1. DS9 - i am a big fan of the continuing story line. ds9 goes from point a to point b and then picks up at point b in the next episode. point b continues on too point c.. etc etc etc. i dig that. bashir grows so much. the growth of the bashir/obrien relationship is cool. same for quark/odo. i love how the characters all grew together or into different more beautiful ways. i can not explain it very well, but if you have seen it.. i am sure you understand what i am trying to say. the only thing i did not like was the odo/kira get together. LAME!

2. TOS - i dont like putting tos so high becaue it makes me come off as like one of those 'im hardcore because i like the original' neener neener neener.. love my greatness.. sort of thing.. but that is not the case at all. i have probably seen only 1/3 to 1/2 of TOS but i love every bit of it. the only character that gets on my nerves is Checkov(spelling?).

3a. TNG - I was tempted to put this behind voyager. I love TNG, but i have this weird fascination with voyager. sometimes tng feels sort of old. it also does a point a to point b.. but the next episode.. everything is back at point a.. i like how things continue and move on.

3b. VOY - i think i may be the only person who actually digs voyager. the doctor is just such a rockin character. also, guys like paris and chakotay, while obnoxious and boring in the beggining, grow on you by the end of it. i actually cared about them. the same can be said with janeway. one thing i really disliked was 7of9. she has so much more potential. she was overused. her whole 'i have no idea what this is because im bored' thang grew old quick! and how come at the end janeway is the new 'borg expert'. picard was freakin locutus!

5. ENT - i like the idea, but i can not stand archer. his character is so wishy washy at times. it seems like they are trying to force a kirk-like image on too bakula and he just isnt feelin' it. i liked the idea of a continuing plot this season, but it is getting kinda lame. at one point the xindi lizard guys actually said in a bush-like manner 'you are either with us or against us'. i mean cmon.. if you want to put your politics into the thing.. hide it better! make us work for it!

5. - I haven't watch it so I can't say.

In otherwords, what Schadenfroh said, except with Babylon 5 > all.

I'd rate DS9 best, Enterprise coming in a close second, then TNG. Never cared for Voyager and TOS was only mediocre but I respect TOS a lot since without that series, there would not have been any star trek.

1) DS9
2) TNG
3) ENT
4) VOY
5) TOS

3 and 4 are hard to say but so far enterprise has IMO been better then voyager


DS9 is easily the best for its interesting story arc and detailed character development.

DS9 > Ent > Voy > TNG > TOS

I like large, overarching plots, whereas the sheer lack of accomplishment in TOS/TNG drives me nuts. I'd honestly rate TNG over Voy, but for all the good acting and other positives for TNG, it's hard not to dock it for the lack of progress.

The first 3 seasons of DS9 blew ass. Bajoran whiney this, prophets that, bajoran spiritual this, the cardassians raped our planet... boo hoo. The last 4 were pretty cool, but only because they had a lot of special effects, not really quality entertainment IMO. TNG brought up some cool social issues and confronted some tough situations. Voyager was alright I guess, but Janeway pissed me off a lot, and they had the WORST episode out of all 5 series to date (stupid clown fear one).

oh well...

DS9>VOY>TNG=ENT>>>>>>TOS

DS9 is very close to VOY, and TNG is at the same level with ENT
sorry hardcore people, but i just don't get TOS, bad acting, bad actors, bad script, it does have some brilliant storylines but that's about it.

LMAO at the clown episode ("The Swarm") .. Literally one of the stupidest things ever put on television.

I agree nearly 100% with your assesment, I liked the concept of voyager more than TNG but VOY seemed to have two writing teams...in one episode Janeway would be all 'we must obey the prime directive' and in the next she'd be 'fvch the prime directive, we need our people back!' -- if they had gone with one or the other, it would have been much better. But voyager definitely had it's moments, almost all of them after kess left. 7 of 9 was a much more interesting character :beer: (seriously though). I remember loving that episode where they go back to WWII with that predator species. Good stuff.

Good to see there aren't many die-hard Kirk fans here. That is one character I'd have enjoyed seeing die a terrible death in the first episode (and not come back).
The only one which 'saved' TOS for me was Spock, but thanks to Kirk it still ranks somewhere at the bottom.
