In what possible way was Wesley better than Jake? Wesley was a whinny little brat who endangered the ship reguarly. Jake wasn't a little yes man, he did what he wanted, and wasnt pressured into starfleet. Jake went through a whole lot in 7 years, becomming friends with Nog, getting his dad a wife. Then there was the "red badge of courage" knock off episode where he is ont eh front lines durring the war. Then there was the episode wehre Sisko is lost in sub space and Jake spends his whole life trying to get him back.
EDIT: Ahh dax, someone needs to find the pictures from Dax's 2nd best (visual) episode, and another episode that shows why DS9 rules over other trek.
Dax in TOS mini skirt in Trials and Tribbleations.

TNG, especailly from 1990-1994.
I always wondered if Marina Sirtis (Deanna Troi) got breast implants or breat augmentation.
Also I haven't really followed Enterprise, but what's up with Jolene Blalock? She's apparently been ripping the producers (Berman and co) for making a medicore show and she showed up on the Late, Late Show on CBS and was drunk or something.
I dunno I haven't seen it. There's also rumors that she's anoerxic or something. She's gorgeous though.
What about Famke Janssen (GoldenEye, X-Men) in ST: TNG when she plays that character that causes all the men (and some women too I think) to get turned on? Worf's "growl" to her was :lol
Maxim should do a "Women of Star Trek" issue, even if only us nerds would check it out.

TNG was a great series, and DS9 had its moments, but I think Star Trek coujld have been so much more.

My "order" would be TNG, TOS, DS9 and then .... Enterprise, Voyager
Enterprise and Voyager both rely a lot on T&A, but since I prefer Jolene Blalock over Jeri Ryan I got with Enterprise, even though both are a bit dull.

Before I begin, let it be known that *EVERY* Star Trek series is inherently crappy for the first three seasons. Period. I wish it weren't true, but it is. Once the actors get comfortable with their characters and the writers build enough back story, these series typically get good.
MY ALL TIME FAVORITE:
Star Trek: Deep Space Nine
Best developed characters. Best relationships. This series showed us that the Federation was not perfect. It had its flaws.. its darker side. The Maquee, the treaty with the Cardassians, Section 31.. just a taste of how this series turned Starfleet's "utopian" society on its ear. And then there's the series' crowning achievement... the war with the Dominion. Painstakingly drawn out over multiple seasons, it is the single greatest story arc ever to come out of the franchise. The battles, the death, the loss and the victory. Lead characters died. New ones were added. The ferengi, changelings, Jem Hedar and other unique species were deeply explored. And let there be no doubt that Gul Dukat is the greatest villan of all of Star Trekdom.
SECOND FAVORITES:
Star Trek: The Next Generation
Great characters, though not as many of them grew (Dr. Crusher, Geordi for example). Some good story arcs, but only a handful of events that had long-lasting changes. There's too much to like about this series to say but I don't consider it better than DS9.
Star Trek: Voyager
Okay, everyone is quick to diss Voyager but like I said... give it a few seasons and it gets better. Most all of the characters were given room to change and grow. There were some real stinker episodes mixed in this series but there were also long, well done story arcs and a real sense of continuity.. maybe more than even Next Generation (but not as much as DS9). Give this series a chance. The characters really grew on me.
I WANT TO LIKE:
Star Trek: Enterprise
So far, nothing remarkable. I dig time travel stories but even in it's early life this show has already dug that ditch too deep. I like the "pre-history" aspect and some of the characters like Trip are fun but most are bland. The actor who play's Archer gives the captain such a stiff delivery. I'll give it more time to mature.
I TOTALLY DISPISE:
Star Trek: The Original Series
I used to watch this after school when it was in syndication on one of the local TV stations. While I never really "liked" it, it was at least science fiction and better than any other garbage on TV at that hour. Now, when I look back at how bad this series is... so pretentious, so annoyingly bad acted, so rediculous in nature I can't stand it. Die hard fans can suck it, the Next Generation series blew this crap out of the water.

If Manny Coto had produced the show from the start then Enterprise would run the chance of being one of the best ever...sadly no matter how cool season 4 is...and so far it's shitted all over Berman's 1-3 easily....it's looking like the 4th will be the final. Fuck you Berman! Fuck you Paramount!

TNG absolutely.

I was actually going to write that that episode was a damn good one. Wesley went from a precocious gifted kid, to a trusted and intergrel part of the crew as acting ensign, to a StarFleet cadet to realizing that he had a greater power and going off on his own. Outside of the early episodes Wesely was never "whinny." That's just shit people have decided to hang on him because they don't like him. Jake had no freaking point other than being the "Capatins son." The whole I'm a writer thing was crap. The red badge of courage rip of was hilarious, as well as any episode with either him and Nog or Nig trying to be a StarFleet officer, such as the one where he got his leg shot off, might be the same one I already mentioned.
