Enterprise. And I mean it...
Next Generation.
DS9 (started getting good when Sisko got tougher and shaved his head)
I just cannot watch Voyager. It's immensely boring.

>I'm not counting Animated Trek

I am! WOOOO!!!!!

For me:

-Original
-animated
-everything else

The rest all sort of blend together for me. They sacrificed "weird" for "technical skill" and ended up feeling kinda blah. DS9 was okay for the season before the big war, and then I lost interest 'cos the whole Space War thing leaves me cold anymore. Voyager's last couple seasons were ALMOST good, but they'd never take the ideas to a logical and satisfying conclusion. Enterprise would have been better if it wasn't called Trek: it was a decent space opera on it's own (reminded me A LOT of Perry Rhodan) but fought Trek history WAY too much, and I don't think there's a real good reason to appropriate a name if you're not gonna use the continuity.

Star Trek, Enterprise, Voyager, never saw DS9 (though I hear it's great), didn't care for Next Generation, apart from the "Unification" episodes. I don't understand the hate for Enterprise. It seems to me to have the closest feel to the original series. Trip Tucker's one of the best characters in the Star Trek universe, as is Shran.

Original Trek
Star Trek TNG
DS9, (before they did the Dominion thing to DEATH )
Voyager
Enterprise (1st season only)

>It seems to me to have the closest feel to the original series.

Well.... for me there were two problems:

-It did away with the original continuity.... within the first scene, too! (Gotta be some kind of record there.) Not that I think Trek continuity is inviolate; but there's SO MUCH that's only been touched on over the years that I think it's wasteful to reinvent the wheel. 'Specially when you monkey with the fundamentals of the setting. ‘Course that’s a big reason I don’t often care for prequels: you HAVE to tone things down and reinvent the wheel ‘cos we already know how it all turns out.

....I’m not sure if this is good or bad; but Enterprise seemed aware of this, and came up with them time traveling aliens so’s to put some edge on things. So.... Human/Vulcan squabbling is pretty moot, since we all know how it turns out in the future.... but add time traveling aliens and it becomes possible to CHANGE the future.... although you could have set the story in the ACTUAL future and run things almost exactly the same.

All told, I’d rather see a show set in the future/present of the setting, or maybe in one of the established eras (like the original, or DS9 era) but detailing events that happened somewhere that wasn’t central to established chronology.... ie: something NEW! (I would LOVE to see a ship with an Iotian captain. “Awrite youse mugs, we’re beamin’ down, see....?”)

-The show was competently done, but it had all the requisites; almost by checklist. They had the requisite crew, with the requisite foibles, the requisite interpersonal complications, the requisite plots, the requisite non-human.... There wasn’t anything I hadn’t seen before, and it all played out pretty much as expected. ‘Course, this is another problem with a prequel: they set the show in an era that didn’t have all the weird stuff you’d see later on in the time line. Setting it in the future/present of the setting would give them opportunity to use all sorts off odd stuff; weird cultures, weird aliens, weird plots. The Federation, once established is home to all kinds of beings with all sorts of unique perspectives, looks and mannerisms. (Not that the past shows have ever really capitalized on any of that.... but at least the potential is there.)

Seriously! Throw in one of them web handed angry guys to mix things up. Or them blue guys that deal only in certainties. It’d REALLY give the writers something to work with when it came to crew interaction. Or even one of them dudes who speak only in metaphor.

“Captian! The vessel is closing.... should I raise shields?”

“Argroth hides behind the rain and hopes for day.”

“....uh....”

TOS
TAS (Cartoon)
DS9
TNG
VOY was star trek does Lost in Space
ENT was ok but played havoc with trek history that should have been left alone

the trick is i did like all the crews , even though they did the same kind of thing for every show. they picked one alien and mainly concentrated on developing him to the detrimet of the other characters. data, worf , odo, the doctor.

To me, Enterprise didn't even feel like a Star Trek series

It seemed more like a throw-away made for Sci Fi channel series.

One big problem was I didn't like Captain Quantum ... He was ok as Quantum, but I didn't like him as a Star Trek Captain.

Rather than making "Enterprise" I would have rather they did what the rumors they would which was make a series about Sulu and the Excelsior set durning the movies era --- basically a connection between the movies and TNG
