DS9 is my favourite due to the large number of interesting characters.

Prefer the movies more than the series though. Too bad no ivies available for the other versions.

My favourite Captain is Picard..least favourite is Sisko (DS9) followed by Janeway (Scorpio Pt 1 & 2 explains why I dislike Janeway).

Best Star Ship....Voyager.

We are way overdue for a new Sci-Fi TV series to give us relief from the endless Talent (less) and Reality (Not) shows

OS. Definately.
Fists and phasers.
Only occasionally ameliorated by Vulcan logic.
I don't remember Kirk ever needing a therapist, as in STNG.

Their mission was seemingly to counsell where no-one had needed counselling before. I've been watching it on and off over the last few weeks and in not one episode, has anyone (even a dis-embodied alien) escaped the ministrations of Clr Troy!
That and the truly appalling acting - speak, wait, speak, notch eyebrow, wait, etc.
Funny how we change as I really liked NG when it was first broadcast.
,
I might have clicked more with Enterprise, but could never get past the theme tune.

Voyager? Would you want to spend all that time cooped-up with a fussy old school-marm and an irritating space-hamster?

DS9- "They're on-going mission, to sit in one place like no has sat in one place and listened to overblown Shakespearean out-pourings of their Captain before" :D

Mind you, I'll watch any of them in preference to 'Big X-Factor' or whatever.

Would be nice if the poll included your age group.
I’m sure TOS would achieve more votes if younger people gave it a chance then they would realise that the stories are profound and not just based on special effects.

I think Enterprise would have been more popular if they'd had a good actor in the pivotal Captain's role. I preferred Sisko's over-acting to Archer's lack of ability. The alternate universe, bad guy Archer is about the worst acting I can remember from any prominent Star Trek character.

I agree, Enterprise showed great promise and was short changed.


BTW, The Season 2 of STNG remastered Blu-Ray version will be out soon ;)

Amen.

I like STNG, TOS and Voyager roughly in that order - they're some of the few programs I do/would make time to watch. I like different things about each ... and each has its faults.

Warp drive, phasers, Klingons ... and Tribbles! How can you beat that? :)

I'm working my way through NG atm. :)
For the OS, I can highly recommend getting hold of the Nitpickers Guide. It's a great book to have at hand while watching. Good fun.
I think I might buy the Nitpickers guide for NG too.

I've not watched any of the other series.

Huge Trek fan.
This may sound like a cop-out, but I love all of them equally.
Each has its strengths and each it's weaknesses, but personally don't prefer any one over another.

I like all the series too. TOS movies were excellent. TNG movies... I hate them for killing Data. :mad2:

And that very last Star Trek movie where they totally rewrote Star Trek history... we'll just pretend that didn't happen!

I'd like them to make a new series, only if it isn't dark (like that SGU failure) and in the same context to build on the series that went before them.

Lately though the stuff that is coming out of the US isn't that inspiring and they are all too willing to swing the axe on promising new series if it doesn't make a bazzilion dollars profit every episode, even if it already has a fan base.

And Sleep Space 9 is just as bad.

As the Captain would say there is nothing worse than a Klingon !!

Dear Lord. I blanked that last one completely!
Clearly my brain could not cope with the trauma.
Perhaps I do need counsellor Troy! ;)

They could have easily done a couple more seasons, developing the relationship with the Xindi, entering war with the Klingons, etc.

Oh, I KNOW I need a counsellor Troy......I would walk over a bed of nails! :lol:

Didn't much like DS9, but loved all other iterations of Star Trek.

Exactly. There is no out-spocking Spock.

Fan of them all but there is a special place in my heart for The Original Star Trek...

Yep the original series for me. Life wouldn't quite be the same without Tribbles.

And frankly I am given great comfort knowing that this scene exists.....

If you're waiting for them to make a "Keeping Up with the Cardassians" before jumping into the franchise, I think you'll be waiting a long time. :P

I'd have to say that I've enjoyed them all.

Looking at the number of votes compared to IIS membership, it's obvious there aren't many normal people on this site :) .

Hard to pick a favorite!
Love them all.
If I had to choose....TOS followed by Enterprise, Voyager and NxtGen.

STNG
Then OS absolutely. Thinking about classic lines that have been integrated into our language.. "Beam me Up Scotty":ship2: :thumbsup: And " Captn' the engines can't take much more. Classic :thumbsup:

Mmmm, all of them I have to say, it's been a progression. OS begat NG, NG begat .... Obviously some episiodes were better than others and there was a lot of waffling in places.
I also have to disagree with a few of you and say I did like the new Movie with it's new start. For me I guess it updates the series and opens it up to new stories and new captains, crew etc.
Hopefully ... :rolleyes:

And it still beats any reality\cooking\Idol\blah blah rubbish that currently I turn off...:shrug:

I saw the new movie and it just isn't the same anymore. After the reboot Star Trek has gone so mainstream and I miss the elements that Star Trek used to have.

I am looking forward to the next movie but for me it isn't Star Trek anymore which is sad :(

Suprised no one has mention it yet, why wasn't the animated series not included the options?

The next poll should be how many times have you watched all the series and movies in sequence.
(And how long did it take you to do it)

Started re-watching Enterprise for the 3rd time a few nights ago. Up to episode 9 of season 1, such a good series!!
