Just a heads-up: the first episode of SNW season 3 becomes fair game October 17.

    You give us your ranking from best to worst show, in your personal opinion. Then we all get to argue about it and have fun.

      I’ll make a post of it after some thought. Gotta tease the crowd before stirring them up into a fervor.

      Not op, but this is definitive, so we can get into an argument when your list is slightly different

      Ds9

      LD

      TOS

      TNG

      VOY

      SNW

      ENT

      TAS

      Prodigy

      Discovery/Picard

        I think PRO should rank above ENT just because ENT cranks the horniness to 10 to the point of interfering with characterization and character development. True, Prodigy is kid-oriented, so it can’t be that horny, but still.

        However, I can understand PRO ranking lower overall because the classic series and LD are so good and PRO, for all its virtues, does have its flaws.

        I mean, I can’t even stand Jankom until season 2; Rok’s similarly a bit a annoying, but becomes a bit more bearable after the timeline. Also, the style’s a bit inconsistent; most of the main cast looks fine (Rok’s eyes could do to be a bit smaller), but real Janeway looks a bit out of Shrek, the Doctor just looks strange, and many of the background and minor characters looks really uncanny valley.

        Also, although I think the plots are better than DIS, the whole “big bad”, “let’s save the entire universe twice” thing is still a bit tiring.

        I think Mr. Tysess is absolutely beautiful with his gigantic chin, though, and I am astonished how much of that beautiful “random Ensign on Picard’s bridge” quality Daveed Diggs’s voice has (Thomas Jefferson is not very Starfleet). I need more Daveed Diggs in Star Trek!

        I agree on DS9… From there I would go:

        TNG

        LD

        VOY

        SNW

        ENT

        TOS

        PRO

        TAS (Even thoug I’ve never seen it)

        DIS/PIC

          TOS below ENT is unfathomable. I’ll have a go:

          DS9, TOS, TNG, DISCO, SNW, VOY, LD, PIC, PRO, TAS, ENT

          SNW would have beat out DISCO if it weren’t for season 3. Of course, I’m super mercurial and will stand by none of this in a week.

          Not actually that far away from my list. I understand putting TNG that high even if I disagree with it. TOS being that low is pure blasphemy, though

        Putting TOS as 3rd is just wrong, have you even watched it recently? Absolute terrible opinions good sir, especially having the greatest musical of all time so low on the list.

          The only good part of the musical (with the exception, maybe, of the Connected song), is my K-boys dropping some clap back at the end. It’s my ring tone for my work and my daughter (because the only time they call instead of text it’s because they have some dramas).

          I watch TOS relatively frequently, watched a few episodes the other day. It’s a really fantastic show, more great episodes in the first season than some other shows have their entire run. The Spock/Kirk/McCoy dynamic is as special as it has ever been. Pacing is slower, which I like, and even a lot of the mediocre eps do a really nice job setting up a mystery that they actually solve.

          There’s also a lot of truly awful eps, and highly outdated bits, but a great show.

          Also, much like Janeway I don’t appreciate being called sir, ma’am will do in a pinch. (I know Star Trek was trying to be progressive by using sir universally, but I find it mildly sexist)

          And I agree, it hurt to put Voyager as low as it was, the doctor’s rendition and alteration of la Donna e mobile was as brilliant as you state, but still had to put TNG higher, so many great episodes.
