People are missing out, can't believe the drumhead and the measure of a man arent on this list.

And no DS9.

Justin Credible Darts · 10-09-2017 08:39PM

there are plenty others who have watched every episode and movie.
In my case I have them all on a hard drive

So 70% of the episodes most watched feature the Borg.

I wonder why they didn't include the animated series. Did everyone else skip it in their re-watch?

donspeekinglesh · 10-09-2017 10:27PM

I started with TNG and am working my way forward. Half way though Voyager now. But I will probably go back and watch TOS and then TAS next.

That's legitimately baffling; impossible to be sure but I'd love to know what's giving Voyager such a bump in the numbers. The presence of Kate Mulgrew in Netflix's own Orange is the New Black perhaps? As mentioned, The Borg feature heavily in the list, so maybe that's a clue too.

It's particularly weird when it feels more like DS9 is getting a fair amount of reevaluation & resurgence if you look around the internet; yet it's obviously not reflective in the numbers. I guess it could be because it was the more serialised of Treks, so probably wouldn't account for much 'dipping in' viewers.

helimachoptor · 12-09-2017 04:24PM

that list is shocking.
How is "in the pale moonlight" not there

Inviere · 12-09-2017 04:27PM

Important to remember that a huge amount of Trek fans have and use their own dvd/blu ray/digital media, Netflix could be serving a lot like a 'casuals guide' here... Unfortunately, Paramount will likely take note

I wonder if it's an age thing. People who were young enough to remember Voyager fondly during it's original run (i.e. not old enough to have seen TNG and realise Voy was just a poor imitations :P :pac:) are now at an age where they have the free time to binge on Netflix. Like mid-20s or so.

TNG fans are just that bit older and wiser and all-round better people, with less free time.

I have noticed Voyager pops up in my recommended section on Netflix but none of the others despite me having watched them all there, but I don't know if that's the result of it being the most popular series or the cause.

It's a scam to discredit old trek in favour of JJ trek film sales :eek:

Arguably the best episode of the entire series (though The Visitor would also be in contention there for me)

TNG would have to be The Inner Light

VOY... I really liked the 2-part Dark Frontier, but probably Message In A Bottle tops it

ENT... Easily the 2-part In A Mirror, Darkly. Mostly because the characters actually had a bit of life and the scenario was far more interesting.

TOS... Either Balance of Terror, or Mirror Mirror.. with The Doomsday Machine a close 2nd/3rd.

Same here. Voyager is always one of the first shows that Netflix recommends me and is usually in the list of shows which are 'trending'. You wouldn't stumble across DS9 unless you were specifically looking for it.

Kiith · 14-09-2017 08:05AM

TNG - Measure of a Man
DS9 - The Visitor / Way of the Warrior
Voy - Year of Hell / One
Ent - honestly can't remember any of them

Damage is probably one of the best Enterprise episodes but you couldn't really watch it without the preceding few episodes.

E2 is also very very good
Similtude
First Flight
Carbon Creek
Twilight

Also the multi episode arcs in season 4.

There's actually people who prefer the muddy standard definition over the remasters?? Good God :rolleyes: The standard definition looks abysmal, yes it's what we grew up on, but seriously, it's vastly inferior in every way to the remasters.

27-09-2017 04:05PM

Very odd selection of Star Trek episodes. But it does show that Voyager does have some pretty damned decent episodes, though unfortunately the rest of the series let them down somewhat :pac:

Just look at 2:37 in FFS!!

The_Valeyard · 01-10-2017 02:49PM

anyone watch TOS remastered? They did s great job on it.

degrassinoel · 02-10-2017 03:53PM

switching between the remaster and the original is not something i'd recommend either

in other news.. Avery Brooks is 69 years young today!

Happy birthday Captain Sisko!

DS9 cast reunion

Marc Aliamo looks very frail.
Who's the dude between Cassidy and Ezri?

Also no Chief or Bashir

Yeah, that'd be producer Rick Berman.

Missing a certain Capt. Sisko too! I don't think Avery Brooks is really one for the carrier nostalgia.

Inviere · 17-10-2017 10:25AM

And a certain enigmatic Cardassian isn't there either. Alaimo looks very frail indeed

Speaking of, no Vic either. James Darren is 81 now though!
