Which Trek series is YOUR FAVORITE.

I'm an Originalist, so Classic Trek for me. There are bits and pieces from all the iterations I enjoyed, but Next Generation became too soap opera-y for me at the end. Deep Space 9 had a frontier town aesthetic to me that I liked, but the stories were more about the characters, not really the science. Voyager felt like Trek was trying to recapture the classic years, and Enterprise wasn't given much of a chance in my opinion. There were characters in that show I was starting to get attached to. Discovery I never watched. I think it is only on streaming? Ditto for Strange New Worlds, which is a shame because I think they were again trying to reboot the franchise. I was onboard for adventures with the pre-Kirk Enterprise until it was put on Paramount+ only.
Wow. Sorry for being so wordy. I guess I was more passionate about it than even I realised.
PS I will look into getting the Witcher book/s. I need new reading material.

Hangman005, I owned ALL the Dirk Pitt novels! LOVED them so much. Unfortunately, I just can't get into his kids...

MY FAVORITE IS DS9, BECAUSE IT SHOWS THE MOST THAT TO LIVE IN PARADISE YOU MUST FIGHT TO PRESERVE IT. OG IS OG THOUGH.

"On Earth, there is no poverty, no crime, no war. You look out the window of Starfleet Headquarters and you see paradise. Well, it's easy to be a saint in paradise, but the Maquis do not live in paradise. Out there in the Demilitarized Zone, all the problems haven't been solved yet. Out there, there are no saints — just people. Angry, scared, determined people who are going to do whatever it takes to survive, whether it meets with Federation approval or not!"

Palmerston North is like the Winnipeg of New Zealand, just without the fun of being able to freeze to death.
