This is the worst of the 5 Trek TV series

I was so excited for this series and felt completely let down by it. The theme song is so bad I don't know how or why the felt it was good to use it for the show. The war with the Xindi was the best part of the series. I don't hate this show as much as I did during it's original run but it's still my least favorite of the 5 series. T'Pol was the best thing about this show, super hot, super sexy. Made me want to be a Vulcan and lay some pipe Vulcan style.

Voyager is the worst in my opinion. Solid premise thrown away within the pilot episode. Then it was just plain bland.
At least Enterprise allows conflict between regular characters.
That said, different fans like different things from Trek.

I disagree, Voyager is my favorite followed by a tie with DS9 & TNG. The original series is great just old, I grew up on it but if I want to watch something it's always Voyager. The whole premise was great, lost in the Delta quadrant which allowed for so many original stories. It had a few dumb episodes but so did all the other series. I'm on my umpteenth time watching Voyager from beginning to end again right now, on season 3. Love it. There was plenty of conflict between regular characters on Voyager, maybe you need to watch it again to refresh your memory?

You are right about the theme song. Excruciatingly bad.

Voyager was absolutely the worst of the bunch. Never liked Captain Janeway.

I feel ya, she was hard to get used to at first but she grew on me. Voyager is my absolute favorite.

You are wrong. DS9 was by far the worst..

[–] MarcusBritish 7 years ago

There is no wrong or right, all tastes are subjective.

For me, DS9 started badly but ended the best – DS9 is a show with two different halves... the first half being a bunch of very average "monster of the week" episodes, mostly restricted to DS9, the second half being the Dominion war, which opened the doors to some of the best story arcs in the Star Trek franchise, set all over the place and expanding the Star Trek universe greatly. Being able to see the Federation, Klingons, Romulans, Cardassians, Bajorans, Ferengi, Jem Hadar, Changelings, et al. develop from week-to-week, rather than one-off episodes was far more rewarding than a lot of TNG's habit of starting nearly every episode "reset" from the last episode's events. Not that I expect everyone to appreciate the "space soap opera" format which DS9 followed in its latter seasons, but I think it had its strengths and really enjoyed the continuity from episode to episode which TOS and TNG lacked, and Voyager sometimes attempted, but it was quite muddled. For me, Voyager is the most "feminine" series, a lot more leading female characters, some feminist attitudes are evident, "softer" responses to alien threats, though I don't mean that in a negative way... it's just offers a different atmosphere than TOS, TNG or DS9 expressed with their casts and never reached its potential because it always had to keep moving.

you are right...The dominion story arc was the best in all of Trek. And the best suporting charcter Garik.

The worst in my order

DS9
TOS
Picard
Enterprise
Discovery
Voyager
TNG is best

[–] [deleted] 3 years ago

Discovery is the worst. And you forgot TOS. But apart from that, you're right.

[–] eastangliauk (362) 3 years ago

yes sorry I am only about 15 episodes in right now on TOS but its OK. now listed they went back to the first planet where them mind control people were and was a 2 parter.

It failed it needed a imagination capturing premise with well defined characters or a look that isn't all TNG inspired or new blood to the franchise it has none.

If it was made in the late 2000's not 2001 where people were fed up of the TNG style I think things could've been different.

The theme song is so bad I don't know how or why the felt it was good to use it for the show. The war with the Xindi was the best part of the series.

I feel the exact opposite. I loved the theme song and really set the stage for what would be the only "first" Star Trek. The orchestral blandishments that would serve the rest of the Trek series wouldn't fit this properly IMO.

I also feel that story arcs doom any series. A two-parter should be the absolute limit. I watched Enterprise during the first run but abandoned it during the Xindi arc. I can't always be there when the show is first run, and if I miss an episode then I won't watch the rest of the arc as a lot of things won't make sense.

Seasons 1 and 2 were dull as dishwater. Season 3 picked up. Season 4 was fun, but was built too much upon obscure Trek references that only die-hard fans would understand.

It suffered from a terminal lack of originality.
