All but deep throat nine were pretty good; that was just tedious space soap opera to me. Voyager was good (especially the cast which was almost as strong as TNG) but had so many opportunities to be better.

Star Trek meets Monty Python!

Next gen is my favourite. Although my own geekdom extends far further than a mere jaunt into trek.

The original Star Trek is worth glancing at for a laugh, Uhurauooooeee! Otherwise it's just another excuse to dump the Telly and save the license fee for bandwidth.

When Star Trek first appeared on TV, my English teacher advised us not to watch it because they split the infinitive!

Sounds painful. Is that like splitting your difference?

I only watched the original and some of TNG and I agree that TNG is probably more polished, with better storylines and characters. But the original kicked it all off and as there would be no franchise without that first series, plus having been able to enjoy Gene Roddenberry's pervy eye for costumes (female) it gets my vote.

TNG. The one I don't like is DS9 and the others are good, but TNG is the best.

A 'friend' is a true afficionado.. Teach Yourself Klingon tape, Starfleet Academy Training Manual... Technial Specification of the USS1701-D, loads of videos & DVDs

What's the difference between a Trekky and a Trekker?

They meet Marina Sirtis at a Convention and a Trekky will ask what Sex is like on a Holodeck, the Trekker asks what sex is like!

The original Star Trek Lightbulb Joke

Compared with the Next Generation lightbulb joke


Or the Enterprise lightbulb joke
Robert Anspach is inspired - his site also contains the Voyager and Deep Space and Enterpriseightbulb jokes in a similar vein.

ST:TNG obviously.
Voyager was possibly the worst programme ever on tv. Ever. The captain had a weird squeaky voice and those awful patronising moralising stories made me feel sick.
Oh and the acting, dear God, the acting...

I will confess to loving the TNG novels

I really am very cool

As for me, don't really consider myself a trekky but still quite enjoy watching them....

Star Trek TOS - come on....it's rubbish, eh?? I mean, really, Kirk gets to snog an 'alien' female every other episode and Spock, well, let's not go there.
Star Trek TNG - The best, in my opinion - not as 'dark' as DS9 but on the other hand, characters that were more interesting, a great captain (come on, is there really any competition between Patrick Stewart and the others???) and innovative for its time.
DS9 - 'dark' as said, had a continuing story arc, which was refreshing, and new enemies, but still not really that dark and so much more could have been done with it.
Voyager - Great ideas, but immediately annoying captain (chew some lockets, love) and Harry Kim, wtf? Seven of Nine was when the shark was totally jumped, if you ask me.
Enterprise - Scott Bakula should have rested with Quantum Leap instead of going on to this. Early episodes promising but temporal cold war totally pointless and messed up the other franchises as well as turning viewers off in droves.

There is my completely unbiased and authoritative opinion...not.
