DS9 gets my vote for many reasons.

 

For the Runabouts

 

For the lovely wrinkles of the Bajoran nose

 

For the Hippocratic Oath Episode

 

For Quark

 

And of course never forgetting For Ezri!! :blink:

I would have to say DS9 was my favorite Star Trek series because of the military action. I've alwaysed wanted to see the Federation in a long, struggleing war and I finaly got it with DS9.

The campy old 1970's BSG, right VR?

 

To answer the other question, I like Dr. Who the best. Preferably Jon Pertwee, Tom Baker, or Sylvester McCoy as the good Dr.

I'd go for TNG. I think I'm too young to fully appreciate TOS. Unfortunately I never really got into DS9 because I didn't have a TV when it was showing over here same goes for Enterprise.

I cannot pick just one, since I like them all.

 

BTW Im gonna put these in chronological Trek order so you can understand my list.

 

ENT- Although ruins most of some canonical stuff of Trek chronology, I enjoyed this this near the top of of the Treks. Although it was 3 seasons less then the older stuff (TNG/DS9/VOY) they put some cool stuff in there: Xindi (kicking Ent's behind), the Augments, Brent Spiner guest starring.

 

TOS- I did'nt like this alot, since I grew up with TNG although it was the beginning, it had some very intresting episodes. Plus I loved the now ancient 70's special effects :blink:. But They looked soo cool when used.

 

TNG- By far, I completely enjoyed this series. Now you can laugh at me if you will, but when I first started watching it with my family when i was young, I only thought the episodes took place only on the bridge, since that was only what i could remember watching when i was that young. The whole crew, even Wesley, were cool. I liked Wesley since he was the "life of the party" so to speak, and made episodes irregular, and hated by others.

 

DS9- I loved the station, loved Quark, and every crew member on the station. The other reason, is I loved the Battle of DS9 episodes when it was being assualted. That is why I have the Dominion Battle of DS9 + other battle scenes in my Bridge Commander opening. I just love seeing the Miranda being cut through its hull like a hit knife thru butter with a Cardassion compressor beam.

 

VOY- Im just gonna say, with the exception of Neelix and some terrible episodes i forget the name of, the whole series made me speechless, and i loved Endgame, which is why I downloaded it :D

 

TMP- Although not a series per se, im puting the movies in a group of their own. Best movie was "The Voyage Home" because it was soo funny. I enjoyed Generations and First Contact, FC for the Borg and the reason behind the title, I didnt enjoy Inserection at all, since it made no sense no matter how many times I watched it. Nemesis was best TNG movie, except for the Data killing =( Made me cry.

 

 

 

and THAT is my novel on my thoughts on the series.

Its all so good - but as i've mentioned in the many 'favourite series' polls i've encountered in my time here...Most people's favorite is their 'first trek', the one that introduced them to the Trek universe. For me, that would be Voyager, and for favorite captain, its Janeway, super cool lady, great leader. Anyway, thats me.

I have a theory...when you watch TOS you can't watch it from the perspective of watching a TV show, then you can't possibly enjoy it...but if you watch from the perspective of experiencing part of the Trek saga...its golden

The special effects are so cheesy on TOS sometimes it takes away from the feel of being there, however, I also think it is what gives the series its strength. To be able to overcome such things, and still intice viewers, is the sign of a great series.

Let's be fair and accurate here. It was the late 60s. With what they were smoking ANY effects would have looked good.

I dunno, with LSD (which I don't ever plan to touch with a ten foot pole) I'd understand that but good ol' weed? Naaah, it would just be hilarious. ESPECIALLY anything with Harry Mud who would have to be one of the campest villians ever.

For me this is a really really hard question to answer.

 

I'm new school when it comes to how I think television stories should be told--meaning that I like stories that continue rather than push the reset button at the end of every episode. I like character growth and being able to explore recurring themes and plot elements throughout a series. I say it's new school because it is. Dallas was the first show in primetime tv to do it and Babylon 5 the first scifi show to use the format. Prior to that, the only tv that had continuing story-lines was daytime. Ugh...

 

DS9 fits well into this category and as such was by far the most consistently fun show for me to watch. I like all the minor characters like Leeta and Garak and Rom and especially liked it when they got their own episodes. I also really like the notion that the Federation was a great society but not a perfect one, which was new to the franchise. Crime existed. Money existed. Most importantly, conflict existed. There was no "bad guy" for the sake of being a "bad guy"--every species had shades of gray, including the humans.

 

I'm also a devout fan of Voyager. I watched this show from episode one (which was new to me as I was only 9 when it premiered). It was my "favorite show" through most of my school experience. I love it dearly to this day. It was able to give me some of the aspects that DS9 did but only in broad strokes. The major recurring arc of the series was the journey home but the show did essentially have a "reset button". The best part for me was the idea that the characters were the recurring arc. In the middle of the Delta Quadrant, where do the replacements come from? They don't. The writers boxed themselves into a lovely hole that meant they had to tell the story from a limited perspective. To me, Voyager managed to have the most nuanced and well-developed (not to mention evenly-developed) of all the casts. Even when the stories were clearly recycled from earlier series, the episodes were new because the world was new. And who doesn't love a woman captain?

 

In the end it comes down to this: Dominion or Borg? Klingons or Hirogen? Cardassians or Species 8472? The Delta Quadrant and thereby Voyager offered something that Deep Space Nine (and for that matter The Next Generation and especially Enterprise) couldn't: everything was new.

 

I picked Voyager.
