I agree with Stardust "Kirk, Spock and McCoy"

Can't beat the brilliance of the original series with it's often hammy acting, cardboard quality props and 60s special effects.

The above were outstanding and will never be beaten

However, Plain Simple Garak makes a good fist of it

I think that Kirk is the best by far, he may not have sexy tits, although he now has moobs (man boobs)

He is the sort of person you would want as a boss, he has no regard for the rules, so if you mess about, you can say "but you did it last week sir".

He hates the uniforms, that is why he keep shredding his, (if he had his way, he would ban them all toegher).

But he gets his hand dirty, if an alien needs to be killed in hand to hand combat, kirk is there, picard gets riker or worf to do it, sisko lets kira smack them and janeway unleashes her borg. need I say more?

My wife might read these posts, so I couldn't go with Thunderchero's choices anyway

I find it less easy to automatically rate Kirk above Spock and McCoy. Some of Spock and McCoy's exchanges are priceless. Also the dry way in which Spock delivers his humour (he is half human after all) is untouchable.

Anyway, I'm glad to see that The Original Series is still viewed with affection. I remember watching it as a kid when it was first aired in the UK and have been in love with the Star Trek universe ever since (yes I know it's not real, or is it?)

Sorry, but I am not that old (lol)
I remember watching the re-runs on BBC 2 after Neighbours, but it is still my favourite.

It is very much seat of your pants technology, but unlike Enterprise, they don't try to explain how things work, you simply press a button and it does, if it doen't, you call scotty, exploration need not be complicated.

It's interesting that often the ST show that people grew up watching is their favourite.

As in people born before the 80's seem to prefer TOS, in the 80's TNG, late 80's/early 90's DS9 with Voyager being a little bit here and there

For me, being born in the 80's, I used to watch TNG when I was at school. The character of Picard was a role mode to me, so TNG will always be my favourite.

Anyone else fit into this hypothesis of decade born/favourite show?

RSE_Chris

I'm sure your hypothesis is absolutely correct but your wrong!

WRONG! WRONG! WRONG!

TOS is best whatever anyone thinks and anyone who doesn't agree just doesn't get it!

RSE_Chris: Well I won't speak for anyone else, but I know that at least I would fit that theory pretty well.

I was 10 when TNG premiered, and it remains my favorite Trek series to this day, with DS9 being a very close second. TOS is a somewhat distant third, Voyager an even more distant fourth, and Enterprise is (of course) dead last.

I don't think Enterprise is that bad (although it's hard not to see Scott Bakula in Quantum Leap or a very obscure animation called Cats Don't Dance where he stars as the lead character)

You already know my favourite and I was about 8 yrs old when it first aired in UK (TOS that is)

DS9 comes next as I think it's really gritty at times with excellent characters. Garak is my favourite character outside of TOS.

Voyager is a very distant last and I would very much like to poke Janeway, Paris and Tuvok in the eyes (in fact most of the cast, come to think of it)

Third place is a tie between Next Gen & Enterprise. For some reason Next Gen never really floated my boat. Maybe it's because it followed TOS and I was still really annoyed that TOS had been canned.

Plus, I'd also like to poke Riker in the eyes!

BTW, I'm not really violent!

weyoun, such a smug jerk.

Yeah, i too grew up at the time when the Beeb was crawling with St re-runs. They had just started the Re-run for Next gen, they had DS9 coming fresh from the States and they did the second half of TOS...still havent seen a lot of the episodes but i have at least seen the Doomsday Device one

And then later on came Voyager which was different. And then Channel 4 got Enterprise and shoved adverts all through it

As an adult I can enjoy the stories on TOS. I have to ignore the acting.

Post by **Pigman** » Thu Jul 24, 2008 7:58 pm

For the most part the stories were brilliant

Sometimes the acting makes you cringe, but I'm certain that it was all filmed tongue in cheek

TOS "Long live and prosper"
