Ranking the Star Treks

[Benjamin Olson]

I think I'd cautiously put Strange New Worlds on top, after considering how many middling episodes there really are in all the series made for broadcast television. I mean TNG is my nostalgic favorite and it barely has any good episodes until season 3.

But Strange New Worlds could blossom into the absolute platonic ideal of Star Trek and it still wouldn't get me to continue my Paramount+ subscription once the current season is done.

Third best for me. I go IV, II, VI, I, III, V.

My order would be 6, 4, 2, 3, 1, 5. I guess a lot of people put the evens first.

Nah, it's not flawless. I love it, and it's the best Trek in a long, long, long time, but there are things about it which bug me.

Sure. The context is that I was creating a hypothetical for the premise that even if it were perfect I'm done with paying a monthly fee to the Paramount Global / Skydance Media conglomerate after this season finishes, not proposing that perfection was actually achievable.
