I know it’s an overused question in a lot of places, but it hasn’t been asked here in quite a while. I’m curious to see what the preferred Star Trek shows are in the group here. Whether you want to just list your favorite show, do a complete ranking of all the shows, or something in between, I’m interested to know!
This is my current top five show list:
- Deep Space Nine
- Star Trek
- Strange New Worlds
- The Next Generation
- Lower Decks
It gets difficult for me to rank past that point, so I usually stop there.
I need to watch some Orville sometime, I’ve heard it’s pretty good. The 90’s era Treks are always a solid choice. Did you try any of Strange New Worlds? It’s got a completely different vibe than the other new shows, and I like the crew.
I haven’t, I’ve heard good things, I just haven’t gotten around to watching it yet!
Edit: also, when it comes to the Orville, keep in mind that it starts out as a parody and gets more serious overtime. However, the Orville has 100% more female country music star cameos than star trek. That makes it better.
I know that feeling well!
I did hear that it transitioned to more of a drama part way through, so I’ll keep that it mind when I get to watching it. Yes, hearing that Dolly was on a science fiction show was not on the list of things I expected to happen! I was raised around country but as I got older I began to prefer jazz, so I have to balance 90’s Trek’s love of jazz against that now.
