Sci-fi reflects our hopes and aspirations more than the actual future. The original series was so optimistic and idealist. Money did not play a part. Politics was for other worlds. Even the cold war reflection of the Kingons was moving towards peace. With later series reality crept in. Just as it did in the 70`s

The original, hands-down. Despite some ridiculous episodes (Spock's Brain being a prime example), it was the dynamic of the relationships between Kirk, Spock and McCoy that made it so immensely enjoyable to watch. Plus, the genius of Roddenberry to put mixed races and nationalities on the board of the ship (including putting a Russian and an African-American woman on the bridge in the middle of the Cold War and at the flashpoint of the Civil Rights movement), not to mention foreshadowing desktop computers, floppy disks and a whole host of other technological advances (though I'm still waiting for my transporter!). I have happy memories of discussing issues like the merits of the Prime Directive, changing history via time travel, etc., based upon episodes of the original series and I enjoy watching them to this very day.

The original series. What else is there?

Original. Hands down.

The original and Deep Space Nine. The original for its messaging and DS9 becuase it was darker and edgier.

5

Deep Space 9.

Sorry my friend; I am old school TREK - but I never choose favorites!

4

NextGen

4

DS9, hands down.

DS9,loved it

The one with Patrick Stewart

The original. It touched on "taboos" and diversity in the early sixties long before our society was ready to accept it. Even though there were only three season it has endured. 🙂

I agree. You can't judge yesteryear by today's morals and laws. 🙂

Next Gen is where I hope the future lives with many excellent stories! The original series and movies were my gate way. Voyager was ok but I watched it irregularly. I missed Deep Space Nine, Enterprise, and Dicovery.

TNG has always been my favorite

4

DS9, even if it was a rip-off of Babylon 5.

4

TNG.

DS9. Dark and yet funny.

4

The original tv series.

I like the darker feel of DS9.

3

Red Dwarf, for sure.

Probably Discovery, to be honest.

I would have to go with DS9.
TNG a close second. Very close.
I never really watched the Original, it gets silly.

3

For years it was TOS but I totally love TNG and Patrick Stewart is an awesome actor.

3

Next Generation.

3

TNG, followed by Enterprise. Of course, I grew up on TOS, and will always like it. I did like Voyager and DS9.... but I got into DS9 much later and haven't seen a lot of it before Worf arrived. As for Discovery, I've seen only the first hour, so I can't say. I'll reserve judgement on that one.

@omalita Actually, there are at least a few others on this thread who placed Enterprise second. I loved Quantum Leap, so I started watching Enterprise with a huge favorable bias. 😀

The next generation by far they still air it on BBC in the afternoons. Great stories with life meanings if you look deeper into it.

TNG! And DS9, Voyager.
