All except Enterprise

TOS, TNG and DS9 are all worth watching. Voyager and Enterprise you can skip if you want. Though ENT seasons three and four are actually quite good. Voyager on the other hand is bad overall with a few sprinkles of good episodes.

Watch all of them

Thread dead.

Please see:
for the current Star Trek thread.

This is the majority opinion in /trek/ threads.

How fucking safe of you. Why don't you try forming some opinions of your own instead of just following the herd?

Anyone else watching this on the History channel?
Jeri Ryan mentioned that she was supposed to be brought on to the Insurrection movie to replace another character as Seven.
So do you think Insurrection would've worked better if 7 of 9 was brought instead of Worf?
Or would the Picard/Borg dynamic have thrown off his romance with donna murphy's character?

That's my opinion, personally I watched all of them, but I would have been fine not watching Voyager, it isn't very good. Lots of problems behind the scenes, very telling. While DS9 was expanding on Star Trek in new and interesting ways Voyager was stagnating and having to resort to adding pic related because it couldn't actually tell a good story with the characters it already had.

Janeway deserved a better show

b but muh dick!

Internet porn already existed in the nineties.

Internet didnt even exist until the early 2000s

interesting fact about the actress who played seven of nine. She was involved in a high profile sex scandal with her then husband who was running for Senate in Illinois. As a result of the scandal he ended up losing to his opponent Barack Obama

Then how did Borg drones communicate with each other?

You're right, that is an interesting fact. Thanks for sharing it!

I think we ALL know

Now take a look at . There's someone who isn't afraid to hold an unpopular opinion. Learn from them, you fucking coward.

But is completely wrong you retard

Everything but TOS, TNG, VOY, DS9, ENT and the films.

...

Everything but ENT seasons 1-2, pre worf ds9 and pre seven of nine voyager

Voyager , Enterprise, TNG. In that order.

>>It's a Kai WInn episode

If you're going to watch Star Trek you should just start watching in the order of release and not stop till you're sick of it or you've seen everything.

Voyager is pretty shit before Seven Of Nine shows up but if you're really into Star Trek you'll tough it out. It's worth it to get to Enterprise which despite what shitlords on Sup Forums think is a great show that was canceled far too early.

Dick status: Qapla!

Honestly like %10 of DS9 and TNG are watchable and intesting. The rest is pure trash.

>I spent hundreds of hours watching what I consider to be pure trash

Don't respond to (You) farmers.

Combs a best

TOS - Best Trek. The Trek all other Treks are to be judged by.
TNG - Meme Trek.
DS9 + VOY - Meme Trek done right.
ENT - Trek for normies.

>meme opinion

>The rest is pure trash.

But that's what makes TNG so great. It's entertaining and cheesy.

All of those have good and bad episodes.

IMHO DS9 is weakest show when it comes to good episodes, there isn't many of those. It has less bad episodes than other Treks, but in the end that means that it's most mediocre show. Every other show is better than DS9 at their best and worse at their worst.

Last two season of ENT are probably best seasons of Trek and almost certainly will remain so in foreseeable future.

>the internet existed in some form since the 60s, do the bare minimum of research

From mid 70's from techincal standpoint, Internet Protocol was introduced back then, sure even that had it's precursors, but until then it was impossible to do truely large networks. Until September 1993 it was only in universities and few select high tech companies.

Totally agree on the last two seasons of ENT being best Trek but I can't understand how anyone could dislike DS9. The Dominion War is the climax of Star Trek.

anyone who thinks DS9 is good is a real life autist. It is so incredibly bad, at first I thought it wasn't watching the official star trek show but some kind of rip off.

>I can't understand how anyone could dislike DS9
It's all people who instinctively hate whatever is popular. If we regularly praised one of the other treks as the best, they would say the same shit about it instead.

>I started watching Star Trek after The Big Bang Theory

Nigger, I've been watching Star Trek since before TNG was on the air.

1. Deep Space 9
2. The Next Generation
3. Voyager
4. Enterprise

9001. The Original Series

Everything except Voyager and Enterprise.

>Totally agree on the last two seasons of ENT being best Trek but I can't understand how anyone could dislike DS9. The Dominion War is the climax of Star Trek.

I compare it to a superior contemporary show it nicked it's premise from and it delivered inferior from said premise.

There are only few truely standout episodes in DS9, even Voyager does better on it's best episodes and DS9 even more inferior when compared to best episodes of TNG or TOS. Pretty much only thing it shines is pointless banter between characters, yet even there it never catches TNG or TOS in character interaction. Show is completely stolen by Quark, Dukat, Worf and O'Brien.

>It's all people who instinctively hate whatever is popular. If we regularly praised one of the other treks as the best, they would say the same shit about it instead.

Everyone aren't contrarians for sake of being contrarian. There are quite legitimate reasons to consider DS9 inferior to other Treks.

Voyager

Can someone post the TOS viewing guide image? I've lost mine

>Everyone aren't contrarians for sake of being contrarian. There are quite legitimate reasons to consider DS9 inferior to other Treks.
You're right. I forgot to include the (You) farmers.

Don't listen to negativatrons, Voyager and Enterprise are fine, think of them as both continuing writing explorations of different episodes you could imagine.

Order I watched.
TNG-DS9-VOY-ENT-TOS

People who don't like Voyager just can't into opera

TOS TNG and Enterprise. The rest are shit

When people say "Terrible" even at terrible, most of Trek is completely watchable. There are only a handful of episodes that are seriously painful to watch like These Are the Voyages, Threshold, Turnabout Intruder, Code of Honour, Shades of Gray, Angel One, Spock’s Brain etc etc. where the rest just seem to have meh writing overall.

ENT and VOY aren't terrible shows, but they are products of that weird time of the early 00s where TV was a bit all over the place and stunted, other shows like Stargate, Buffy, Dark Angel also suffer from the same issues. I remember showing my girlfriend ENT and she was like "Lol this writing is like Dawsons Creek tier and wtf is that theme song holy shit it's so early 2000s".

I would argue TV in general didn't really start getting good until 2005 and it's probably not a coincidence that ENT started to really pick up in quality around then as well.

Babylon 5 is a superior series watch that instead.

>When people say "Terrible" even at terrible, most of Trek is completely watchable.
This is true. Despite how bad Voyager is, I'll take it over most non-trek schlock.

So why aren't you posting in the B5 thread? I've been trying to keep it alive, but it just keeps sinking.

Glad to see I'm not the only one thinking TNG is boring as all fuck. I watched 'The Inner Lights' a.k.a "the best episode", and laughed at how it couldn't hold a candle to 'Amok Time' or 'Balance of Terror'.

I never saw B5 but even if I did I don't see how it's relevant to whether or not DS9 is good. Yes, muh stolen plotlines, I get it. What I don't get is the relevance to whether DS9 by itself is an enjoyable television series. I would also say that episodes like Duets, Trials and Tribble-ations, and In The Pale Moonlight can hang with the best TOS and TNG had to offer.

>Show is completely stolen by Quark, Dukat, Worf and O'Brien

You forgot Garak but what is the point of this, that DS9 had an amazing cast of characters? That is not a negative.

It's because retards get sucked into brand loyalty. Instead of enjoying two quality tv shows, they obsess over one, and hate the other.

>What I don't get is the relevance to whether DS9 by itself is an enjoyable television series.

DS9 still retains the return to status quo idea that was fine in far more episodic shows like TNG. As whole show Voyager fails even more in being series and completely ditches it's premise in very short time, after that it turns into TNG with worse cast, but still has lots of good stand alone episodes.

>I would also say that episodes like Duets, Trials and Tribble-ations, and In The Pale Moonlight can hang with the best TOS and TNG had to offer.

There isn't as much those good episodes as in other Treks. DS9 is at it's best on off pace comedy episodes like Trials and Tribble-ations and Little Green Men. While other Treks have some of those as well, there is also stuff like Course: Oblivion, Blink of an Eye and All the Good Things, better episodes with bit more serious tone that few and far between in DS9.

>You forgot Garak but what is the point of this, that DS9 had an amazing cast of characters? That is not a negative.

True on Garak. Sidekicks and characters transplanted from TNG completely steal the show from main cast. It's another way to say that rest of DS9 main cast is about as bland as Harry Kim.

Finally gave O'Brien some character, and had Worf as something other than a punching bag that gets his suggestions shot down every time.

i enjoyed enterprise and think it has the strongest first 2 seasons of any of the shows. come at me

>It's another way to say that rest of DS9 main cast is about as bland as Harry Kim

Not the most popular opinion on Sup Forums but I also really liked Kira. Bashir was also a generally fun character. Didn't care for Sisko or his brat however, didn't like Dax, and actively hoped for Nog and Rom to have a tragic airlock accident.

So when it comes to the core cast I can see putting DS9 beneath TOS and TNG, but it certainly surpassed Voyager. Enterprise is difficult to compare it to as it had a smaller cast but I could've done without Stuffy Brit and Token personally.

...

Friendly reminder that Dukat did nothing wrong.

"muh cult"

Skip Enterprise. Watch TOS with a viewing guide. Watch the rest in order or with a viewing guide. Star Trek is great, and all the series except Enterprise have great episodes, but they all also have episodes that are absolute slogs. TNG is the strongest, in my opinion, because all characters are tolerable to good. DS9 is the worst because some of the characters I really can't give a shit about (DS9 is a Sup Forums favourite so people will tell you to watch it all, the political intrigue is decent but seriously, most of the characters are hard to tolerate). Voyager is middle ground because the quality of writing really affects the characters and episodes, and it has high peaks and low valleys.

Please explain in detail your hate for Enterprise and why you think it is to be skipped.

He's going full meme for (You)'s

I just watched the last episode of TOS. As a single episode it stood up well on it's own, but as a series finale it doesn't really act as an end cap.

>muh pah'wraiths

ftfy

Oh really?

TNG and DS9.

Enterprise and Voyager are fun too.

Sometimes popular opinion is popular opinion because a lot of people have that opinion independently of one another.

Not everything is hivemind.

>tfw GoT actors will never guest star in star trek tng

Thank god.
