[QUOTE="Ryujin, post: 8686878, member: 27897"] [B]1. ST : TOS -[/B] The Gold Standard, especially given the time in which it premiered. Such good writing and what, for the time, were very progressive ideas, all hidden in what passed for basic North American action-adventure TV for the time. [B]2. ST : SNW - [/B]TOS, but updated for today's more progressive times. A solid first season of classic episodic TV. [B]3. ST : DS9 - [/B]Say what you will, but for me DS9 was stronger out-of-the-gate than most other Star Trek series. It took some time for the main characters to find their legs, as it generally does, but the setting and basic concepts were all solid from jump. [B]4. ST : TNG - [/B]I found the first few seasons to be rocky and themes from TOS were often repeated, imperfectly. Still, the characters and setting felt like a more touchie-feelie Star Trek than the original, but still Star Trek none the less. [B]5. ST : VOY - [/B]Annoying, reductive, and idiotic characters in season 1. Captain "Ramming Speed" should never have made the rank and any sane commander would have likely spaced more than half of the mutinous crew before the halfway mark of the season. [B]6. ST : ENT - [/B]If the question was about first EPISODES, then this show would rank higher. It started out reasonably well but started down a rabbit hole very quickly, that it wouldn't recover from, until it had already been cancelled. [B]7. ST : DISCO - [/B]Most notable, to me, for being the only Star Trek show that I haven't been able to make it though a full season of. Just. So. Bad. When it was announced it appeared to be, on paper, the sort of thing that I would very much enjoy. Lord, was I wrong, and the odd attempt to continue from where I had left off hasn't convinced me otherwise. [B]NOT RATED: 3. PICARD - [/B]I tend to think of it more as "Star Trek adjacent." Very much enjoyed it, but doesn't quite fit the same mould, to my mind. [/QUOTE]
