Star Trek Favourite Series
 

To Celebrate the 40th Anniversary lets see which is the most popular of the shows.

I went with DS9 which I found to be the most original of the series and also had the most interesting characters. The show started off quite good but it was in the 4th-5th Season that it really became quality television.

After DS9, TNG and Voyager would be very close as my favourites. Unfortunately I never got around to watching 'The Original Series' enough.

Regarding Enterprise, I wanted to like it and I found the initial prologue idea very interesting. However I found that the acting performances lacked inspiration and the stories were average at best.

I liked Ezri Dax a lot (More of the actor lol she's unique)

DS9 was pretty nice but I just got pissed at the flattening of building climaxes. The entire Dominion War seemed stretched out too far and ended too erm, plainly.

I definately prefer Babylon 5's story line to DS9 if you compare the 2 (I think they were both originally aired at the same time).

I too have never seen the TOS, I haven't even seen TNG lol

But I'll say my favourite is Voyager. The Borg encounters and the whole 1 ship away from home concept was nice. I just wished the ship could have been more of a hard hitter than constantly getting the crap beaten outta it.

Well, I grew up with the Original Series, so naturally I'm going to look on that much more fondly than the successors. When I was in 1st and 2nd grade, my sister wanted to watch Sesame Street, but I wanted to watch Star Trek. Unfortunately, they were on at the same time, so we had to alternate.

TNG was good, and I watched it regularly. DS9 was also good, but that's were I started losing interest, and didn't pay attention to it the last couple of seasons. I never liked Voyager or Enterprise, and stopped watching both of them after a few episodes.

DS9 at the top. Then TNG, then Original Series, then probably Enterprise (never saw a single episode) and then the abysmal shit that is Voyager.

Still, DS9 has nothing on Bab5, and Bab5 has nothing on the new BSG, but that's just not the question here.

Of the ST series, DS9 had the best characters and the most "space" for longterm story development.

Deep Space 9 was the only one that had a credible ongoing story arc. Although I enjoyed many episodes of Next Generation, and the original Star Trek, they were mainly standalone stories, or at best two parters. I enjoy a story that is developed over time a lot more. Voyager tried the same thing, but it was always a little hokey - fun, but hokey - and crammed to the gills with pointless filler episodes just to make up the numbers.

While I watched TOS for longer than my memory can serve, I grew up on TNG. I felt more of a connection I guess becuase being a child of the 1980s, it seemed more "relevent". Of course, this is nonsense because now it's dated, if not the most dated of all the series.

I enjoy ST quite a bit, with the exception of Voyager. I've tried to enjoy that show but it ultimately comes across as a really cheap gimick show that wants to emulate TNG's "diverse cast" - not a vulcan but a black vulcan - with third-rate ideas. Also - fuck Neelix.

DS9 I never got into - but now wish I did.

I enjoy Star Trek The Next Generation the most. Especially the later episodes. Patrick Stewart is a VERY good actor.

For me, it's a heads up between TNG and DS9. TNG has its episodes that were about life and other deep, philosophical shit. On the other hand it also had its share of episodes where there was just some sort of malfunction with the ship and they had to figure it out.

But I agree with Souluzar, DS9 had the best story arc. The majority of the latter episodes were contiguous so you had to watch them in sequence, not like TNG

TNG for me, because that's basically the only series I've seen enough of to actually like. I grew up watching it, yet I never had the urge to watch any of the other series during this time. I'd like to watch the other series now though (especially DS9, which I have seen a few episodes of recently), along with watching TNG again, so I may buy them all on DVD one day.

DS9, Enterprise, TOS, TNG, Voyager.

I like story arcs more than planet of the week style things, hence why DS9, with the Dominion War and Enterprise with the Xindi arc and the multiple arcs in season 4, really appealed to me.

I still haven't had time to check out this show. I watched the 2003 film that was made prior to the series.

I grew up on The Next Generation, so I have a soft spot for it. Patrick Stewart wins at everything he's in.

Despite its occasional hokeyness and overkill on filler, I liked Voyager a lot for the simple fact that I liked the premise and the characters. Voyager struck me as one of the more character-centric of the Star Treks, while I like. Neelix and Kes can die for all I care, but the rest of the cast tended to be pretty good (the Doctor!).

DS9 was okay, but for some reason I never got into it as much as TNG or Voyager. It had good characters, and there were some good episodes, but I just fell out of watching it for some reason. Plus the politics in later seasons bored me.

As for the other two... Never watched the original series. And I've seen maybe six episodes of Enterprise, every one of which I hated. Enterprise characters annoyed the hell out of me.

Oh, and in honour of the 40th, check out this Wil Wheaton episode review if you have some time to kill. He said in his blog that he's going to be reviewing TNG episodes in honour of the 40th anniversary, so this is hopefully the first of many. And it's hilarious. First sacrificial offering: "The Naked Now". It's one thing to read a review of a bad episode. But it's even funnier to read a review of a bad episode from someone who had to act in it.

Voyager without question.

Most ST fans either love it or hate it to death, but it's the one that I followed from the beginning to the end. I was too young when TNG started and wasn't much interested in DS9 in the early years, but when Voyager came around in 95 I was old enough to follow along with the series.

Personally I liked the idea of introducing new species and being out of contact from Starfleet. Gave a fresh perspective on the series as opposed to the things we were familiar with in the Alpha Quadrant.

I also think that the Doctor is one of the coolest characters from any ST series ever. Watching him evolve from a tool into a member of the crew was one of my favorite story arcs of the entire show.

Voyager :edgarrock:

I grew up with TNG, but I ultimately liked DS9 the most. TNG was interesting when I was younger, but I noticed that few episodes are really that memorable. DS9 is my favorite because of the continuing story line. TNG, TOS, and Voyager have a few interesting storylines, but nothing as monumental as the war for control over DS9. I never got in to Enterprise.

I think the one problem that each series carries is the space soap opera storylines. Roxanna Troy is obnoxious, which does carry some humor, but really has nothing much to do with anything in particular, and yet she has had so many appearances. There are also countless episodes that are supposed to help caracter development, or expand on plotlines, but their is more fluff than integrity.

I also thought it was funny to see Tim Russ, who played an extra on TNG, end up being Tuvok on Voyager.

I voted for Deep Space Nine.
Mostly because of the great characters (not only the Main Characters, mostly all of the recurring gast stars as well) and the storyline, the sometimes "darker" feel (especially for Star Trek) and it was actually the first Star Trek series which tried something "epic" (ok, some of the early Borg-episodes in TNG could be descibed "epic" as well, but it was nothing compared to the stuff they did later - In TNG after one or two episodes, everything was fine again and the Enterprise moved on to the next planet of the week ;) ) and at last, I liked DS9 a lot for the big space battles, lol. It was really fun to see all these Ships finally in some really big space fights. :D

Besides DS9, I really like TOS & TNG as well. I liked Voyager in the beginning, but later they did some really weird things here and there and they startet with stupid timetravel-episodes which maked not much sense. That trend was also set in Enterprise, and i never really liked the series until season 4. I enjoyed some of the epic stuff in season 3, but I thought the overall plot in season 3 was much to simple (nothing compared to DS9 or Babylon 5), so I never really cared for season 3. Season 4 was much better (finally) and they finally started to make "Star Trek" again which was the right decision. To bad it didn't helped the series. The last episode was crap, of course. Probably even "Spock's Brain" (TOS") or "The Fight" (Voy) were better than this bullshit.

I hope they get things right in the upcoming movie...
there is always hope :D

I saw the episode which was on 2 days ago where he is a terrorist in a TNG episode.

I actually think he plays the Tuvok character really well on Voyager and is certainly one of the strongest characters for the show.

Prepare to crucify me for what I am about to say:

Enterprise.

I'm pretty much the mildest, most tasteless of all trekkies.

While I hated Voyager, I did love the Doctor.

You got it right on. I also think I saw him on DS9. I really do have respect for the actor.

One thing I really found hillarious about DS9 was the Klingon / Ferengi racism.
Quark: Oh no! If Freganar is destroyed, the entire Ferengi race could be doomed!
Worf: I fail to see the problem.

The special guest apperances which helped tie the multiple series together was also really cool.

Despite the fact that I enjoy Voyager sometimes, I wholeheartedly endorse this sentiment.

It ain't exactly too late, what with the show having been at least partly released on DVD. I don't know for sure if they released all of it yet, though. I'm sure that eventually they will, even if they didn't already.

I said Voyager. Why? Because it seemed to be different and less of a defined world. TNG and DS9 seemed so blah because there where too many known elements. Voyager seemed to have just unusual stuff that could happen. DS9 was way too predictable and into political/philosophy stuff, not enough space action. I mean half the coolness of Star Trek is battling spaceships. DS9 has a crappy little space station. I definitely liked TNG alot back in it's heyday, but the thought of watching that series now makes me cring.

If I had to say anything about Star Trek, it is that the movies (ST II - ST VII) rocked my face off. I wish that they would produce more shows/movies around that time period in the ST universe. That would kick ass. Also, I would vote for these movies over the TV shows anyday.

TNG, not counting the shoddy early seasons. Why? Because the original is just... hard to watch, DS9 is a Babylon 5 rip off (and not as good, anyway), and Voyager is fucking painful at too many moments to be worth the effort. Also, Enterprise I haven't gotten around to yet, so I can't speak to it.

I find this statement amusing, since DS9 showed some of the largest space battles in the entirety of Star Trek, and that the last two seasons were pretty much exclusively devoted the Dominion War.

Yeah, they have every season of each of these seasons out on DVD already, in America anyway. The only problem is that each season was $100 or more when they first came out. I think they've reduced the price on some of them, but I'm not too sure on which ones.

Sorry to say, but by the time the sixth and seventh season rolled around, I had long since been bored with DS9 and no longer even kept up with its happenings. Some of the crew was intriuging such as Dax, but we know how that ended. I am aware that the later space battles were 'big' but it's also the feeling of a specific space ship that I missed with the whole series. Sitting in a space station made the series felt stuck to me. They never seemed to 'do' anything, only respond to what was happening to them.

Actually, SpikeTV shows 2 episodes a day, and I believe they're at the 2nd or 3rd season right now. Its on from 1-3pm Monday through Friday. Luckily for me, I work from 3-11 most days so I get to catch most of the 2nd episode before I'm out the door.

I voted DS9 since I felt a special bond towards it. I love ST and I always have. My family would always sit down to watch both TNG and DS9 when I was younger and it became something we did each episode. TNG was great, and it was the ST in which I was raised. You could say it really sparked my love for the Sci-Fi genre, as did seeing Star Wars ANH when I was around 5 on VHS but thats a different story.

DS9 had very deep relationships and each episode was quite polished. I really liked the whole storyline with Section 31 and Julian Brashir. I could go on and on about each of the main characters, but suffice to say they all were well drawn out in my opinion. Unfortunately, I only have the last season on DVD, but once I have a bit more money on my hands, I'd like to get some of the earlier seasons added to my collection.

This is interesting, because That is what I really liked about the series. The fact that every action they took had such a storng political following made it so interesting. In all the other series, it was the Prime Directive or Starfleet Command, and both seemed so easy to disregard. In DS9, their were so many political factions that made up the galactic community that everybody was affected by the actions of the station.

I've heard it said before. I don't really see it myself. Other than both of them being set on space stations, I really don't see the similarity. They came out at approximately the same time, so it seems unlikely that either one could be a "rip off" of the other.

TNG for me. I think Season 3 of TNG is the peak of anything Star Trek. You had the morality and politics, but you also had the sense of exploration and well, "magic" that DS9 lacked for me. Episodes like The Defector are simply on another plateau. Not that DS9 is bad, but there's a bit too much angst there. Ooh, Sisco is so badass because he deals with Q differently than Picard did. The last few seasons of TNG did start to turn more towards the darker DS9-style (along with some utterly stupid plot devices like Riker having a twin and Diana having a little sister she didn't know about), but overall I definitely like it the most, and it managed to have a pretty good finale.

Oh, and Ron Jones > Dennis McCarthy > Jay Chattaway. That's part of why I prefer season three over four and five, which are also pretty good. (aside from Commander Sela, which I think was a lame way to bring Denise Crosby back into the series; I can't believe Gene Roddenberry actually approved that one - Yesterday's Enterprise was a fantastic episode that didn't need to be used for something so lame) Jay Chattaway had the one Inner Light theme and he hasn't done any exciting music since. (which unfortunately translates to DS9 having completely dull and unmemorable music) Ron Jones had the cool Romulan theme and for each episode he would create an original motif and work with it in various ways to great effect. Gotta love the feel of Booby Trap when they step onto that ancient ship. That sort of thing stopped existing in Star Trek once Rick Berman and Brannon Bragga took complete control. With them you have those ever so contrived science conflicts just to remind folks that Star Trek is still sci-fi. It's just not the same. Besides, their way of tying up loose ends and creating brilliant drama is by senselessly killing everything, as was demonstrated in the Generations movie.

basic summation of the argument:

I guess I'm the only person that doesn't want Neelix drawn and quartered. I kinda liked him as an eccentric addition. He wasn't used to the officious life of the Federation, and yet he still managed to find a place as somewhat of a counselor and an envoy. He was obviously for the most part a comedy relief character, but I liked him just because he was the kind of oddball.

As to my favorite, well, it has to be TNG. I wasn't a big fan of the series when they still had the gold stripes along the uniforms, so basically the first couple of seasons or so, but once they got rid of Tasha Yar, it was all gravy.

I'd say second place belongs to Voyager, as well, because I liked the concept of being stranded, and encountering entirely new things with each episode. It might have been gimmicky, but I felt like they worked it in well enough to the framework of the show that it didn't feel tacked on or obvious.

The big space battles in DS9 were just alright. What got me ticked off was that they kept using the same boring ships.

The Federation only ever seemed to have 1 Defiant, maybe 2 Galaxys, and hundreds of Mirandas (Those crappy looking easy-to-blow up ships). I never watched TNG so where was the Enterprise? (Sovereign class) or atleast some other bigger ships like a Nebula class or Akira. Heck wasn't the Prometheus (Shown in Voyager) created during the Dominion war?

Plus what happened to that freaking huge Dominion Battleship that owned the Valiant?

Did the Klingons only ever use Birds of Prey and maybe an occassional Vorcha? What about their capital ships?

DS9's battle scenes just didn't hold that much of a 'Ahhh Star Trek ships" spectacle for me.

The above may sound totally geekish but it just peeved me

People often criticise the quality of the acting in Voyager but aside from Harry Kim, I think it was pretty good. I thought that Kate Mulgrew who played Captain Janeway was fantastic and consistent from the start.

Voyager ruined the Borg.
Okay. Truth be told, the "First Contact" movie ACTUALLY began ruining it.
Voyager just kicked the whole Borg concept down the drain.

I mean...
In TNG two Borg Cubes were a meneace beyond belief.
In Voyager they're outrun by a pimped shuttle.

I always thought Kate Mulgrew never got the respect she deserved. I loved her in System Shock 2 (the videogame), and she did a great job of playing a hardened captain. I thought a lot of people discredited her for some of the scripts she was given to show her softer sides. I didn't like the scripts, but I don't hold it against Kate.

I'd have to say that I can see that the arguments presented aren't entirely fallacious. There are some good points made there, and some connections which I never actually made. I'm not sure why I didn't make some of those connections myself, now that you come to mention them.

I'm certainly not in agreement with the conclusion that either show is a wholesale rip-off from the other. I'd say that during the genesis of and the run of B5 and DS9 there was probably a little cross-pollination, but there were also a lot of differences, both in style and in content.

As a side-note, I used to be a pretty big fan of B5, but I've cooled off on that show a lot.

Deep Space Nine is my favorite show ever. I have not seen Babylon 5, though.
DS9 is a very well written, elegant show with such powerful & articulate actors who play, and most notably, Dukat, Garak, Weyoun, the female founder, and more.

TNG is my 2nd favorite show ever made. The storyline ideas are generally stand-alone but are very solid and brilliant. What makes DS9 better is the conflict in some characters, whereas TNG has a cast of people that are goodie-goodie and all like each other.

The rest of the Trek's are no where near my top 10 ever, but:

ENT is the 3rd best Trek mainly because of season 3's intensity -- regardless that hard Trek fans like me have problems with how they did some things. I didn't care for the first two seasons, but the last one was solid up until the finale.

VOY is 4th.... only a few shiners. My favorite episode of that whole show is "Shattered". I recommend that.

TOS I don't watch too much but plan on it.

The biggest issue for the argument of DS9 playing off of B5 is that the studio had the "bible" for B5 in their hands for the year leading up to DS9's conception. It's just sort of odd that they'd suddenly spin away from the regular Trek concept of being episodic and incorporate that many elements that show up in B5. JMS doesn't blame the writers, he blames the studio that supplies notes. Wouldn't surprise me if they'd used some of his stuff.

Sure, I'm prepared to accept that. What I mean is that it seems like they took the concept in a direction which was diffent to Straczynsky's plan for B5. The concept is similar, as are certain elements, but the execution was different.

I found that B5 lost all sense of coherency towards the end of the Shadow War. It stayed good, but it was never as good as it promised to be. DS9 on the other hand, seemed to gain in strength as it went along. I enjoyed the denoument of the arc story immensely.

Oh, there I won't argue with you. And the reason it fell apart at the end of the shadow war is that JMS thought he had another year to wrap it up, and then they tell him he's being cancelled, so he rushes it, does one of the WORST story arc endings in Sci Fi history just to get some closure, and then they tell him "oh wait, we'll renew you." It boned the whole series.

I completely agree with this, although I was very fond of the end of Season 4. It's ok for it to end in that quick, neat and tidy way because Sheridan pulls off some genius tactics.

The problem for me was Season 5 and those whiny annoying telepaths in their spoilt quest to bargain for their own planet. Season 5 was an anticlimax to say the least! However it wasn't all bad. The Drac storyline was quite well executed and kept me interested to the end.

http://www.memory-alpha.org/en/image...n_Return_1.jpg
I count 5 Galaxies, several Akira's, mulitple Excelsiors and a fair few Miranda's. Plus the Prometheus was an experiment, not a full ship-of-the-line vessel.

It was only a prototype as I recall.

Why would the Klingon's really need to use anything else? BOP's are strong, fast little ships. Vor'Cha's and those frikkin huge ones that beat the shit out of DS9 in 'The Way of the Warrior' were slow, ungainly things that were easy pickings for the nippier Dominion craft.

You think you sound geeky? After what I just typed I'm about ready to go live iin my mums basement.

She was in System Shock 2? Because I'm staring at a VA list for the game right now, and she's not on it. She's been in some interesting things (she was in Gargoyles, just like a dozen other Star Trek actors were), but I don't think System Shock was one of them.

Indeed. The original concept for the ending of B5 would certainly have been better than what was realised. As far as I'm concerned, we got something in the region of 3.7 excellent seasons, but I acknowledge that Straczynsky wasn't entirely to blame for the 1.3 seasons which followed.

In the end, the series as presented to us is all we have, though. So it remains a deeply flawed work of sci-fi genius. The greater the apparent potential, the higher the standard I hold a show to. This is why I can tolerate pulp sci-fi such as the early seasons of Stargate, or E:FC with pleasure, but criticise B5 for failing to fulfil the potential which was so richly in evidence during the second, third, and early fourth season.

I remain unhappy with the end of season four myself, but not to an extraordinary degree. I certainly don't agree with you that the end of that season was well executed. I maintain that while there were excellent individual episodes on offer, the pacing felt (as would be expected) wildly out of synch with that of the preceding seasons.

Pacing is an important matter to me, and poor pacing is often the reason why I eventually discontinue to watch a series. It affects my enjoyment immensely, although more so during the broadcast run of a series than when viewing it on DVD. I might add that if B5's pacing was a little fast, towards the end, there were times when the pacing of DS9 seemed a little too slow.

It also suffered from Wesley syndrome, in that I wanted Sisko's son to just fucking die already. Children don't belong on space dramas.

Ugh. I thought she played Delacroix, but now I remember Shodan used a voice adjuster/enhancer to disguise itself. It REALLY sounds like her, but I'm so busted. I'll still bet if anybody plays the game, they can not tell the difference.

Insert my bit of patheticness here. I've seen:

Original Series: ALL
Next Generation: ALL
DS9: ALL of the first 5 seasons, most of the last 2 (currently going through the DVDs)
Voyager: Probably about half
Enterprise: Only the frst season

Of the series, I find that I like TNG the most overall, although TOS still holds a special place in my heart when you consider that its closest competition was Lost In Space - it may not be amazing compared to modern Sci-Fi, but it was REVOLUTIONARY for its time. I hated DS9 for a long time until I started watching the DVDs and finding out that there was actually a point to how retarded half of the characters seemed. I've always liked Voyager, even though it seems like no one else does, and Enterprise never quite did it for me.

For the record, both the Shodan and Delacroix voices were done by Terri Brosius, a game designer at (the now dead) Looking Glass studios. Looking Glass had some fantastic voice talent kicking around the office, Terri among them, and they did a lot of the voice-acting themselves in their games. You'll also recognise Terri as Viktoria in Thief 1 and 2, Lauryl in Thief 3, and a bunch of the female extras. Maybe Kate Mulgrew inspired her Delacroix voice. ;)

That wouldn't surprise me. Kate Mulgrew as Captain Janeway always had that deep, respect demanding voice. I'm still trying to dig up some voice overs from the game to post up for comparison.

I grew up with the original series (though not when it was originally airing; my uncle would show me episodes of that and other shows like the Outer Limits and the Twilight Zone when he would babysit) and the Next Generation, and I suppose as a result I'm more predisposed to like them. However, Deep Space Nine is probably my favorite, and if not then Next Gen just barely ties it.

Not only did I enjoy the ongoing story arcs (as previously mentioned, a lot of the time Next Gen felt far too episodic in nature) but the character development and interaction was unparalleled. The only things it lacked when held up beside TNG were Patrick Stewart (as much as I like Avery Brooks, he would not uncommonly go into melodrama mode and really ham up his motivational speeches) and John de Lancie. Q was the best recurring character any series of Star Trek ever had, and I wish DS9 used him as much as TNG did. His dialogues with Picard were AWESOME.

I don't think comparing any of the Star Treks to Babylon 5 is really fair in terms of the story arcs each used, because Babylon 5s entire story was written, start to finish, before the show even started being filmed. All of the Star Treks of course, while perhaps keeping a general idea of where they wanted things to go in mind, were written as the show was already underway. Take your favorite piece of fiction and consider how it might have been different if the author were still writing the ending when you were already halfway through.

Something I always enjoyed about DS9 was the ability of the writers, actors, and directors to go off on a wild tangent in the middle of a really heavy story arc with a ridiculous comedy episode. I'll never forget the episode about the baseball game against the Vulcan team the Logicians, and Worf instructing Nog to "find him and kill him" when asked what to do about a Vulcan who stole a base.

Even smaller scenes in otherwise serious episodes (like a certain discussion Quark and Odo have comparing root beer with Federation philosophy) could be side-splitting, and I always appreciated that willingness to work something like that it.

The characters, as I mentioned before, were very well written, and equally as well acted. Sisko's almost imperceptible grins when you could tell he was pleased with himself for strongarming someone into doing something they didn't want to do, Garak's repartees with Bashir, Odo's unspoken friendship with Quark, they were all great.

Next Gen had similar moments, but none as memorable to me, really. Patrick Stewart and Brent Spiner totally ruled, though.

Voyager, on the other hand, I thought was terrible. It embarasses me that it was considered to be a show aimed at my age demographic, because I thought it was ridiculous. It was like the god damn Love Boat in space. Every five fucking minutes someone needed to talk about their relationship. Janeways voice didn't help matters either. God. The only saving grace of that catastrophe was the doctor, and shit did he ever kick ass. You could tell those involved with the show realized how much he owned too, 'cause near the end he started getting tons of episodes.

I watched a couple episodes of Enterprise and thought it sucked, so I can't really comment. The only cool thing I saw it do was come up with a sort of reasonable explanation for the deal with the Klingons changing between Next Gen and the original series. Though, I still appreciated Worf's insistence that they "do not speak of it with outsiders" as a perfect response.

And just reading what was written previously, Neelix could seriously fuck off from episode one. Garbage character. He can take that annoying bitch Kes with him, too.

Also, I agree with Wesley Crusher and Jake Sisko needing to join Neelix in exiting their respective series before they ever began.

Voyager for me. I just thought the premise was great, with interesting characters that never seemed "gimmicky." DS9 is a close second; it was pretty original to base it on a space station vs. a ship and that lead to interesting dynamics, although I never found the local politics to be interesting. I really enjoyed Enterprise once they got into the Temporal Wars. I never got to watch TNG much because I didn't have control of the TV when I was that age, unfortunately. TNG is a little to much like a starched shirt for me: it didn't have the "shoot from the hip" feel of DS9 or Voyager, or even Enterprise. I really enjoy that "shoot from the hip" feel that Farscape and Firefly had - it's what made those shows. As for TOS, I haven't seen too many episodes, but it's now such an old show that it's hard to compare it to anything. I'll just say I can enjoy watching it but it's nothing I would seek out.

Probably TNG. But I hate choosing, 'cause I dig most of the Trek I've seen: the majority of it from TNG and the Original. I've seen a few DS9s also, and during the time I used to tape episodes of that one for a friend of mine (I'm sure DS9 is his favorite, probably followed by Original), the series was just ramping up to the Dominion conflict, and man, was that damned exciting.

@ Majin yami

On the contrary, I see 12 stupid Miranda classes lol, that ship just pisses me off.

The battle scenes in Babylon 5 were just awesome though. That was a show where ship-combat scenes were impressive.

Cause in DS9, you hear about this gigantic 100+ ship fleet getting blown up to just a few several remaining ships and when you think about the sheer number of Mirandas you just go WTF. Plus none of the ships look "Cool".

When I think of Sci-Fi and space ships I want to see well done space battles as often as possible for the simple fact that it is science fiction.

Here's a You-Tube video of a whole bunch of Babylon 5 ship combat scenes. Thats what I call impressive. Not Miranda-Heaven (lol)

http://youtube.com/watch?v=PpH3rsCGCjE

For those Star Wars fans who haven't seen Babylon 5, this is a taste of what you can expect.

TNG for me.

http://picard.ytmnd.com enough said lol.

But in all, I grew up watching mostly TNG. While I've watched DS9 and Voyager... TNG had something that the other two seasons didn't.
