1. TNG
2. VOY
3. DS9 & TOS (tied)
4. ENT

I like them all, though. I have probably more than a hundred and fifty of the novels that were written to accompany the shows. I have not seen any of the newer shows, and from the descriptions, don't want to.

FYI Last night episode of Strange New Worlds is back to saving the Galaxy.

I've been enjoying Strange New Worlds. I really wanted Enterprise to be about the foundations for Starfleet, but was extremely disappointed with the temporal war stuff. The last season of Enterprise was completely out in left field because of the Evil Univere story that took up the season. I loved Seven of Nine, but couldn't stand Captain Blithe....err Janeway. I really liked DS9. Picard has been kinda meh. It was a bit of a shocker how Starfleet became so dark.

I haven't watched too much of Picard--it just doesn't look that interesting, and I hate how they're bringing all of our favorite characters back just to kill them off. I will say this though: I loved the scene were they brought Data back in his new body, and he took back control of the ship they were on, and then, when the old crew saw the Enterprise again and got her space-worthy once more, with the original music playing the background. Reminded me of TNG.

I refuse to PAY for streams with commercials. I will NEVER pay for major network “stream+” feeds. Not ever.

The Trek universe has never been the same (with the exception of Picard S3) since JJ Abrams began its destruction in 2009.

The whole 3rd season of picard was excellent. No woke bs just good entertainment

That's what DH says. Of the new ones, he likes Picard 3 and Strange New Things, thinks Discovery is too woke. He does like to talk about them, so I'm trying to catch up.

In 2016, I bought a WORKING TOS type 2 phaser with a removable WORKING type 1 phaser. (They did sound and light effects, and were programmable as a universal tv remote.) I also bought a WORKING TOS communicator (it was a Bluetooth remote for a cell phone.)

Both these devices were crafted from the master “hero models” of those devices, and are 100% accurate in size and color. And all the knobs and buttons actually perform functions.

Beats a t-shirt any day.

Star Trek memorabilia sale sets records​

Over the weekend, an auction house in Los Angeles set records during a sale of the Star Trek memorabilia. One of the items, a phaser used by William Shatner during the show, sold for $910,000.

Like TOS best and then TNG.

The others just never caught my interest.

TOS did not age well IMO

TOS did not age well IMO

Agree with that. I think for TOS a lot of it for me is nostalgia of that time.

Was a simpler time then, forgetting the VN war and riots as we were kids, and also was influenced by having to try and catch it on the UHF channels hoping that you get an episode you have not seen already but still having a good time seeing an episode you have already seen numerous times. Then making sure the bathroom, or food, breaks were not longer than the commercial.

Of course it could only be watched if no one else was watching the TV at that time, else you had to bargain with them for the watching time.

The single bathroom in the house always had a line in the hallway during commercials, with people yelling, "hurry up!".

And it was all worth it as there was nothing else like it on the boob tube.
