Which is the best ever Star-Trek series

[jeremiah]

My vote is for Deep Space nine which is by far the best Star Trek series. Although this is no doubt due to Paramount executives ripping off JMS' Babylon 5 When they had the "Babylon 5 bible" for six months during the late Eighties. I think I like it because it's the least Star Trek like series being darker, having more story continuation and three-dimensional characters.

Having recently watched a lot of the original series on sci-fi UK it had some very good stories and interesting ideas even though its highly dated. Definitely would have been a terrific show in its day.

Enterprise and Voyager are both extremely weak and both deserved cancellation long before fans of the series consider they got good. Personally I liked the new direction of the third series of Enterprise. However I felt all the good work done was then thrown away with a completely naff time-travel story at the end of the season. Which then led into the "Trekkies" dream season 4 which was awful imho. After years of deliberately trying to distance themselves from Star Trek they rebrand the show Star Trek: Enterprise in a last ditch attempt to draw in the old guard they didn't want at the beginning.

I liked the next generation at the time however the show has dated very badly. I should give this another re run when its next on Sky.

For UK fans of Star Trek, word is that Virgin 1 which launches later in the year has picked up most of the Star Trek series, so we get to see them again

Afraid I can't vote as each one of them has their own merits.
Personally, I prefer "Next Generation" but trying to compare it to the others is just impossible. Every series has its memorable moments and the films are just fantastic.

If I must vote for something, it has to be Gene Roddenberry for his fantastic and innovative imagination.:-worship

There's a thank you note in one of the Star Trek books (I think the encyclopedia) which goes along the lines of:

"With thanks to Gene Roddenberry, for creating a universe and allowing us all to play in it"

I couldn't have put it better myself...

Lets not forget Next generation guys. Patrick Stewart was pretty dam good in that.

Made the whole series.

P.s Star Trek 2 "The wraith of khan" was sure up there!!!

Without doubt the first one - KIRK. Sorry for the pun but it's timeless.

I found the other series unwatchable.

Oh sorry I didn't realise Star Trek was set in a builder's yard :-googly and no mention of time reversal was ever involved. My apologies. :-santa3

I still don't get what you mean, have you stopped taking your meds?

I thought you were joking. APPARENTLY NOT.

Star Trek is set in the future (time reference); it also dealt with many stories involving time reversal eg, one in particular when Kirk and Co visited earth in the 1920s - a famous episode with Joan Collins. AGAIN, time travel.

So taking that on board, when I said the show was timeless, that was a PUN, because the show does deal with time. It's not as if I was talking about Coronation Street and said that was timeless. Geddit???

A minor pun but a pun all the same. Hope that clears it up. ;)

Oh, you meant the endless time-travel (not reversal), I just thought you were confused...
