    TOS.

    I watched the premier of TNG and didn't like it atall. The series DID get better after a few years, but even so. And what was up with Riker? Half the time he looked at Picard it looked like he wanted to throw him to the floor and make sweet sweet love to the man. Which IS as disturbing as it sounds.

    I guess DS9 would be my runner up, but again the later episodes when Sisko finally shaved his head and grew some balls.

    I'll give my vote for Deep Space Nice, the only original one after TOS. Every episode in TOS, TNG, Voyager and Enterprise could easily be part of any of the other shows, and in any of their seasons, but not DS9. DS9 also had a continual story line.

    The Dominion War put DS9 in first place for me. It was so good to see Trek with a long running story arc.

    As for all the other series, I liked them all about the same.

    DS9, by far.

    The movies were a mixed bag, but I can unreservedly say that II, IV, and VI were awesome.

    My opinion on the others ranges from ambivalent (TNG, TOS) to hostile (VOY, ENT).

    Im a TOS guy. it took my 3 years to warm up the TNG, but i was finally won over for the most part. i hate DS9,but not quite as much as i hate voyager. oddly enough i thought Enterprise was pretty good.. but i did go downhill after the 2nd season.

    I liked DS9 the best. The cast was awesome and I liked the Dominion war. I would say I liked Voyager after that and then TNG.

    Deep Space Nine has three of the five best episodes of Trek ever written ("In the Pale Moonlight", "Far Beyond the Stars" and "For The Uniform"). After DS9, I'd fo with The Next Generation (more or less because of the episode "The Inner Light") and TOS ("City on the Edge of Forever").

    Voyager didn't have anything overly memorable but the series wasn't bad. Enterprise... it happened. We need to accept it and move on.

    DS9

    the series was amazing.

    It can be looked at as two series really though.

    DS9 pre Worf was good but not great.

    DS9 post Worf is freaking awesome.

    I loved all series and movies except the original series. The original had crummy sets and special fx.

    The Next Generation. Definitely. I haven't watched much DS9 and not THAT much TOS but I know I prefer TNG, I grew up on it(somewhat). Nearly each episode, I want to hug Picard, he's just so ****ing awesome!

    I'm torn. I grew up with TNG, so my natural instinct is to say TNG. But after watching it again recently, I've noticed some episodes are very long and drawn out and slow and... well... occasionally quite boring. Watching TOS now though, for as old as it is, I find every episode is exciting and has a great atmosphere of exploration.

    It's not really a complaint about TNG though, it went for a long time, and while it was on TV, I prefer a longer, slower series... To me it just doesn't have a great level of rewatchability.

    So I guess I'm probably leaning more towards TOS at the moment.

    Can't comment on any of the other series as, even though I've planned to forever, I still haven't got around to watching them... Might start with DS9.

    I caught the episode where they decide whether Data was property of star fleet or not a few days ago. I haven't watched much Trek recently, but that reminded me of how much Picard pretty much owns everyone.

    Edit- Matsky, definitely give DS9 a go. Like most series season 1 is somewhat meh till they get in the swing of things, but 2 - 6 is just made of win.

    The Next Generation, without a doubt.

    I grew up on Next Generation. And even after all these years, I can pop in a DVD and find great stimulation from it!

    Although I also very much enjoy The Original Series.

    As for the rest... well they kind of went downhill from there, culminating in the embarrassment that was "Enterprise" (at that point, I started watching Battlestar Galactica)

    Well, that would be TOS as I grew up with that series, DS9 because it when you get older you start recognizing all the self righteous streams of verbal diarrhea, and the second half of DS9 had much less of it. Next Generation was meh... because of some silly plots and said verbal diarrhea. I know that TOS was preachy but, even being born in the early 80's it was still cool to watch when I was young, especially with arguably the coolest characters in the mythos, and the torrents of dying red-shirts.

    Voyager was horrible, I am sorry, but voyager by plot/dialogue/characters, it was smarmy and self-righteous, and the self-destruct cliche was overused ( I on multiple occasions hoped Janeway would go all the way so it would shut her stupid trap forever ) and even having unlocked a liberated Borg with my life-time account, I would still have the liberated Borg character on the bottom of my choices because one of them was a crew member of that horrible show. All in all I wished I could warp into the tv and slowly roast Voyager over a hyper-nova. And if you thought of my critique of Voyager as harsh. I assure you, my opinnion of that joke of a series known as Enterprise was, much, much lower.

    those two alone could plot-wise be the equivalent of the preequal trilogy of star wars and attaching them to the mythos is like attaching dried dog TRIBBLE to a Fillet Mignon that's already afflicted by freezer burn. After that I thought the only way Star Trek could go from there, was down... way down. To brown town.

    So naturally I was happy JJ Abrams came along, took the entire series, dropped it into a industrial wood chipper, to put it out of its misery, and further incinerated the wood chips and pulps, finally taking the ashes and building into the finest series universal jump starts a stale scifi series that was apparently laced with cow-pie could ever ask for.

    After watching them all again on DVD...

    DS9, for all it's "whew, that's bad" in the beginning, paints the most compelling characters... and gets my favorite slot. TNG and TOS tie for second. Voyager was the worst in oh so many ways, but brought some cool ideas and races to the table, so it edges out the mediocre Enterprise for third.

    I look forward to the inevitable TV series based in the jaybraham timeline... I look forward to it in the same way that I did this game in recent months... hopeful thinking with intentionally lowered expectations.
