I'm one of those weirdos who likes Voyager, it went back to the original shows "exploring the unknown" theme.

 

Poor Archer.

 

Does nobody love Jonathan?

Well if his post was series killer..then I could see nominating him....that show killed the franchise.

 

I think the blame should be placed at the feet of Rick Berman and pals, the franchise succeed despite them, not because of them.

 

There is no singing in Star Trek intro songs!!!! Made it all look like a cheesey 80s video. Bleh.

That didn't help but I'm sure people would have got over the cheesy theme had the show itself not been the same tired old Berman/Braga stuff.

With Enterprise, much of the enjoyment of the show was lost because you already knew were things were going to end up. It was less "in the now" and more like a history lesson. Sure, it was a return to that "alien of the week" premise that founded the original series and TNG, but it didn't have the established "we think we know what we're doing" quality that made the characters look more irresponsible and foolhardy than anything. It was the reason why the movie for the reboot had to pretty much obliterate generations of cannon to even be interesting... Not that an actual series based on the new timeline ever happened.

My favorite was the original series, due primarily to Spock, secondarily to McCoy. However, Picard was the finest Starfleet captain of all time, in my opinion.

 

I couldn't wrap my head around a female Starbuck. :D

Aww ... she was the reason I began watching BSG in the first place. I identified more with her character than any other. :wub: The original Starbuck was something of a cliché.

The problem I found with Enterprise was the pacing was very erratic, with episodes being shown weekly things could be left hanging for months. I've since watched all four seasons via the boxset in a much shorter time and the series is greatly improved.

Saw all the Star Trek series and actually prefer Voyager mainly because it had the oh crap you stranded out in the middle of no where and have little knowledge of your suroundings. They kind of had the alien of the week thing as well but most of them where reoccuring and provided some long story archs. Where I remember a lot of TNG it was one and done and rarely had long story archs. I know Seven of Nine was an intresting character they added later, but my favorite character was actually Nelix and his interactions with the crew. Here you have someone who doesn't really have a major formal training like the rest of the crew but oddly someone they can truely count on. Also I love his interactions with Tuvok :)
