I really liked what DS9 added to the Trekverse; the understanding that the Federation is not perfect. . . but that it is a damn sight better than any alternative. Ironically, by showing the Federation's flaws, it made it even more clear why it's worth fighting for.

Hello Chrisisall:

I just finished watching SG1 and got into Star Trek Enterprise. I find myself addicted. Watched three episodes in a row and a total of nine this week. Fortunately I have thrown Brisco County Jr. in there to break away from it, even for just an hour.

The true test is the third season. I was not happy with it and it caused me to stop watching and I hear that I missed a great fourth season of Enterprise. So I will catch it this time around.

Protip: avoid "These Are The Voyages. . ." and use the "Terra Prime" two-parter as the finale.

TATV is mediocre and out of continuity, while Terra Prime is dramatic, emotional, and cuts to the point of what Star Trek has always been (and always will be) about.

In a room I guessin' is mostly of the masculine, I will stand up for Star Trek for Gals...I watched Voyager well after it was over back when they first started runnin' it on Spike. It helped me get through some rough days. Never wanted to start watchin' it- then couldn't stop. Hated Kess, loved Jeri Ryan. It made me realize wasn't no one gonna save me but me and some days you just gotta stand up and be the hated bitch, and even learn to relish the role...Thank you Cap'n Janeway, for giving me a way to deal with family!

Also, thought it'd be cool to have a Janeway appearance in the FF 'verse, Suck-it-up Captains, and what not?....

Hello,

I respectfully submit that Kira Nerys beat Janeway all to hell. Janeway was not even the most effective and admirable female on her own ship.

However, if the character helped you or inspired you, that is a remarkable and special thing.

Yeah, I agree, 7of9 could kick both their asses, and mine, too. I'm strait, but d@mn- I'd think it over for her

Seven also tended to get all the best "deadpan snarker" lines.

I was always partial to DS9, that is until Voyager came along. Although, at times, Kate Mulgrew would be annoying as hell as Captain Janeway. My fav character was Harry Kim. My fav eye-candy was 7of9 (no-brainer).

But I really liked the mythology of DS9 (I'm a sucker for those types of sci-fi. It's why I liked Star Wars so much).

So, my vote: Voyager, then DS9.

Hey Chris, I agree about the new ST. Abrams missed the mark, although I liked how he treated the intros of each character. Not so much for the Romulan storyline. Scotty was awesome, Nimoy was epic. I liked the choice of Chris Pine for Kirk and the Heroes dude for Spock. And Zoe Saldana, how hot is she? First ST and then Avatar. She's on a roll, not to mention she's a babe.

Sorry about the stream-of-consciousness ramblings.
