  1. I definitely say no, it isn't the weakest series. DS9 is the only Trek series I've had trouble getting into. I tried when it originally aired but gave up because I found it boring. From my perspective, I would consider DS9 the weakest series.
    I challenge you with the same Challenge I've given others in the past, like Dark Reality and Mandy... and a few others.

     

    Watch DS9 from the first episode all the way through the final episode, then judge it.

     

    Once you've watched every single episode then let us know what you think. Personally, I've watched every episode of all 5 series (all 6 series if you include TAS).

     

    I'm sticking with my initial ranking (Strongest to weakest):

     

    DS9

    TOS

    TNG

    ENT

    VOY


  2. After Jaison was voted out of Survivor 19 (last season) he was at Ponderosa and being interviewed and they asked him what he was going to do now, he said he was going to go watch Star Trek (He had the DVD of the new movie in his hand as he spoke).

     

    Another reference was also from last year, an episode of CSI (Vegas) where bodies were found to have green blood. Of course there were references to Star Trek there lol. Not the first time for CSI to use references to Star Trek though.


  3. It was surprising at the time that, in contrast to TOS, TNG started slow and then really improved with the third season. I agree that the first few eps weren't that compelling. Naked Now seemed too soon to have a spin off ep of TOS, Code of Honor was OK, and the Ferengi in The Last Outpost were lame. Season 1 had it's moments with Battle, Hide & Q, DataLore, The Big Goodbye and Heart of Glory.

     

    Season 2 had great eps in Emisary, Matter of Honor, Measure of a Man and Q Who, but was hurt as I recall by the writers strike and the need to do bottle shows like the awful Shades of Gray.

     

    Season 3 got going with Booby Trap, Deja Q, then hit it's stride with Yesterday's Enterprise, Sin's of the Father, Hollow Pursuits, and hit warp speed with Sarek and Best of Both World's Part I - one of the best cliff hanger season ending eps EVER imo.

    Yeah, Armin Shimerman always regretted his performance in The Last Outpost and was grateful that he got to be Quark so he could do right by the Ferengi lol
