Star Trek

I would like to ask what everyones favourite Star Trek TV series is?

Firstly, I would like to say that I enjoy all the different series.

ST: TOS: This has to be the best, because it has some of the best stories.

ST:TNG: 2nd for me. It has wonderful cast, almost as iconic as the original.

DS9/Enterprise: 3rd equal. I love the darker tone of DS9. Enterprise was very fresh and had a great cast. Who knows how could it could have been if it had not have been cancelled?

Voyager: another fresh twist, but I did not enjoy the finale.

Never really got into Star Trek I'm afraid. I'm more of a Doctor Who man.

God knows Doctor Who lifted as much from Trek as Trek lifted from Hollywood and Shakespeare.
I enjoyed the original Star Trek, Dagger of the Mind, The Menagerie and Balance of Terror are favourites.

For me, Enterprise is the best. Second after that is The Next Generation.

It's a shame they scrapped Enterprise. I think people were a bit Star Trekked out.
Bring back Bond!

I like Enterprise too. I was just getting good when tehy canned it. That last episode was total crap. Troy and Riker looked 20 years older. At first I didn't catch they were tieing in to a ST-TNG show.

I would have liked enterprice to continue on just long enough to get through the "Romulian Wars" Which we never leared much about in teh original series.

I like TOS the best because it's the most enjoyable. DS9 comes second because it not only manages to gain its own identity but is also the best written Trek series. TNG is good, it's a riff of TOS but it's still good. ENT's fourth season is pretty nice, too bad the first three were utterly wasted. VOY was a total waste of a promising premise, instead of becoming an interesting show about survival it's basically TNG-lite.

I've been Netflixing through Voyager, attempting to watch the entire series, which I have never done.

So far? I only really like about a dozen episodes. And I'm just only at the ending of the fourth season. :?

I wonder if there should be a next ST TV show taking place in the 26th century.

In my opinion Paramount should have finished what they started with Enterprise. With the film reboot Paramount effectively muscled themselves out of the Television market for a number of years to come.

Unless they make a Star Trek: Countdown miniseries.

I would say Star Trek: Countdown should be adapted into a miniseries. This could be a swan song for the TNG crew.

And what about another Trek series taking place between Enterprise and the Star Trek reboot?

I don't think there is enough room in the time line for a after Star Trek Enterprise and pre Star Trek reboot series.

No. I don't think so. Star Trek is committed to the rebooted series, any new series is in limbo until the Star Trek universe's history is consolidated.

Enterprise was rubbish. They were trying to do TNG and later shows with Ferengi and cybermen set in pre TOS timeline.

Thankfully for the shows fourth series it was overhauled and experienced writers who knew their Trek were brought in and in my opinion helped to turn that show around by finally syncing it with Star Trek TOS.
