The best Trek ever!
-
It is really great! I just finished a watch of it a few weeks ago and I just want to watch it again.
The characters are really great.
-
Of course it was, it was based on Babylon 5
Shots fired
-
I should watch all of Babylon 5 again...
-
-
And it even has baseball
-
-
But I'm already midway through watching ds9
-
Well, clearly you're going to have to start again.

I'm finally watching star trek with my girlfriend and getting her into it. Been watching along with her on TNG. So far we are about done with season 1, but I am big excited to re-watch DS9 se5, especially with her watching it for the first time by my side.
Gonna have to brave the awful ass se1 Sisko haircut though lol.
-
Went through the same process with my partner... Apparently she prefers Sisko with hair and no beard!
But she also liked S1&2 of TNG a lot...

I've just started a Voyager run through with my kids. Dare I say S1 of Voyager is a much better introduction to "modern" Trek than the fairly uneven S1 TNG? I think Janeway is underrated as a Star Fleet captain.
-
S1 TNG is infamously jank.

I'm rewatching TNG and season 1 was pretty.... Off. Most of the characters seemed to be cheap knockoffs of their established personas. The most distinctive for me was Brent Spiner (Data), where, I can't put my finger on it, but he just seemed off the the data that I know and love.
I chalk it up to him coming off of being a comedic bit actor and he was still finding himself for the more dramatic role of data. He hadn't really nailed down the robotic methodology of his actions and speech that really makes data stand out. His responses were often quick, to the point of speaking over others, and his actions were fairly fluid and organic, which isn't Data at all.
It really didn't take long for him to work his way into the role (and into our hearts), I'm not criticising Brent by any stretch. He was and I'm sure still is, an incredible actor.... Judging by his fairly recent role reprising Data on Picard, he really hasn't lost his touch.
There's plenty of other things about season one that are odd, but I found Data to be the most notable. Still, worf was a lot more brooding, Picard seemed almost more timid, Riker didn't have a beard.... The only person from season one who I can point to with certainty and say that they didn't seem off from season 1 (compared to how I know the character), was Dr. Crusher. She was hitting it out of the park from day 1.
No matter the oddity, almost all of it was simply gone by the end of season one. I'm partway into season two now and I wouldn't be able to differentiate the characters on screen from any other season of the show, or from their movies.

She is! Always wondered why she got so much hate in the community. Not as much as Archer did though. Which is also great IMHO.
-
The first two seasons of TNG are balls.
-
They're not quite as terrible as their reputation. Yeah, they've definitely got some of the worst episodes of Trek ever, but there are good ones in there, too.
-
I agree but still good Trek compared to Discovery and Picard.
-
-
I reckon Voyager was the best of the star treks
-
-
Having grown up on DS9 and Voyager, and just finished all the good new trek, I went back and stared TNG for the first time.
The rest of this post intentionally left blank.
-
I'm the opposite right now. Grew up on TNG, just finished SNW and Lower Decks and now I'm watching DS9 for the first time.
-
I grew up on tng. Thought nothing could top picard and his crew... You are in for a treat!
-
-
I and my wife have both watched all of Star Trek individually before we met. When new trek appeared we rewatched everything before watching all of new trek, good and less good, together

Actual picture of my heart.
-
As of New Year's Pluto.TV moved this steam to DS9.
-
You gotta have faith of the heart, after all.
-
This is totally me! I'm in the rewatch zone!
-
I’m doing a chronological rewatch of the whole franchise and am at the episodes where DS9 and Voyager overlap. It is mind boggling how much better DS9 is. I find myself wanting to skip almost every Voyager episode so I can just get to the DS9 ones.
-
That's a funny way to spell SG-1.
-
My unpopular opinion is that most of DS9 is poorly written, and often doesn't even have a B story.
-
Deep space nine.... Wow I can watch that again it's been decades... Am I old now?
-
Anyone know if that DS9 server that was remaking it with AI visuals is still around?

You're right, I probably should go rewatch that episode where the crew triggers a Cardasians trap, and the station captures them, and Dukat comes to gloat.
Attention Bajoran workers!
It has my favorite scene in it when Garak accuses Dukat of having a crush on Kora and the shocked "Garak" response from him was so comical.
