29 Days of Star Trek Meme: Day 1

Saw this meme, thought I’d give it a go – been a bit slack about posting to LJ recently, so something to give me incentive to post every day for a while seemed like a good idea.

1 - Which Star Trek is your favorite?

This is a tough question, it’s down to either Next Generation or Voyager. The Original Series is fun, but sometimes cringing dated, and Deep Space Nine, while it had its moments, never really grabbed me to the same degree as the other series. And Enterprise… honestly, I tend to forget it even existed, which says all that can be said about the impact it had on me.

If I had to pick one, I’d probably end up coming down on the side of Voyager. Next Generation has an incredibly weak first two seasons, and its last season had far more misses than hits. Voyager certainly wasn’t perfect, but if I pull up a random episode, I find I’ve got a better chance of finding something I’ll enjoy than not.

Admittedly, though, when the Next Generation is going strong, then it’s no contest – none of the other series can match it at its best. But there is a limit to how many times one can watch “The Drumhead” or “Darmok”…

Fortunately, I have the full series of both on DVD, so there's never any reason for me to choose.
