Which is your most favourite Star Trek series?
As you are probably aware a new Star Trek tv series is going to start in January 2017 and we are currently discussing it in this thread. Everybody has different tastes and whilst the new films have proven to be popular, I personally prefer the themes of the TNG movies and I am hoping that the "Star Trek-ness" is going to be reflected in the new series as well.
Each of the previous series has it's pro's and cons; I love the TNG crew, I love the war with the Dominion and Sisko having to walk the line in terms of doing the right thing and obeying orders/rules and I love Voyager for the science, the ship and the Borg. What is your favourite?

Re: Which is your most favourite Star Trek series?
TNG for me... but only just ,Voyager was good but pipped at the post by TNG because Patrick Stewart is more watchable than Kate Mulgrew who was just bloody irritating

I agree, Patrick Stewart is the best captain by miles.

Re: Which is your most favourite Star Trek series?
Yes, picard was the best.
There was a time when TNG/Voyager & DS9 all overlapped and were on TV at the same time, I think anything in the same Universe can get used too much and become stale if milked to excess.

Re: Which is your most favourite Star Trek series?
well the good news is that it has been 10 years since we have had any new Star Trek to watch so I am hyped for this. I just hope they stick to 20-26 episode seasons and don't do anything gay like 12 episodes. I love GoT and it sets the bar for quality but you just get in to it and realise that it is episode 10 and the season has finished.

Re: Which is your most favourite Star Trek series?
Particle Of The Week (Voyager) had its moments, but for me, you can't beat TNG. It really got going from mid season 2 IMO, and got better and better throughout. NexGen effectively validates the genius of the original idea, because it was, from launch, a continuation of it. The flaws in DS9 (too static) Voyager (too isolated ... exactly how many shuttles does an Intrepid class starship carry?) and Enterprise (not enough tech, especially in the early seasons. Transporters were an inspired idea in the original series, for good reasons) are all, to a greater or lesser extent, caused by deviating from one or more of the plot devices that made TOS and TNG so flexible.
Having said that, I've watched every episode of every series, often several times over, so they're not all that bad.

Re: Which is your most favourite Star Trek series?
Well it was a close call between TNG and DSN but in the end it has to be DSN.

I think the animated series is also worth a mention - it wasn't bad at all.

Star Trek Continues is worth a mention too.

Re: Which is your most favourite Star Trek series?
Once it got going DSN was good, but overall I think TNG.

Re: Which is your most favourite Star Trek series?
Another vote for TNG. I remember when it started and I hated it, but I was soon buying the VHS tapes soon enough.
I never thought I'd warm to DS9 as it definitely had a different vibe to it than the rest of the Trek universe. But I find watching old episodes of different Trek series' and its DS9 that seems to stand the test of time the best for me.

Re: Which is your most favourite Star Trek series?
For me it's a close call between TNG and Voyager.
I was just turning 16 when Voyager started and I just remember being wowed by it. Was the first fully cg series as well I think as didnt use models from the start.
I did enjoy the earlier DS9 series but was bored by the end.

Re: Which is your most favourite Star Trek series?
I voted DS9, but only really from S4. Other than that, I would then say VOY, TOS, TNG - although TNG did have some outstanding episodes.

Re: Which is your most favourite Star Trek series?
TOS, often imitated never bettered.
When I was growing up it was always Star Trek over Dr Who (which I still don't really watch to this day). As dilli says - the animated series was good too. Thinking about it I've enjoyed all the TV series but can't say I've been that impressed with the last couple of films.
Cheers
Grim
