What is you favourite Star Trek Series?

[Lord Buschguy]

Greetings fellow Trekkies, normal enjoyers, dislikers and other human beings watching TV shows!
For quite some time of friend of mine and I are wondering what is considered the best of all Star Trek shows among the fan base. So one day, we decided to look it up in various surveys and on forums, to come to the conclusion that we must have either watched Star Trek with the wrong pair of eyes equipped or that teletext surveys just ain't doing it. So I decided to ask you guys out there, what you consider to be the best of all Trek!

In order to allow an easier transfer from your comments into my excel table, I would politely ask you to make the name of your pick, the header of your comment.
Feel free to also give a reason for why you think so, and maybe even name your favourite episode right beneath!

Qapla' tlhIH puj be'Hom!

what did o'biran even ever do other than be irish?

He helped Tosk
He kept DS9 running as a one man engi-army
He was the hero of Setlik III
He sacrificed his life, so his former future self could return to the past
He is a straight up professional on the battlefield
And he is Irish (as a friend of all that is irish this would probably be reason enough already)
I gotta admit that his character was pretty bald in TNG though

Ah, the series about space communists going all missionary and ruining the galaxy one planet at a time. The Next Generation has some good moments but Sir Patrick Stewart is a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ knave who uses Reddit and should be thusly mocked for being a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ knave who uses Reddit.

Now William Shatner, there's a guy you want to meme with. I've only seen a bit of the original series, and it does have it's moments too. But at least the star of the show uses 4chan.

He's a big guy.

-maybe?
-ya, but it was a station... and he had supplies and ♥♥♥♥?
-not really overly familliar with setlik 3 other than having heard it mentioned without much explanation
-so he didn't actually sacrafice himself... people are physically destroyed and re-created every time they beam somewhere
-so is warf
-ok... he's irsh.

he really didn't do *that* much... not to say there's anything wrong with him... but he could just as easily have not been there and the plot could have worked around it.

idk, I only ever watched one episode of the enterprise series and called it when a gattling laser popped outta the bottom of the starship.

Can't remember a Gatling either, you sure were watching ENT?

Without O'Brien DS9 wouldn't be the same to me, the best Episodes likely feature him as a main protagonist and it is mentioned quiet often that noone knows how he keeps DS9 running, as only he got bajoran, cardassian and federation tech work together, and unlike beaming he really, knowingly and intentionally sacrifices himself more than once.
And unlike worf he doesn't have to put on an angry face to be professional or look dangerous (but that might be cause I've never been a big worf fan)

well that's just a diversity tool... we've established that star trek is a winner for their diversity.

but in reality like... really? o'brian is the only one that could keep the station running? like if admiral paris or commander janeway had ordered him to instruct someone else on how to maintain DS9 he'd have led a begorin/cardassian mutiny on a federation station when there are no cardassians around and odin is breathing down his neck? odis could have just shape shifted into a new reactor ffs... problem solved.

Worf's greatest role - I am Weasel

I thought his best role was when he was somehow disabled by an empty plastic barrel that bounced off him...

Whenever he leaves the station for more than a day whole DS9 breaks apart,
which is probably also the reason why he leaves off to become a university lecturer at the starfleet academy once the war has ended

Yeah, he's a man's man. A pretty swood dude, if you will.

The ♥♥♥♥ does swood mean anyhow?

not communist, in communism all is property if everyone.

post scarcity technocracy.

many goods can be replicated.
every citycen of the federation gets a number of energy credits to use to repicate whatever they want.

however many other goods can not be replicated and are scare..
*everybody can be given a house but mansions in france or apartments in san fransisco are limited goods.
homecooked meals, antique relics.. are other non scarse goods..
and services like transporters is or fast ferry to other planets is for the army (aka federation) only.
civilians can get the scraps and take slow public transport for their commute..
these scarse goods are often handed out as favors.. used to generate pull to get favors back later.. so its not money thats traded in the federation its influence..

even in the clear command structure of the "army" more often than not its this favortism that get things done over clear protocol.

the one thing that shows the 1984 aka technocratic side of the federation when people wish to leave the federation....

and energy credits are rationed when energy is in short supply.. so its more lile a base income.... but one that cannot be used to buy the true scarse goods.

its not the federation has no money or cannot do trade...
its just energy is so plentifull the federation can on many worlds give you free housing.. better housing cannot be bought just gifted by rank or by pleasing the right people.
same with food, clothing, transportation, healthcare..

so you basicly only need money when dealing with non feds or on the outskirts. colonies where energy is still scarse..
