This post is to answer the query of @[email protected] regarding my ranking of each Trek series as they currently stand. Being a child of the 80’s certainly influences my choices, plus the “golden age” longer seasons allowing for better character development. SNW having not quite 2 seasons remaining (the 5th and final season being a truncated 6 episodes; rather shy of the modern era 10) leaves its spot in limbo. Chances are I’ll end up placing it above LD. Then there’s the upcoming Academy yet to debut, making any more steadfast placement caught in temporal flux. Bring it on… And do play nice in the comments. Opinions we can disagree with, but remember that they come from people. Very flawed people.
Background from TAS S2e4 “How Sharper Than a Serpent’s Tooth.” Just love the scenery artwork in that show.
No amount of money could save the weak and inconsistent writing. TAS being episodic gives it some leeway, plus the original cast lending their voices is a huge boon. Doohan doing most of the heavy lifting.
