The Best And The Worse Star Trek TV Series

[Myasishchev]

I would argue that Deep Space Nine did more seeking out new worlds and new civilizations than any of the other Star Trek shows. While it didn't give us the foreheads of the week, it gave us in depth looks into the Bajorans, the Cardassians, the Dominion and The Klingons. They turned these races into cultures, which to me, was the best part of DS9.

A very salient point. That's what I've never understood about the "REMEMBER WHEN WE USED TO BE EXPLORERS?" school of what Star Trek should be. I don't remember them really exploring much at all, just charting and cataloguing.

1. DS9
2. TNG
3. TOS < -- that's not to say that TOS is average by any means. It's still great TV, but I think TNG just captured the idea a touch better
4. VOY < -- agreed with the wasted potential
5. ENT < -- the thing is, if the 3rd and 4th seasons were any indication, the potential 5th season might have catapulted the show past VOY for me.

For me its :

1 - TOS/DS9

2 - TNG

<HUGE GAP of GREATNESS>

3 - VOY (So much wasted potentional, actually could've and should've been one of Trek's best series)

4 - ENT (A bad beginning with some shiny moments in the 3rd anf 4th season, who knows a 5th season MIGHT have made it tolerable but given the writing of its series finale..I doubt it)

DS9

Yes, for both. It could be the best of Trek, and the most exasperating.
