Welcome to a Star Trek community where you’re free to chat and share your opinions about all things Trek!

I want to have a place where fans can come to praise, discuss, and even criticise things in the Star Trek franchise. No show or movie is perfect, and I don't believe people should be silenced for having a dissenting opinion. That being said, there are still a few rules.

Be Nice - No personal attacks. You can disagree with someone's opinion, but it needs to stop there.

No Slurs - This is applicable to ethnicity, religion, gender, or anything else.

No Adult Content - Keep it family friendly.

No Spamming or Trolling - Consistently spamming comments or trolling is just not needed.

Please keep topics Trek related or Trek adjacent for the most part, and have fun!

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.
