Are you surprised at the IMDB ratings for all Trek Series ? (TNG 1st, DIS last)

I'd like to see where PIC would drop to if we could pluck all the season 3 votes out. Not to prove anything, just out of curiosity.

These are the overall rating, not the episode average. iirc Picard started out over 8 but dropped quickly to the lower 7s, eventually stabilizing after season 3.

As for credibility, yeah, IMDB has problems and is getting worse, but it’s still the best place to find audience consensus on movies and TV imo. Definitely better than the RT audience score and score and (especially) the MetaCritic audience score.

DS9’s rating has always been oddly low. I can see it being behind the first two, but almost a whole point behind TNG seems harsh.

If anything, I think the surprising thing for me is that it's all rated as high as it is. None of those really seem like bad scores to me. I've always said that even "bad" Star Trek is better than the majority of the programming out there, and this kind of reinforces that belief for me.

I think that, to this day, TOS and TNG are Star Trek to the general public. Everything else is spinoffs of varying notoriety and popularity, but TOS and TNG are the actual Star Trek.

Pretty much how I feel as well

Janeway does do a bunch of dumb stuff on Voyager though, as do many characters because it's not a very well written show. But Janeway got the brunt of it because she was the captain and making most of the decisions. But I could see people today trying to spin it as some kind of "Mary Sue" thing like with Rey from Star Wars which was again more a case of bad writing than anything else. All the characters were underdeveloped in those movies.

I'm in the process of talking about VOY at length in my Re-Watch Thread as I go through the entire series in that forum. Most of it I'm talking about for the first time on TrekBBS. I'm currently about a third of the way through the second season.
