Which Star Trek series do you enjoy?

[Mart68]

The only ones I liked were the original and Enterprise. I could not stand TNG because of that irritating Wesley character. Haven't bothered watching any of them since that.

He was initially irritating but once he got a uniform and was part of the crew he wasn't so bad.

Troi was the worst character, the episodes which revolve around her are terrible.

'I sense he's hiding something, Captain.' Well duh. How much are we paying you for that? Oh that's right we don't use money anymore.

My favourite character in Season 1 is that redhead in the mini skirt who's in the back of almost every shipboard scene. What was her story?

As it stands after 53 voters, it seems like New Trek isn’t as unpopular with the ASR-type crowd as I thought.

Thank you all for voting!

The Ferengi on DS9 was pure feces and shattered any and all attempts at drama.

Oh brother, How I hated the Ferengi ! More than a few minutes of them on any episodes would spoil it for me
They are what killed watching DS9, Quark was in every one and dominated many.
I felt mostly the same way about Janeway and Voyager, never could get into watching it until 7 of 9 came on.

Wesly ---, I just wanted to smash the stupid grin of his face.

Yeah but im sure you'd be keen to marry seven of nine in a ferengi wedding ceremony.. they had some good ideas !

Neelix from voyager has to be the worst , plus , as we say in blighty , a bit of a wrongun. .

I really liked Enterprise, good cast , great captain imo , Was sad when it got dumped .

Only started voyager recently, a good few terrible episodes but really liked it in the main.

TNG , thats ' my trek ' its what I grew up watching , Its my favourite..,

DS9 , enjoyed that , avidly watching it on bbc 2 when first broadcast until its end .

i really like strange new worlds , watched Discovery but its the worst for me , the characters are woeful, they all irritated me seeming kinda pathetic imo , the inevitable evolution of the ' no winners allowed ' on school sports day policy , combined with a bunch of other soft nonsense lol

Wrath of kahn is my favourite movie , then First contact.

Generally greatful theres still some good Trek , trekking on ..

Come on! Quark is awesome! Del Boy of Star Trek

Neelix, Kes, Troi, Harry Kim, and Jake Sisko are really bad...I’m sure there are more I’m forgetting right now.

I just might roll with that !
We're really in ST tune, TNG is my fav with Enterprise running number two.
I put DS9 at number three but ugg, those damn Ferengi

Original was OK in 1966, but to watch the episodes today it's all just so dated. The best of OG were the movies where a lot more film technology came into play via Paramount Pictures. The seven movies that included the original cast were great!
Khan, "To the last, I will grapple with thee... from Hell's heart, I stab at thee! For hate's sake, I spit my last breath at thee!" LOL

The Doctor was my favourite character from Voyager Egotistical, awkward, terrible bedside manner, ill-tempered, wrote a bestselling novel stabbing his crewmates in the back ... all these traits would normally be the death of a character but Robert Picardo pulled it off. He was hilarious!

And now the characters I didn't like the most (from all of ST):

Lwaxana Troi. She was insufferable. Stole every scene and not in a good way. I blame the actress for this one.

Neelix has already been nominated. I don't blame the actor as much as I blame the writers and the costume designers. Ethan Phillips was at times genuinely funny, but the whole thing about his relationship with an underaged girl and his creepy appearance did not go down well.

Barclay. Just horrible. I was surprised that he was played by Dwight Schultz (from the A-Team) because his performances felt totally off.

Wasn't Kes said to be from a race who's lifespan was only 9 years. That really doesn't make the relationship inappropriate.
Would you consider mating your dog until it passed age 18 or more inappropriate.
She was a beautiful women and I enjoyed her time on Voyager until she was replace by 7 of 9, good tradeoff

 

[Mart68]

agree 'Wrath Of Khan' is the best film - apart from that 'hours will seem like days' bit that's so obvious super-intelligent Khan doesn't pick up on it.

Doctor was my second favourite 'Voyager' character after the obvious one. Data in TNG - what a great performance there, he even works in Stan Laurel on occasion.

Scotty in TOS.

In TOS all the regular characters are likeable, not the case in any of the other series.

I have to disagree on this one, his performance in "The Nth Degree" was in my opinion extraordinary to say the least, one of my favorite episodes in the whole franchise.

Agreed his acting performance was good,
But his character was very hard to like for me.

Lwaxana Troi. She was insufferable. Stole every scene and not in a good way. I blame the actress for this one.

She played Pike’s Number One in the TOS pilot episode, "The Cage", and later became Nurse Chapel. Beyond that, she also played Lwaxana Troi in TNG and DS9, and was the voice of the computer across multiple Star Trek series. Her name is Majel Barrett-Roddenberry… just for context.

She isn't a bad actress, but the way she portrayed Lwaxana was definitely a choice.

 

[Multicore]

And TNG surges into the lead leaving TOS in second as we come around turn 3.

I rather think this poll is a pretty good proxy for age.

I have to agree with you there Brian, I was very glad when he left the series.

Wow, I learned something new about ST trivia today.
Thanks !

Top show. Badly needs a remake, reboot or film franchise. But people have been trying for 40 years and it's not happened yet.

I enjoyed that as a kid. I re-watched a couple of episodes as an adult, and boy is it hammy. Also, why does anything planet-side look like a disused quarry?
