DS9 was my favourite by a mile - it was ahead of its time
DS9 wasn't bad - the characters of Garak, Bashir, O'Brien and Weyoun were my favourites. You can keep the pseudo-religious pah wraithy bits towards the end. To my mind they took a great character - Dukat - and wrecked him.

TNG

You've left out SNW.
Boy there's a lot of Star Treks all of a sudden.
Difficult to place SNW and LD because they still feel quite new, but this feels about right for the moment. The top 6 there are all golden in my books anyway.
TAS at the bottom partly because I haven't really watched it all, at least not in a long long time.
Oops, cheers! Added now. Can't believe I forgot that!
TNG the series that introduced me to trek will always be my favorite. I remember when I first watched voyager all those years ago I wasn’t too impressed and have never rewatched but after Picard binged it on Netflix and I really misjudged it. Sure voyager had a lot of flaws but it was actually quite good
Next Generation are the only ones I've seen. For a sci-fi show, it's not too bad.
Check out DS9 - was ahead of it's time. Especially season 3/4 onwards.
Star Trek: the Next Generation
"It's not too bad".
I mean. Yeah. It ain't. 🤭
I watched one I found quite intriguing (Deep Space Nine S4 "The Visitor"), but that was it.
The other few episodes (idk from what season) I tried watching were, em, also "ahead of my time" lol, just not my cup of tea.
Great episode that. Yes in the beginning DS9 talks a while to get going it's a bit slow and a lot of talking but they are devolving g the characters and letting you get to know the characters. These are not just one dimensional characters they are characters you will come to know and love and even some of the secondary characters have better character building and development than any from TNG which I also like by the way or that other rubbish show who's name I shull not say here but that could have been brilliant but was not but hay at least it has given us SNW.
But anyway once DS9 hits its stride from season 3 onwards its all excellent.
Good information, thanks! I am new to sci-fi and haven't truly appreciated it, sorry!
I was watching an episode of Next Generation, wish I knew which one, so you could listen to Geordi La Forge's exaggerated pauses mid-sentence. It was blatantly obvious (in this episode anyway) he was mimicking the exact over-dramatic speech pattern that William Shatner employed to capture attention as Kirk.
1. TNG,
2. DS9,
3. LD
4. SNW
5. Enterprise
6. T.O.S
7. Voyager
8. PIC
9. T.A.S
The top six three are all brilliant the last 3 had flaws like Voyager ruining the Borg for instance, Picard with its crappy serenity ship, annoying Raffi and crappy 1st and 2nd seasons after a great start but it had a great 3rd season. The only season of Picard I would fully watch again is the 3rd season.
T.A.S was just OK but terrible animation.
Star Trek ( the original series ) I guess it’s a nostalgia thing but it was magical when you were a kid and that intro played and you waited to see what would unfold over the show. When you look at some of the fight scenes now it’s comical with stunt doubles standing in to do fairly basic rolls and throws.The crew members just had a chemistry too that made it all work.More innocent times I suppose.
I am a fan of TNG, Voyager and DS9. I have not been able to see any recently made series as I only have terrestrial TV.
You could buy them on DVD or stream them. Don't bother with Discovery it's rubbish. Best forgotten about. After that season 1 and 3 of Picard are passable. Season 2 is terrible and old already.
Prodigy is a children's show but still good.
Lower Decks is brilliant. It takes a little while to get used to how hyper some of the characters are but it gets better and some great stories in it.
SNW is all good. There is one or two episodes that you might not like but for the most part it is good.
Thats it for now I think.
