Okay I'll start this. I for one love the original, the next generation and I guess enterprise was alright.

Deep Space Nine was my favorite. Especially the later seasons where the Dominion gets involved.

They were really able to do a lot with a cast half made up of people who were not Starfleet.

TNG universe for me so DS9 and Voyager.

DS9 was all about obrien and bashir as well as quark and dax.

Voyager was all about the doctor.

I couldn't choose just one...or two...or three...or four, even. I liked them all...a lot. Even through my tears at the crimes the writers of Enterprise committed, I still liked the show overall. Looking forward to more. ,\\//

DS9 >> TOS = TNG = ENT > VOY

DS9 had by far the best writing, best characters, and most believable character development. Sisko is amazing, and need I say more than Garak and Quark?

TNG is obviously strong, but the characters barely developed in comparison.

TOS started it all and although campy, had the most poignant themes.

Enterprise was a pleasant surprise and had the second best character development of any trek.

Voyager had an interesting premise but weak execution and bland characters for the most part.

TOS > TNG > Voyager > ST reboot>DS9 >....................................>Enterprise

TOS and TNG are classic and for me the only real Star Trek shows (mainly the through movies though1-7)
TNG had the most creative episodes and the best Captain, however the Charackters weren't that great/beleivable
especially Worf/Riker/Wessley.

Voyager was great, with great Story and Charackters, but some of the Episodes were just copies of TNG Episodes (good ones, but nonetheless copies)

DS9, quite suprised how many ppl liked it actually, I found it the least trekkish Star Trek show. It was way more about human relationship than the actually vision of the future. For me it was laways like watching the sci-fi version of Dallas.

Enterpise, had a nice Intro.

You know there are so damn many, but if I had to choose, it would be In The Pale Moonlight. It showcased what Sisko and Garak were capable of doing and was an incredible morality tale.

A very close second is The Visitor. One of three Star Trek episodes to ever make me cry. Truly a masterpiece, and the relationship between Sisko and Jake was such a strong point of the series. Sisko was genuinely a good father.

Yes!

Sometimes people think best episode is an opinion, to each their own kinda thing. Usually they right about that but...

DS9 however has a right answer. Big smile

Tribbles are also awesome.

Edit: Aww you went with The Visitor. I guess it is less gimmicky, but what a gimmick. I haven't seen the Visitor for a while.

Like I said there are SO MANY!

There is a reason I consider it the best Trek by a mile. To think I found it boring as a kid.

DS9 by a long shot.

It was one of the first TV series that took a cue from "Twin Peaks" and was put together cinematically instead of just being shot like standard front-lit television. The character arcs are grand and believable.

The close relationship between Sisco and Jake is probably due to their having been literally next door neighbors since the day Cirroc Lofton was born. Avery Brooks was close to their family and had basically already been a surrogate father to Cirroc his whole life at that point. They didn't even have to act.

I always forget the episode name, but the one with Jake and Sisko on the old Bajoran ship that used sails to achieve warp speed to Cardassia.

This one!

I love how Sisko doesn't buy it and Dukat isn't even going to pretend or feign. He is like, sigh just go with it.

TNG by a large margin. My favourite episode was The Inner Light.

DS9 > TNG >= Voy > Ent > TOS

Yes, objectively, with no "era//age adjustments", I place TOS on an even lower rung than Enterprise.
I dare you to disagree with that.
