Just thought you ought to know.
Even the animated stuff?
Do you feel like your life is improved as a result?

Which series was your favorite? I grew up watching TNG, and it has a special place in my heart. But watching it now, I realize that so many episodes are garbage.
I think DS9 has the best writing of the whole series, and it has the fewest shit episodes.

I liked Enterprise a lot in general, but I didn't like the Xindi plot arc at all.
TNG has the best three Star Trek episodes of the whole franchise: Best of Both Worlds I and II, and Q Who.
How will you spend your time now?I say he should re-watch all of Star Trek again, this time writing a 1000-word review of each episode.

Irrelevant.
I'd have to strongly disagree. My three favourite episodes are two from TOS (The Cage and Miri) and one from TNG (The Inner Light).
If I had to pick, it would be a close tie between TOS and Voyager. But not by very much; I like them all. I'd say there's more variation within each series than between the series.
DS9 is good, but basically all of season 5 was a bore for me. It felt like they just wrote an entire season of filler. Aside from that, it's a great series.

The main reason I wouldn't say I have episodes I especially favour after TNG is that they started to spread stories across multiple episodes, so it's harder to pick one.
Voyager was great.Incorrect.
Voyager is terribly underrated.Incorrect.
Are the fan "films" on film? If not, Parsifal's statement is unambiguously true.Are all of the episodes on film? If not, then your objection is irrelevant.

shit writing and shit characters.
Message in a Bottle.
RIP Leonard Nimoy. You lived long and prospered. :'(
Finally getting around to watching all of Enterprise. I don't have much of a problem with it, other than the intro song (at least in the first season). Who thought this song was a good idea? Lyrics? Power ballad about faith? I don't understand why they didn't stick with a purely instrumental piece for the intro, like every other damn iteration in the series.
The best episode is "City on the Edge of Forever", obviously.
For the most part TNG has been awful, though it's finally starting to get better and develop into the show I remember loving so much as a kid.
Who would win in a star fight, Captain Star Trek or Commander Star Wars?
For the most part TNG has been awful, though it's finally starting to get better and develop into the show I remember loving so much as a kid. Starting with "Measure of a Man", always one of my favorites, I've been on a run of mostly good episodes lately. And thankfully it won't be long before Dr Pulaski is but a faint, irritating memory.

I rewatched the first half of that on my recent flight home from New Zealand. Sadly, the plane had to land before I could finish. :( A great episode it is.For the most part TNG has been awful, though it's finally starting to get better and develop into the show I remember loving so much as a kid.
TNG is almost total shite for the first couple of seasons. The only standout early episode was The Royale; that was the one that really got me hooked on TNG.
I recall it getting steadily better from around season 3, and the high point for me was the end of season 5, with the fantastic couplet of The Inner Light and Time's Arrow.
To be honest, I think the worst iteration is Voyager. Parts of it are great, like the rights of holograms issue and Nine (sometimes), but overall it detracts from the series as a whole. Mostly because of the finale. Now that time travel is a thing, nothing is really an issue anymore. At least it feels that way. Sure, there are other problems. The entire cast is weak, in my opinion, and the Doctor is the only real redeeming character. Janeway's ok, but she's just a female Picard. And Chakotay always seemed a bit like a racist character. They focused way too much on his Native American heritage and never really developed his character further than "ok I'll work with the Federation for now".
If you watch Voyager just skip the finale. You won't regret it.
I loved the finale. I thought it was a clever way to end the series without just saying "Oh they found a wormhole. All done."If you watch Voyager just skip the finale. You won't regret it.
The finale was a total cop-out. It's like somebody realised they had to write an ending with one episode to go, and then tried to make it a climax without any plot development leading up to that point.

This will contain spoilers for anyone who hasn't watched Voyager.
I'm going to have to side with Parsifal. Time travel just opens up too many stupid possibilities, and it's confusing. Did Janeway create a parallel timeline from the one we've been watching this whole time, or is this the same timeline? Obviously there's a paradox that crops up because of all this. The first being: if future Janeway saved herself and the rest of her crew then she would have no reason to go back in time to save her crew in the first place, which means her crew was never actually saved.. but they were. Now this could all be resolved by using different timelines, but that is never explicitly stated. It's just silly writing normally only reserved for Doctor Who, especially when it's used to resolve a series long arc. It almost demeans their whole journey.
Also, why didn't she save everyone that died? I guess Seven of Nine and Tuvok were just more important than the rest of the crew that died during their seven year (?) journey. She technically had the power to avoid the whole situation.Probably a combination of "yes" and "Time travel sucks so let's not mess with it so much as to save dozens of lives which may only cause more deaths in the altered timeline.

A better way to end the series would have been to kill off everyone on Voyager and have them never reach home. Just once, I'd like to see a sci-fi show with the balls to go against the grain like that.
Battlestar Galactica (the 2004 series) probably comes closest, of the ones I'm familiar with.
Tuvok, played by Tim Russ, is apparently in Renegades. So I'm already sold.

What the hell is this?
Why would the Federation, or Starfleet, think it's a good idea to throw a bunch of criminals on a ship and hope for the best? That's my biggest issue with the concept.

I dunno, it worked for Australia.
But how they can make that? Why aren't they getting sued?
Huh, I always thought the ending to Battlestar, although emotionally rewarding, was pretty close to Voyageur.
Starbuck fills the same sort of role as Future Janeway and it is sort of Deus Ex Machina in that way. They did kill the President, but I did not think it was too against the grain.
I'm glad they "cast" Corin Nemec. That guy can't lose.

I wonder if anyone else got this besides me. Do the young folks know about Parker Lewis Can't Lose?
Anyway, "Q Who" is probably where TNG really started to get interesting. The first appearance of the Borg and it was actually excellent in almost every way... easily, I think, the best episode of the first two seasons. You put "The Royale" above this, Parsifal? ???

Every Q episode in the series is good, in my opinion. Voyager has about 4 Q episodes. Two of which involve Q's son, Q.
Rocky doesn't win in every movie, though.

Oh, was that in season 2? I thought it was season 3. Q Who is a fantastic episode, yes, although since it comes after The Royale, I'd still say that The Royale is where TNG starts getting good.
I'm not sure how I'd compare them episode-for-episode. They're both great in very different ways.
Right now I'm at the midpoint of one of the high points of TNG: "Best of Both Worlds".
