Star Trek

As this is a new community I thought it would be fun to get to know each other by sharing our most and least favourite series. (We’ll do the films another time)

Obviously I’ll start.

1. Deep Space Nine
2. Voyager
3. The Next Generation
4. Enterprise
5. Picard Season 3
6. The Original Series
7. Lower Decks
8. Strange New Worlds
9. Prodigy
10. The Animated Series
11. Discovery
12. Picard Seasons 1 & 2

I know I’m kind of cheating by splitting Picard up but season 3 is so different and so far removed from the truly awful first two seasons it deserves its own slot. I do believe Picard has the single worst season in all of Star Trek with season 1 and the single best season in the franchise with season 3.

TNG’s 3rd and 4th seasons come close but I think Picards 3rd season just tops them. That’s a massive credit to Terry Matalas to turn the show around from some of the worst in the franchise to some of the best.

Here’s hoping we get Star Trek Legacy but given Paramounts current financial situation it seems unlikely.

Also Ben Sisko is the GOAT of Starfleet Captains.

What order would you put the series in?

For those of you eagerly anticipating the final season of Star Trek Discovery, you won’t have to wait long.

The 5th and final season will begin streaming on Paramount+ with episodes one and two on April 4th.

It’s likely to be one of only two new seasons of Star Trek in 2024 with Lower Decks season 5 expected in the summer. Strange New Worlds on the other hand is still filming for season 3 with that series not expected to return until 2025.

There’s also the Section 31 movie in the works and what you could call a Discovery spin-off in Starfleet Academy set in Discovery’s take on the 32nd century. Both aren’t expected until 2025 at the earliest.

Are you sad to see Discovery end and are you looking forward to more Kurtzman Trek?

Discovery has proven controversial with fans since it’s beginning in 2017 with many, including myself feeling that it strays too far from what makes Trek, Trek and largely ignored 50+ years of canon to make Star Trek appeal to a “modern audience.”

I wish we had more focus on the Romulans. They were always this big threat but never were really the main villain.

In Enterprise, they could have transitioned to a Romulan war. If even be happy with a new series about it.

Just want to see if I get banned agin
