Contest: VOTE Which Series is your favourite?

It's my impression that most people vote for their favorites either way.

I like Discovery, DS9 and Voyager for different reasons. DS9 for being dark and for making me think, Voyager for being light and pleasant and Discovery for being new thinking. It’s hard to pick just one but I guess that DS9 would be my pick if I had to pick one anyway. My least favourite is Enterprise.
TAS.
What? I need to vary this up a bit.

My vote will not be unknown I'll bet! TOS all the way! It's the only Trek which doesn't suffer from the 'Nothing much happens here this week' syndrome which seems to affect all television shows for the last thirty years! I usually like my Treks in the order they were produced as such!
1.TOS & TAS (Although TAS isn't live action and could be considered as a follow on of TOS anyway)
2.TNG
3.DS9 & VOY (Although I haven't seen that much of DS9 I liked what I did see and VOY was good too)

I voted for both TNG and DS9. DS9 was the best show, had the best acting, most compelling stories; however, TNG holds a special place in my heart.
Voyager was alright, Enterprise a little less so. TOS was...not good, though I am glad I watched since it all started there. Have not seen DISC.

I voted for all of them except Discovery. I'm boycotting voting for it until I get my beloved DS9 and VOY Blu-rays!
TNG is my absolute favourite, partly because it was my introduction to Trek, partly because I love the crew-as-family, conflict-comes-from-outside dynamic, very closely followed by TOS and TAS. DS9 I enjoyed to a point, I lost interest in VOY pretty quickly, and ENT and DSC have never interested me enough to watch.
I lost interest in VOY from Season 4. The beginning of ENT was a struggle. I watched one episode of STD and was so utterly dismayed by everything about that I can't bring myself to waste any time on it.
I like this...a lot!
Thanks.
I don't remember the season of VOY I lost interest, but I do vaguely recall the episode - friendly aliens are helping maintain the vessel, and Harry Kim is having an affair with one. To me it was so painfully generic and by-the-numbers and just plain boring all my goodwill for the show drained out before the end.
I dropped out of DS9 around the time they crowbarred Worf in - sacreligious as it might be, I always found him one-dimensional and even a little irritating, and here he felt awkwardly superimposed. The simplistic approach to Klingons in that era likely didn't help, mind. ENT felt even more low-effort than VOY and that theme song was painful; I don't think I even finished an episode. DSC worried me from the get-go, and when I realised it was going the dark and violent route - because what else do people want in their TV right now? - I passed on it. Nothing I've heard since has made me regret that decision.
I've never been a fan of Worf either (so don't worry you're not alone there). In DS9 he did improve, but still a very 'meh' character. Luckily the series did develop Martok, probably the only full-blooded Klingon I actually like.

I think there are very good episodes of all the post TNG shows. I know it can get frustrating wading through episodes that you don't like, but there are some hidden gems there that I think any Trek fan would like.
On Worf: I loved him on TNG, but I hated some of his episodes on DS9. I do still love DS9; I just think they fumbled his character a couple of times.

As far as TV........DS9 is my tops for season 4-7. Which is funny because I refused to watch it during its run. I only finally watched it in the years after Enterprise went off the air and we had no new Trek. I was one of those dicks that refused to watch (like we have now with DSC) because a space station set show was "stupid". Nope, I WAS.
