All the Star Trek series would have been improved with funky purple hair.

I love the next Generation for it's mythic quality, it is now a genuine classic. To me, TOS and TNG are both true Trek. Deep Space Nine is my personal favourite. I think it was one of the best tv shows ever made. But it wasn't very Star trek, it stamped out it's own identity. Voyager and Enterprise were enjoyable diversions, but never felt like true Star Trek. IMO they lacked the quality and substance of the previous shows.
I haven't seen the JJ Abrahms film yet. I hesitate to judge it before watching, but I can't help it. It looks awaful. Much too Hollywood. Everything I hear about it makes me cringe. Even when people are singing it's praises (as most people do) the details they praise just sound dreadful to me. I'm like, 'you think that's one of its good points?'. I will give it a chance eventually.
But it's got that $*(&*% from Heroes in it as Spock

It was pretty good, although some consider it Trek on meth.

Hello,

I enjoyed DS9, although many people barely consider it Trek because it was not true to the ideals of the Great Bird.

Still, the characters were more layered and complex on DS9 than in any other version of Trek. The stories had room for gray areas much of the time. Conflicts were allowed to happen between main characters, and story heroes were allowed to be less than perfect and even make villainous choices from time to time. It was the most adult of the Treks, in my opinion.

Maybe it was merely all that nudity...

Hello,

Heh. Very little nudity, though we did learn that the spots go all the way down.

My affection for DS9 can be boiled down to an episode where the series hero colludes with dark forces to create a lie designed to maneuver a neutral government into war. Then, when that fails, is involved in an assassination of a foreign dignitary in order to salvage the deception and the mission.

If that doesn't sound like Trek, I agree. It was refreshing to see the What If. "What If human beings were still human beings in the Trek universe?"

The answer is: The stories become much more interesting and dynamic.
