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!

Messaggio originale di L1qu1dator:

Yep, gotta watch the OG with a lot of reserve.

Kirk. - Should be. - The best. - Captain -. Ever. - Shame that. - He talks. - Like this. - And hand movements. - All over. - No one's safe. - From Karate Kirk.

I've enjoyed Star Trek but never thought of myself as a "Trekkie"....

The Original
Deep Space Nine
The Next Generation
Voyager
Enterprise ( but I don't know if I saw all episodes? )

I guess...

No reason to identify as anything, wouldn't call myself a real "Trekkie" either, but I found it to be a fitting opening for the post ^^.

Anyway thanks for your entry!

Yeah, the kirks karate-neck-chop was something the universe simply wasn't prepared for.

I also really love how much desinterest in the things happening around him he can be.

I'm thinking of the episode, where some aliens tell him of "a great wall of energy that surrounds your galaxy" and all he has to say was "Yes I know, I've been there."

That is what I thought of too, but the research the friend of mine and I made, showed a suprisingly large Voyager fanbase (which would be the 4th show then)

My favorites are probably Voyager and Discovery, but I really enjoyed The Next Generation after Season 1 after they figured out what worked. Especially the character development of the crew.

Discovery has a special place for me though because it's really the new generation of Star Trek, and I love how progressive and diverse it is. Plus, the visual effects are incredible. Just had to get used to the new Klingons.

Favorite captains probably still are Picard and Janeway though. I love the actors they cast for their roles.

[The Commendatore]

The OG Series. Seriously, it's impressive and true dedication to the craft from the actors back then when they did all those stunts themselves.

Shatner truly perfected the neck chop so nobody got hurt despite the deadly move.

If any untrained person would try that? Broken hand or worse.

Many people tried to chop without training beforehand, but none of them were ever to be seen again

Agree...

I get the feeling that the show that was their first experience is usually the one they like the most...

Yup, the first TNG season still has a lot of the Kirk writing in it, but they found their own way pretty quick.

I still don't get why the Klingons had be reworked again, but someone probably thought they needed it. The effects on the other hand are something that makes the new shows impossible for me to watch, as all the flashing lights and CGI give me a bad headache pretty fast.

To me nothings is on par with the TNG effects, all hand crafted only pieced together on the PC, the nebulas and asteroids as well as all the ships, they made a seperate miniature for are just looking so incredibly good to me. Unbeatable

am I the only one who doesn’t watch Star Trek?

[kilésengati]

Not a Trekkie, but:

1. DS9
2. TNG
3. ENT

Haven't really watched TOS and VOY was a tad weird at times.

Also NuTrek my arse.
