DS9 was, far and away, the best Star Trek... the re-launch (novels) are incredible. If you haven't read them, run out an buy them now. Seriously some of the coolest and most interesting Trek reads ever.

TNG is phenomenal as well...

I watched the original when I was a kid and thought it was kind of boring... but so were most shows of that day! I liked that it was about space travel and had cool technology! Now that I'm older I appreciate what Roddenberry was trying to do!

TNG was so much better than the TOS!!! I always laugh at Kirk and McCoy when I watch... My favorite line, "He's dead Jim!" TNG had a great team of actors! I was really sad when the series ended. I love the movies... for the most part!

I liked voyager because of the Borg!!! You have to love the Borg!!!

I'm with Darrell; DS9 was Gilligan's Island in space!!! But it is still Star Trek so I give it respect! It had some cross over episodes which were really cool!

Enterprise was retro and I like going back in time! Can't wait for the new movie because of this!!!

I do not consider myself a Trekkie because I live far far away in the Star Wars universe!!!

Enjoy all things TNG!

11-10-2008, 01:16 PM

Voyager I enjoyed much. TNG is the best.

pipermacbean · 11-10-2008, 07:58 PM

Allow me to elaborate on my rankings:

DS9- characters characters characters... plus the on-going intrigue with the Cardassians (Gul Dukat, Garak), the Vorta/Changling thing, and that biotch Kai Winn

Enterprise- I like the cowboy feel to it... they were trying to figure it out along the way... I liked them setting things up for the "future"... sometimes they screwed up but they did what they had to do and didn't apologize for it

TNG- seemed a little lacking in action... just a little too cerebral and serious sometimes... don't get me wrong, I enjoyed it very much but sometimes they seemed a little remorseful when they had to get tough or defend themselves.

TOS- when it was the one and only it was great but now it does look very dated and cheesy (think "Spock's Brain")... but the characters will always be the originals

Voyager- sorry but I just could never get into it... I have tried and tried but I can't find one character I can like... not that I dislike them, they just seem blah to me (ok... maybe the doctor was pretty good).

Just my opinions...

You're a good man....

I couldn't really get into Enterprise, I did watch the first season and a few episodes here and there, though it seems to be missing something that makes the other star trek's special. And seriously, who doesn't like Jerry Ryan walking around in skin tight clothing all episode?

Seen 'em all and loved 'em all...wish there was at least some new ST series on TV now but oh, well...

Agreed a billion percent.

Whee · 11-11-2008, 03:08 PM

Been a Trekkie forever. I mean, I was actually ALIVE when the original aired. (ok, maybe not old enough to watch).

I do love TNG though. although, going back and looking at the early episodes, it can be hard to watch.

My list...

1) TNG
2) TOS
3) DS9
4) TOS the animated series (oh yeah, find that in your time capsule!)
5) Voyager

Have to admit, I did not get into Enterprise and only watched a few episodes.

Starscream · 11-11-2008, 04:39 PM

1. TOS
2. TNG
3. DS9
4. Enterprise
5. Voyager

No die hard TOS fans here?

CBI_2 · 11-11-2008, 05:39 PM

Wife and I have loved something about all of them. Favorite would have to be TNG though.

My favorite character would have to be 7of 9

Wife's favorite Will Riker

( She made me put this here.

)

As far as DS9 only staying on the station, one of the best episodes of all of the series was when the Jem'hadar had several DS9 crew members imprisoned and were trying to break Worf's will and spirit in fighting matches.

Lucky_Hippo · 11-12-2008, 09:58 AM

Loved TNG the series, but was not that big a fan of the movies. I still have the original TNG action figures sitting somewhere in the basement never opened.

zmancbr · 11-12-2008, 10:02 AM

I loved TNG! It definitely had its place as a great series... DS9 was my personal fav though. I wouldn't rank it as better than TNG since TNG is a classic... but for me I like to watch it more!

Sadly enough I actually own the entire series on LazerDisc. I did, however, manage not to but it on DVD when it came out a couple of years ago.
