TNG is Star Trek fully realized, the franchise reached its zenith there.
It had everything you want in Star Trek:
- Feeling of adeventure
- Awesome cast with distinct personalities and the chemistry between everyone is amazing
- Some of the best written sci-fi tv (inner light)
- The Borg were actually a threat.
- The campiness of TOS was toned down massively specially after season 2, there's a bigger emphasis on human drama
- Jean-luc Picard
DS9 is good, but nowhere near close to TNG. After TNG there's no other choice but to go down, which is exactly what happened to the franchise.
I enjoyed Abrams Trek for what they are, but to me Star Trek is TNG.
