Favourite Star Trek? (Page 1 of 2)

None. I don't like Star Trek.

Oh sure it's easy to dis Trek here in the 21st century. We've had a virtual deluge of great Sci Fi shows and movies over the last 15 years or so. When I was just a small boy growing up in California and TOS was brand new though, (before the original cancellation) it formed my taste in on screen entertainment.

Wow, I can't believe DS9 is trailing so far behind. Let's hope it picks up more votes, because objectively it is the Star Trek for the 21st century. As good as TNG was, it never dreamed of the story complexity and depth of DS9's last few seasons ...

"We're on the side of the demons, Chief. We're evil men in the gardens of paradise, sent by the forces of death to spread devastation and destruction wherever we go."

Voyager Is My Favorite with the odyssey story line
Second by The Next Generation for the original ideas and the wisdom and moral lesson  in every episode

TNG ftw  - there was no Captain like Picard

And me thinks DS9 was the weakest of all Star Trek series but still being better than most other general sci-fi

And on second place I would put Enterprise - this series is way misunderstood and didn't get the chance to reach its full potential

What do you mean "start"?  You haven't seen any Star Trek??? 

My god man, it's like you haven't even lived! 

You can't judge any of the Treks by the first season.  While I consider DS9 my favourite, I will always have a fondness in my heart for TNG as my first TV obsession, and looking back as a multiple viewer of every single episode, the first season is often laughable.  In fact I would say they don't find their feet until season 3.  That and season 4 are the best IMO.

my bitching aside, i am determined to get through DS9, mostly for the ron moore factor... and the fact that everybody i know who watched it with any sense of dedication just rave about the above quoted complexity and depth... watching Voyager though i found the only character i had a modicum of tolerance for was Tom Paris... and the rest, like i said... plain annoying... and i think, in hindsight, having sat here trying not to think about it, my distaste for TNG comes mostly from the fact that it was a huge deal to me when i was younger, but when i decided to rerun the episodes last year all it clearly fell into the "you can't go home again" basket... maybe i should try to be a bit more open minded... maybe...

/me is off to watch some DS9 now... :S

huh...? methinks if you are going to make posts purely to draw attention to the number of posts you have made, you forfeit the right to pay attention to how many posts you have made...

edit: only post counts of pop-culturally significant numbers should be recognised...
ie 420... for the pot refrence...; 5150... for the van halen/insanity thing...; 4815162342...

gah... i'll get over it when we get rid of it

and as far as the remastered TOS goes... i think it achieves what they wanted with it [making it more palatable for a younger audience]... but personally, it wasn't for me... part of the charm of the untouched episodes was how bad they looked...

hmmm... well i'll let it slide then... consider y'rself off the hook...

TNG is the one for me.
