[QUOTE="Hex08, post: 8686297, member: 7029595"] Snarf's game so Snarf's rules, no animated series but I think that does an injustice to some great entries into the franchise. [B]1. TOS.[/B] I agree with Snarf here, the first season had very few stumbles with some great writers. Yeah, they were still figuring things out so there wasn't a lot of consistent continuity but when this show aired such things weren't really a concern. It also did something several Star Trek shows had a problem with; it had a handle on the characters personalities right out of the gate. [B]2. SNW.[/B] I am willing to say that this first season was as good as TOS and if it were not for my undying love of the Original Series, I might even give it a leg up. Greats characters, solid episodes even at their weakest and great writing. It even made me love characters, like Chapel, that I was indifferent to in TOS. [B]3. ENT.[/B] Going to disagree with Snarf here. While I am not a fan of the Temporal Cold War the show had the exploratory feel that a pre-Federation, well...exploratory vessel should have. I loved the feeling that these were the real pioneers exploring the galaxy. Also, like TOS and SNW it had a handle on, for the most part, who its characters were right away. The theme song was horrible though. [B]4. Picard.[/B] I loved it for its nostalgia, although the state the Federation was in was kind of disappointing. It took too much of its design aesthetic from DISCO, which was bad enough in DICO and very out of place in Picard. It was great to see Jean-Luc again. I loved the way the show used Seven of Nine, Riker and Troy. Data got a much better ending than the travesty that was Nemesis. I also liked most of the new characters, except Raffi but in the second season my opinion of her changed. [B]5. DS9. [/B]It was certainly different than what came before and that was a good thing. It was nice to see Starfleet personnel in a different setting than we were used to. I wasn't a fan of Sisko being a religious figure. Here's where we enter the land of truly terrible first seasons..... [B]6. VOY. [/B]"Oh wow, this looks cool. Both Federation and Maquis on the same ship lost far from home? This should lead to some super stories with interpersonal conflict that we don't normally see on Trek." A few episodes in "Um, what happened????" [B]7. TNG.
