Poll What’s Your Favorite SNW Season (So Far)?

[Michael]

As the title says, I’m wondering if there’s a consensus on which season of the show so far has been the best. I could be wrong, but from the weekly review threads I got the impression that season three probably didn’t end up being anyone’s favorite. But with season one and two I don’t really have a feel for what most people prefer. I apologize if I missed an already existing thread that asked for the same thing.

For me I think the second season has been the strongest and most consistently good thus far. While season one was overall pretty well done — with “Memento Mori”, “All Those Who Wander” and “A Quality of Mercy” being standout episodes for me — I feel season two is when everything finally clicked and the episodes weren’t just good, but often great. “Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow”, “Under the Cloak of War” and “Hegemony” were all pretty great, whereas “Ad Astra per Aspera”, “Subspace Rhapsody”, and “Those Old Scientists” are even outstanding. Season three wasn’t all bad, of course, and I loved “Shuttle to Kenfori”, “The Sehlat Who Ate Its Tail“ and especially “Terrarium”, but overall it feels like a noticeable dip in quality. So my ranking would be …

Season 2
Season 1
Season 3

What do you think?

I go with season 2 myself, but it's very close! I still prefer the overall feel of the first season, but season 2 was when they had the chance to build on the character arcs from season 1.

I will also say season 2 is the strongest so far.

 

[Firebird]

Put me down for Season 2 as well, though season 1 is almost as strong.

Season 3... yeesh.

 

[Noname Given]

In the enduring tradition of TOS era Trek...OF COURSE Season 3 is the weakest one.

(I voted Season 2 as well)

 

[NCC-73515]

It went like a western title...

I'm gonna give it to season two, but only just. If it weren't for The Elysian Kingdom I would probably give it to season one.

Season 1 was the best.

Episodes 1-4 were awesome, IMHO the show has slowly gone downhill since those 1st 4. Season 2 is 2nd and last place is Season 3.

Seems like two bad episodes every season. Serene Squall and Elysian Kingdom. Old Scientists and Subspace Crhapsody. Wedding Bells, Space Adventure and 4-1/2 Vulcans. Okay Season 3 had 3.

Still the 2nd best Trek series. (TOS)

Hoping Season 4 returns to season 1 quality with better storytelling and some real Sci-Fi and some Strange New Worlds.

some real Sci-Fi

As opposed to fake Sci-fi?
