Personally, I would have to choose DS9. At the beginning, Ben Sisco was a bit of a pansy, but after he shaved his head and grew his beard out, he became one mean motherf#@&er!

And the Defiant was really cool . . .

My favorite is TNG, but it's a hard choice-I love them all (except for Enterprise-I haven't really watched it so I just don't know).

Enterprise is getting surprisingly good. It started out kinda slow, but all of the serieses (seriesi?) did. They just started a new season, with some really nasty bad guys and a bunch of marines onboard. Kinda cool, and as an added bonus, the Vulcan chick is really hot! 8)

But they seem to be rewriting Star Trek history a little. Some things have happened that are just a little to monumental to not have been mentioned in any other series (they encountered the Borg ???)

My favourite is TNG, but I like them all.

I actually think Enterprise is pretty good. Their ship isn't so powerful that they know they'll win every fight, so I think that makes it a little more interesting. Plus it has the feeling that it has as much in common with NASA or the Air Force as it does with the Federation.

The explanation I've heard about the rewriting of history is that when the TNG crew went back in time in "First Contact" they altered the timeline slightly (or maybe not so slightly).

I, unlike a lot of Star Trek fans, like the opening sequence and song... I like how it tells the story of exploration from sea ships to airplanes and then to space travel. They changed the song a bit this season though... they added a cheesy rock beat that sounds like one of those cheap electric keyboards they sell at Radio Shack. I think Scott Bakula might see that as a bad sign... they changed the theme song for Quantum Leap and not long after that it was cancelled.

And you can tell they're a little worried about the ratings because they've changed a lot of other things too... T'Pols uniform looks more like the one 7of9 wore... and in one scene in the season premiere they show her topless (sort of).

I have one question about the "space marines" that have joined the crew... why do their uniforms look like a bird crapped all over them? I guess it's supposed to be some kind of camoflauge, but it looks strange. Grin

can we please not spoil enterprise to much for those of us who dont get the new series for a while:)
it takes enough of an effort to watch that show as it is, and while it may be good, i can pick out to many plot holes, to many re-writes of history and to many poorly written scripts, to make it remain as good and nothing more. i do agree the opening credits are pretty good though.
my fav is Next gen, from series 2 onwards, like all the star treks, the actors are still really uptight and dont gel well for the first series, but once they really start to work well together it puts next gen in a league of its own.

its cool:) more said in fun than anything else. i will say enterprise has been getting better with each series, but they seem to rush some of their storylines, the ferengi really shouldnt have been brought in, as they had not been involved with humans before the enterprise chased them to get that thing back and they both were caught by a planet.

I think Voyager is my favorite show (nothing to do with Jeri Ryan, honest!) but DS9 had some of the best story lines with the Dominion stuff and the best Trek Starship ever in the Defiant. DS9 was let down a bit with all that Bjoran political and spiritual stuff. When DS9 was good, it was awesome but when it was bad, it was BAD!
Having said all that, my all time favorite episodes are "Yesterdays Enterprise" and "The Best of Both Worlds" from TNG.
I enjoy Enterprise, but I'm not too keen on all the re-writing of Trek history stuff they do, and I have to admit I hate the song.

There is only one......

STAR TREK

...........all the rest are only spin-offs...........

My fav line was from the end of Star Trek VI

"Chekov: "Course heading Captain?"
Kirk: "Second star to the right--and straight on 'til morning."

Right out of Peter Pan.............. 8).........that was cool !

Yes, Rifleman. That is one of the greatest Trek lines ever.

One of my other faves is Zephram Cochrane in First Contact:

" . . . And you guys are all astronauts? On some kinda . . . star trek?"

I think we should lock this subject before it gets too contrversial! Grin

Seriously though, TNG is without a doubt the best series. With episodes like 'The Inner Light', 'Family', and 'Best of Both Worlds' there is no doubt. I am even ready to forgive them for season six (it sucked!).

The best Pilot however, has to go to DS9. I think that if 'Emissary' were not connected to Star Trek, it would be up there with the best of Sci-Fi...
