[QUOTE="Mustrum_Ridcully, post: 6888102, member: 710"] DS9 is my favorite Trek. It has the best ensemble in my view, and a powerful story arc. But regardless what series I watch, all of them have their flaws, including of course DS9. (I am in the middle of rewatching it now.) I think in some ways it has however a very interesting and highly "current events" element: We talk about the War on Terror and all, but in DS9, we are actually siding with the terrorists. Of course, they have the "freedom fighter" appeal of being the obvious good guys fighting evil opressionist, and there is basically only one episode that really dwells on the full nastiness of their situation. I am not sure a show like this would be made today. As both fan of DS9 and Battlestar Galactica I really wonder what those combined creative teams (I am well aware of the overlap in the teams) could have achieved if they had been given Voyager. I can totally see the movie appeal in the TOS movies. I love First Contact, but I don't care much about the other TNG movies. (Nemesis redeeming feature is a cool space battle). But the "TOS" movies had a nice aesthetic. Undisocvered Country there was always my favorite. And I loved IV's comedy. I know that among fans, Wrath of Khan is deemed the best, but I don't agree - it's just among the good ones. And I must admit the Constitution Refit in the TNG movies is one of the best "classic" looking Enterprises. I like the Sovereign and Galaxy, too, but the Constitution is the one ship that manages to basically modernize the ship while retaining the overall shape. Angled but straight pylons, 2 nacelles, thin neck, and a saucer. I stopped reading Star Trek novels a long time ago (overal, my book reading frequency has gone down as has my free time), but my favorite novels where interestlingy TOS, even though at the time I preferred TNG as a series. I recently picked up "Neverending Sacrifice" and a "Stitch in Time" and really liked those (I particularly recommend Neverending Sacrifice), but I have no real intention of following the current novel lines for Star Trek.
