OK, yeah, I spent New Year's weekend binging the current nine episodes of Star Trek Discovery. I have watched all of the series, the movies based on The Original Series (TOS) of Star Trek, and two of the JJ Abrams movies. I was a kid when I watched TOS, so whatever, of course I liked it. TNG wasn't my favorite.
And at the end of this post, read my biggest beef about the Klingon's appearance.
Worf From TNG and DS9:
What's My Favorite of the Completed Star Trek Offerings?
So far, my favorite complete series was DS9, which is a controversial choice. In my opinion, it has aged better than any of the other series. I find that younger adults who start watching series tend to like DS9 the best, so that sort of confirms my opinion. I guess I'd pick Voyager second, but I liked ST Enterprise more than most people did. TNG had its ups and downs, and TOS is what it is.
So, you're welcome and free to disagree, but I'd probably rank the completed Star Trek offerings like this:
- Deep Space Nine
- Voyager
- Original Series Movies / Enterprise
- TOS and TNG
- Abrams Movies (Yeah, sorry. I'm just not onboard for this alternative timeline.)
What's Up With Star Trek Discovery?
Star Trek Discovery Klingons:
I like it! I think the acting is strong and the plot holes may be filled in later. There have only been nine episodes. It irks me to pay $5.99 a month for one TV show with TONS of commercials, but it's really not fair to hold that against the show.
The Klingons are driving me crazy. They aren't just subtly different than the TOS or TNG Klingons. They look more like those bad guys from Farscape to me. By the way, if you've never watched Farscape, you might be in for a treat!
Klingons From The Original Star Trek Series:
I mean, these guys don't look like they're from different races. They look like different species. What's up with that? I'm sure some of you will know!
