I know it's an overused question in a lot of places, but it hasn't been asked here in quite a while. I'm curious to see what the preferred Star Trek shows are in the group here. Whether you want to just list your favorite show, do a complete ranking of all the shows, or something in between, I'm interested to know!

This is my current top five show list:

  • Deep Space Nine
  • Star Trek
  • Strange New Worlds
  • The Next Generation
  • Lower Decks

It gets difficult for me to rank past that point, so I usually stop there.

TNG, Voyager and DS9 get a tie for first. Haven't really seen any of the nu-Trek except for some Discovery and Lower Decks. Something about them just didn't jive for me. Picard was Picard getting bullied. TOS can be fun, but not enough for me to sit and intentionally watch it. I should watch TAS though. It looks bad in a good way.

Edit: I take that back, Orville gets #1, TNG, Voyager and DS9 tie for #2.

I need to watch some Orville sometime, I've heard it's pretty good. The 90's era Treks are always a solid choice. Did you try any of Strange New Worlds? It's got a completely different vibe than the other new shows, and I like the crew.

I haven't, I've heard good things, I just haven't gotten around to watching it yet!

Edit: also, when it comes to the Orville, keep in mind that it starts out as a parody and gets more serious overtime. However, the Orville has 100% more female country music star cameos than star trek. That makes it better.

I know that feeling well!

I did hear that it transitioned to more of a drama part way through, so I'll keep that it mind when I get to watching it. Yes, hearing that Dolly was on a science fiction show was not on the list of things I expected to happen! I was raised around country but as I got older I began to prefer jazz, so I have to balance 90's Trek's love of jazz against that now.

I want to have a place where fans can come to praise, discuss, and even criticise things in the Star Trek franchise. No show or movie is perfect, and I don't believe people should be silenced for having a dissenting opinion. That being said, there are still a few rules.

Be Nice - No personal attacks. You can disagree with someone's opinion, but it needs to stop there.

No Slurs - This is applicable to ethnicity, religion, gender, or anything else.

No Adult Content - Keep it family friendly.

No Spamming or Trolling - Consistently spamming comments or trolling is just not needed.

Please keep topics Trek related or Trek adjacent for the most part, and have fun!
