The further away they got from the original design, the less I liked it.
TNG Enterprise wasn't too bad- it WAS a Galaxy class after all, not meant to be a Constitution class...
But I'd take the JJ AbramsPrise over the mess they gave us in the NG movies!!!!!! OR Voyager, for that matter!

My fave ST ship is actually Ent-A or the Refit version and find it hard to pick between them but I usually plump for Ent-A. It broke my heart when they detroyed the Refit in ST-III. These would be followed by the TOS Enterprise.
As for Ent-D it's just too 'bulbous' in the saucer. I know shape doesn't matter in space but it's like two people designed. One did the rear section and decided to squash the original and make it curved. The other designer did the saucer and decided bigger was better and then they glued the bits together.
I thought Ent-E was okay, Ent-B was okay-ish but I was never a fan of the Excelsior class. Voyager was bearable and I liked the Defiant from DS9 but that's not really a fair for comparison.
The other ST ship I really liked was Reliant. I thought it was kinda cool looking for a relatively small ship. But Ent-C has to take the Golden Raspberry award for worst looking Federation ship.

It still gets me now after many repeated viewings. Out of all of the ships she was the most....human.

I probably would of cried if I didn't go into shock when it happened...
Then I thought "Holy crap...don't fuck with Kirk."

This conversation is illogical, because TNG could not have existed without TOS.
TNG pros:
Data on a good day
TNG cons:
Data on a bad day
1980s corporate buzzword-compliant political correctness
We're seeking out and exploring strange new worlds, new life, new civilizations... so lets boldly go and have an adventure on the holodeck!
Patrick Stewart is French!?

Even tho I'm a huge Patrick Stewart fan I've got to go with TOS, better storys and less CGI. The storys for the last couple of season of TNG were kinda lame or ripoffs of TOS.

It was a great idea but they fucked it up from the pilot!

In this whole thread, the only mention of Spock has been in relation to *gag* "Spock's Brain"!

Nimoy's my main reason for watching TOS repeatedly (Seasons 1&2 anyway)! His performance gave the show a gravitas it otherwise wouldn't have if they'd gone with another actor.
Also, his reactions to "illogical" things were simply priceless...

If we're going for favorite trek ship it's gotta be the Defiant. That little thing was a beast. Exploration pssh. Battle is where it's at.
