[vorticon]

hmm, well...

1. star trek
2. voyager
3. tng
4/5??? ds9 and enterprise, both equally crappy.

DS-9...The Space Truck Stop (complete with hookers). No wonder they had to completely rewrite the series toward the end.

Original series, second episode where Kirk chases the Romulans through the comet tail and into the Neutral Zone.  The Romulans fire some super weapon photon plasma glob at the Enterprise, and Kirk backs up in Warp 9.  "It looks like it has a range Captain," says Sulu.

There was another episode where the Enterprise sustained full phasers on a Greek temple and melted it.  That was cool looking.

They had to re-write it because it was boring...hell even the big Dominion war couldn't save that show.

Since I wasn't alive when Star Trek was on, I never became a big fan of the series.  Because of this I can't get it out of my head that the show has bad special effects and numerous continuity problems.  So I'll abstain from putting Star Trek in my list since I judge it unfairly.

1. TNG - Best episode(s) tied between Best of Both Worlds 1 & 2 or Yesterday’s Enterprise.
2.  Voyager - Scorpion was a good one, or the series finale.  I always like an episode dealing with time.
3.  Enterprise - Now that they've gotten into a continuous story, I really like the show.  No episodes stand out though as I think they're pretty consistent.  Can't wait for the new season though, they may of come up with one of the best cliff hangers.
4.  DS9 - While they had some very good episodes, I think they had too many stupid ones.  Although I still watch them on Spike TV.  The show really picked up with the war that lasted the last 2 seasons.

In a toss up between Stargate SG1 and Enterprise I would have to pick SG1.  Best thing Sci-Fi channel ever did was pick up SG1 from Showtime.  Atlantis I think has promise and I'm warming up to the characters and the setting.  Can't wait for Sci-Fi to get Battlestar Galactica going again in a few months.  The miniseries was great and I would assume so would the series.  When Sci-Fi wants to do something well, they seem to be able to pull it off.

TNG - "Clues" Enterprise bumps into a world that wishes to be left alone. The crew wake up missing a day and Data has to sidestep every question that Picard asks and they think he's malfunctioning.

Star Trek - "A Taste of Armageddon" A 500 year old war between two planets has become so trivial that its computer generated casualties walk willingly into disintigration facilities. The Enterprise and crew are tagged as casualties and Kirk teaches these planets what real war is about.

The other shows are just soap operas. Never could get interested enough to keep up with the stories.

IMO the addition of the Borg species revitalized the Star Trek franchise.

#3: Enterprise, although the whole Xindi thing departs a bit too much from the Star Trek formula. (DNML: The whole arch from the end of the 3rd season)
#4: Voyager (DNML: Anything from the 5th to 7th season, along with a couple of episodes from season 2, one of them being "Death Wish")
#5: Deep Space Nine, not enough thought inspiring for my taste. Lots of action and battles, not enough issues IMHO.

Dan the TNG, TOS, Voyager eps (except I didn't really rate Death Wish) are all what I'd considered as my all time favs...I'd add:

TOS: Let That Be Your Last Battlefield, This Side of Paradise,  Mirror Mirror
TNG: Chain of Command pts. 1&2 (second best behind Inner Light),  Descent pt 1.,  Cause and Effect, Deja Q, Yesterday's Enterprise
Voyager: Prototype, Meld, Tuvix

Everything that has anything to do with Star Trek sucks.

Ooh aaah of course, I forgot about those: Chain of Command (There are four lights!!!) I like only because of the interrogation scenes, and Cause and Effect because it's superbly done. Deja Q was funny as hell: "It's hard to work in groups when you are omnipotent"

Tuvix was a good "issue" episode (I would have made Tuvix a bit more lovable), and Meld was good because of Brad Dourif. Prototype was a bit too predictable, and the robots were about to explode because of an overload of stereotyping.

The episode from Season 2 of Voyager I was meaning to add was "The Thaw". Wonderful speech from Janeway at the end and a couple of sentences from the doctor that made me laugh out loud:

How am I supposed to negotiate if I don't know what you're thinking?!" - Fear
"I have a very trustworthy face." - EMH

Voyager - dunno what season or title but the Doctor has to hide from anti-hologram aliens in Sevens body then quickly pigs out, gets drunk and has a quick snog - class!

DS9 - Trouble with Tribbles. Worf has to explain why Klingons in the past looked so different i.e. before ultra laytex effects 'It's a long story, dont ask'

Sure Prototype wasn't breaking any new ground...but I really liked it, and your right season 2 was a real killer for Voyager

David Warner and Patrick Stewart were excellent in Chain of Command (and Ronny Cox)

In my opinion "Firefly" kicked the living crap out of anything out there past or present.  Except maybe "Babylon 5", of which I have have heard good things.

The Original series where Kirk has to fight the Gorn on the planet....

He builds a primitive cannon and defeats the Gorn leader......

this episode has it all; space battle, Spock analysis, Bones yapping, Kirk patented karate chop to the back of the neck, the whole shabang....

The Khan episode and the later Wrath of Khan movie were some excellent science fiction..

Notable Khan qoutes:

"I've done far worse than kill you, Admiral. I've hurt you. And I wish to go on hurting you. I shall leave you as you left me, as you left her: marooned for all eternity in the center of a dead planet, buried alive. Buried alive."  (my personal favorite..)

"Ah Kirk, my old friend. Do you know the Klingon proverb that tells us revenge is a dish that is best served cold? It is very cold in space."

"To the last, I will grapple with thee."

 "From hell's heart, I stab at thee. For hate's sake, I spit my last breath at thee." (Moby Dick)

 "I'll chase him 'round the moons of Nibia and 'round the Antares Maelstrom and 'round perdition's flames before I give him up!"

I think Khan doesn't like Kirk very much.
