Welcome to Gaia! ::

I'll have to be like everyone else and say the next generation. It had enough drama, comedy and great sci-fi writing to keep me engrossed. The characters and the great actors who played them made me love it.

I really enjoyed Deep Space Nine as well. It's a close second to TNG. It had great writing and good actors, just not quite as many compelling personalities as the next generation had though.

The original series had some solid story writing, but it was a little too campy to take completely seriously. Which isn't of course to say I don't still like it. I do and I've got an awful crush on Leonard Nimoy as Spock.

I could stand Voyager mostly due to the actress who played Cpt. Janeway. She annoyed the crap out of me which really turned me off of the series.

I've seen one episode of enterprise and just wasn't interested. I like Scott bakula (or at least I did in quantum leap) but, he just doesn't work as a captain for me.

How did I forget to mention Patrick Stewart? He did really make a lot of the show. To be fair though almost all the actors on TNG were pretty great.

You make a lot of good points. The original really did change the face of TV in a lot of ways.

I remember watching the original in reruns with my grandma when I was younger. I think that may be part of the reason I have trouble taking it seriously (though the Campiness can't be denied no matter what the circumstances), it was kind of like a kids show for me.
