.

Do you mean Kes??? other than that I can think of no-one who had "serious headpains" and even then it was only for a few episodes while they brought her character to a close.

Im sorry what was your favourite, I cant understand what you said.

As well as what?? I think TNG is the only series Whoopi is in, unless she pops up for a guest appearance in DS9, though I dont think so.

I would have to vote for Voyager.

I think for really the first time in ST history they fully empowered a woman. Kate Mulgrew is wonderful in the role as Janeway and with so many other fantastic characters by the forth season in really had grown into an awesome show with some fantastic Alien Species.

DS9 I think is extremely under-rated, I believe that show to be awesome also with Benjamin Sisko(Avery Brooks) being a very talented actor and as we found out a wonderfull singer too. DS9 really took off when Worf joined it and his tragic love affair with Dax was enough to reduce me to tears. Vic Fontain is probably the best holodeck Character ever.

I love all of the Star Trek series and think that they have all deserved a place in this wonderful galaxy. I hope we have not seen the back of this Universe with the premature demise of Enterprise.

picard and data from TNG

this was easily the best of the series.

and it spawned some pretty cool films

Alysheba · 24th June 2005, 09:28 PM

TNG by far the best. I miss it a great deal.

ThulsaDoom · 4th August 2005, 11:20 AM

Definitely the original series. Classic characters and stories, that made up for the lack of budget, and how it's dated. (In fact, a lot of the production design makes it look very individual and different!)
TNG - some very good actors,(Patrick Stewart is now the chancellor of my old uni!

) for the most part wasted on repetitive and poor stories, except for the rare exception (usually a plot nicked from the original series)
DS9 - Yawn! Also, none of the characters were particularly interesting to make you care. They also nicked the basic plot from B5 (I know DS9 came out before, but B5 was pitched to paramount a year or two before DS9 came out, and even had a shape shifting security chief in its original draft... hmmm...)
Voyager - hit and miss. Mostly miss. Shame, as it had more potential and better characters (For the most part) than DS9.
Enterprise. - killed itself by a very poor first season, a better but still mostly mediocre 2nd season. By the 3rd, it got much better, but by then it was too late. Definitely had the potential to be the best series after the orginal though.

I much prefare The Next Generation!
It seems most people on here do, glad I am not alone

the_dungeoneer · 16th August 2005, 03:39 PM

The original does it for me, but i do love TNG and VOY, DS9 was always too much on the ship soap opera for me - sometimes it could be really good but i love the adventure part of ST. i just dont like enterprise - im new to this forum so apologies if this has been asked or discussed but how is enterprise recieved here - i dont think it's star trek at all and the characters and story seem to contradict TOS. i just dont enjoy it and i think t'pal (sorry of spelt wrong) is just the worst vulcan ever, and they are my fave species - it just seems to be about the way she looks and her pout - which i think is a shame b/c vulcans are such interesting characters. i think. what does everyone else think?

oh also how do i get an avatar? thanks.

click on your control panel, then the sidebar 'avatar' there is a wide selection, including some trek, on the forum, although it is also possible to import your own, such as mine, for a more personalised look.

the_dungeoneer · 17th August 2005, 04:27 PM

Thank you.

Princess Ivy · 17th August 2005, 05:35 PM

for that avatar babe, i'm glad to have helped!

Trey Greyjoy · 17th August 2005, 06:53 PM

Just to chime in with what would appear to be the unpopular opinion...

Big fan of the original series. Still get a kick out of watching them. As a child it fueled my imagination and an interest in science and science fiction.

I started out liking the next generation, but ended up feeling let down. I felt it was all over the place with no real direction or cohesive arc (even tough one was shoved in sideways at the end). And Wesley Crusher... bleah

DS9: liked the idea, disliked the execution. Loved most of the cast, turned the tv off whenever odo and the space monkey showed up.

Voyager: Very strange. Some episodes were outstanding sci-fi, some...err...not so much. The ending was a HUGE let down.

Enterprise... and here it is....I really really liked this show. Particularly the last season. There were aspects of it I would have changed and had it run longer I probably would have criticized it more (how old was the chief engineer? 22? Cmon! ) but...never missed an ep.
Im a bit confused as to why others are declaring this is not Star Trek... has this been a topic on the internet discussed at length? Maybe I missed it. I felt it touched more on the original series than any of the other. JMHO though. Everyone has a personal preference !

Princess Ivy · 18th August 2005, 01:18 AM

don't worry babe, i'll forgive you. eventually.
and although this has been discussed ad nusium on various sites (some of which i participated in) i came to the conclusion that i didn't like enterprise after watching it

edott · 22nd December 2005, 06:46 PM

Over all i liked deepspace nine the best but the last season of enterprise had some great episodes, the mirror unverse ones were great and how they explain the difference in how TOS klingons looked from the ones after and the best ending any of the different star trek universe shows had.

SukiTrek · 26th December 2005, 04:01 PM

I had to choose the original series. I have the most fun watching the original Trek than any other lol

SWrain · 2nd February 2006, 02:25 PM

I like Voyager to be honest, there's something unique about it. Maybe its because they found themselves stranded in unknown space so far from the alpha quadrant. I've got most of the episodes from Voyager and I've watched them from the beginning ("The Caretaker") until the last one ("End Game"). I noticed that Voyager is mystical and innocent in the first half of the show until the end of season 3. This is when Kes departed from the ship and Seven of Nine appeared. Then from season 4 the show became darker as things got even tougher for everyone, they met more sinister aliens, loads of Borg and nearly getting the ship destroyed so often.
Voyager's grown on me. Even though I also like Enterprise episodes, some of the characters on Enterprise don't appeal to me. I don't really like Data or the councillor woman with psychic powers. I also can't stand Whoopie Goldberg whose an annoying bar lady. Having a teenager as a pilot was a silly idea.
I liked watching the original Startrek series with Cpt Kirk but a few of them are ridiculous and funny. Look at those really tiny mini skirts!
As for Enterprise that's a real big disappointment.
