Deep Space 9 Is The Best Trek Show By Far
Without question DS9 was the best Trek and no other show even comes in a close second. DS9 was so not conventional Trek that it sometimes seemed like it wasn’t even part of the same universe. It was a more dark and serious show that dealt head on with religion, war, sexuality, gender roles and politics in a way that no other Trek show had ever done. It also had the best cast of characters and actors (from main cast to supporting players) of any of the Trek shows with it being a rarity to find a character that was all good or all bad but instead the characters all existed in a bit of a grey area. And DS9 did amazing things with characters from other Trek shows…Worf and Chief O’Brien became far more fully realized characters on DS9 than they ever were on TNG.
DS9 was Trek for adults and was the precursor to the work that writer/producer Ron Moore would end up doing on the Battlestar Galactica reboot.

Dude, I’m In Total Agreement With You.
Especially The Fact That DS9 Seriously IS The Best Trek TV Production. Period. TNG May Be My Fave Fave, But DS9 Really Was The Best.

This post makes me want to go back and watch old star trek episodes now, lol. I actually have barely seen any of DS9 or Voyager, I was much more of a TNG guy at the time. I’ll have to change that methinks

The only thing I disagree on is Dr. Pulaski. I do agree with your opinion of Crusher, but for whatever reason, I never liked Pulaski. You’re absolutely right about DS9. It was the best of the 5 series. I thought the series finale was meh. They built up some tension for the finale, but I don’t think they executed the finale properly. I think they had too many storylines to wrap up. Both, Enterprise & Voyager are underrated. Janeway is my favorite captain. On Enterprise, I loved that the crew wasn’t bound by the “Prime Directive”. I thought that made some of the stories more interesting, esp. with the Xindi.

I know she is a tough sell but I just love Pulaski to pieces.
I have been revisiting Voyager and have found myself enjoying Janeway more than I initially did during the show’s original run.

Guinan is the stupidiest, most useless character in Trekdom. Just that idiotic costume is enough to deep space her pitiful behind. She is constantly imposed on episodes without advancing the plot in anyway. Compared to Guinan Neelix is a Spock.
