I liked Enterprise; it wasn't my favorite show, and it did certainly have flaws, but I liked it more in several ways than Voyager. I've always enjoyed watching Voyager if I'm in the mood for a Star Trek fix, because it plays like five times a day on various channels, but I never did like the characters that much, with the exception of the Doctor. (Ironic how the only artificial character seemed more natural than the rest of them...) Also, I love the Borg, but I think Voyager really, REALLY overused them at points; the first episode where they hint the Borg might become involved in the series, I actually felt a shiver run down my spine. But after three seasons, whenever the Borg popped up I reacted more with a 'meh, cyber people again.'

My favorite show is probably The Next Generation because it was basically a Star Trek rebirth; it was the show where you really felt that it wasn't just a ship, but a community, and there was almost a sense of family.

I also liked TOS, partly because some of their special effects bordered on hilarious (flying fake vomit back-clingers, anyone?) and the interactions between McCoy, Spock and Kirk were priceless.

I don't get any DS9 on my channels, so I can't pass judgment either way. >_>

Well, hmmmm....

I grew up on TNG and watched TOS over and over too. DS9 was excellent, and I think probably the most realistic depiction of the Trek universe (grey vs. B/W). TNG did some grey world work too though. I can't really stand most of Voyager, torch bearer of Deus Ex Trekkie Machina. Enterprise was decent, but yeah some of it is very weak. It has its redeeming qualities though.

Overall, I kinda go by the feel of the show and how much I liked the actors/characters. I think DS9 and TNG had by far the best cast. No contest, really. I'm having a really tough time deciding which I would think best though. I'd vote for both TNG and DS9 if I could. Each has flaws so it's hard to go with one over the other.

I suppose though that I'd have to go with TNG. That show is like an integral part of me. Smiley

Welcome to the Flip Flops Forums swaaye!  cool

You express a very balanced view which I happen to agree with. I think TNG and DS9 both have a different flavour so it's hard to make comparisons. A strong point of TNG is that each episode is more or less self-contained so it's easier to keep track of. But DS9 has very interesting strategy and politics IMHO.
