'''''Which television ST series is the best and why?'''''

The Next Generation, I just think it has so many more avenues of adventure that perhaps a Starbase such as DS9 doesn't, Voyager was good for the same reason but my favourite is still TNG. If I had to choose that is...   [[User:dolphin20pl1|Alan Reading]]

I'm not sure I could pick a hands down favorite. DS9, TNG and Voyager all have interesting overall story arcs that are both compelling and interesting. To pick one...I can't do it. -[[Federation Starships|Ken]]

I have the same problem as Ken does. I love 'Voyager' since I adore Kate Mulgrew and had long since wanted to see a female captain in much the same way that I think we need to have a female US President (as long as it isn't Hilary Clinton!). But I also enjoyed TNG so much and I really liked 'Enterprise'. DS9 was a grittier series, but no less compelling than the others. I just can't pick! -[[herbalsheila]]

Although I have loved every series, I have to say Deep Space Nine was by far my favorite. At the time, it was like nothing else we had seen on Star Trek. Right from the beginning they had set Commander Sisko at odds with Picard, which was a bold move. I also thought the Cardassian occupation of Bajor was an interesting back story which led to many great episodes. -[[User:Jfrench|Jason French]]

DS9 is my favourite, partly for the characters, but most of all for the fantastic story arcs they had. TNG is a close second, mind you ;) -[[User:Rivers|Liz Geuken]]

I have two favorites for two different reasons. My ‘bread and butter’ favorite is TNG. It set forth the Star Trek scenario I enjoy playing in, but sometimes I find watching it a little dry… more like research than entertainment. For pure entertainment, my hands-down favorite is (*gasp*) Enterprise. Might not be particularly consistent as far a Star Trek ‘cannon’ goes, but the characters were believable, and it was consistently fun. I don’t really care about Star Trek Canon anyway… a story is a story, a writer’s game, and the writer makes, bends or breaks the rules. As long as I like the way they do it, I’m satisfied. I liked the Star Trek world the writers and the actors on Enterprise showed me, regardless of canon breaches and plot holes big enough to fly a flagship through at full impulse… because it was FUN! -[[GrannyGM]]
