beings, but arrogant and deceitful. Basically tearing down the people who were the embodiement of reason and make the audience distrust them instead. I felt that the writers tried destroy the heritage of TNG by no longer promoting humanistic ideals, and an anti-intellecual message instead.

    Deepspace 9 was overall good. Intelligent writing, great characters.

    With Voyager I felt that the idea was good, but it could have been so much better. The show could have been about them struggeling to survive, but in fact it was mostly the other way around. The races they met were in fact the ones struggleing and needed their help. Wasted opportunity imo.
