Yeah, it sounds pretty good although I can't remember how the pilots were like (I've only seen POI and Heroes).

I'm working my way through Season 1 right now, on Netflix. I really like the writing but the costumes - especially for aliens - are bugging me. I wish they'd stuck with the TOS-style alien makeup so the actors could still actually act.

DS9, far too low.

I think it's much more informative to rank the show/series combinations.
1) DS9 series 6
2) DS9 series 5
3) Enterprise series 4
...
etc.

Let's be honest, Enterprise was better than all of Voyager. And as above, series 4 of Enterprise was actually pretty great.
This man knows the truth.
Thanks for posting my rankings.
4/5 Star Trek series have lame final episodes. It's too bad that DS9 doesn't live up to All Good things, but then, not much else does.
Yeah, this. I haven't seen Enterprise yet, but I find it hard to believe that it is going to be worse than Voyager.
I've only seen all of ENT s4 and VOY through most of s3, plus random stuff on TV, but ENT is better than VOY based on that alone.

ENT S4 is a significant step up from the first 3 seasons so...

Based on my preference and not necesarily quality:
TNG-TOS-DS9-ENT-VOY
But based on quality, my list has TNG always at the top and VOY always at the bottom. I do love Picardo's Doctor, though. For me he's the sparkling diamond resting in a pile of shit.
I think the only thing he's directed that I've watched is the pilot episode of Heroes. Not enough for me to have an opinion, but I remember that the first season of Heroes was really good right from the start so hey, it's something.

We rating the series?
For me the best series is The Next Generation followed by Voyager. I really didn't like Deep Space Nine at all, though I didn't watch every season. Really didn't care for Enterprise or the older series.

DS9 doesn't get good until the buildup to the Dominion War starts in earnest. Voyager gets really good after the Kazon and Seska fuck off and die. Enterprise gets good with the Xindi arc and stays good until the final episode (I also loved the concept of the Temporal Cold War). TNG is hit or miss the entire way through, it doesn't have stretches of consistently good or bad episodes. TOS has a handful of fantastic episodes but most are '60s jank.
Series 3 of Enterprise was pretty good too. In fact, I'd say that at no point does Enterprise really stray into "bad" for too long, unlike Voyager which spent most of its life there... Though Series 1 and 2 do spend an awful lot of time in "mediocre".

Sometimes mediocre is worse than bad though. I think ENT's highs are definitely higher than VOY but the show kind of ended just as it was finally getting its groove. The first two seasons were a struggle to get through and just plain boring most of the time. Voyager had some pretty bad periods but it also wasn't uniformly bad. The truly bad stuff like the Warp 10 episode we can all laugh at and get something out of it. However, there are pretty great parts to Voyager as well, even if it's lesser than TNG and DS9.

IMO Voyager never got "really good". I think the show totally had some great episodes but I dont think they ever had any longer story / character arcs I enjoyed. It could be great one week and trash the next. It never had a good flow.
TNG is kind of the same but outside of S1-2 I think its average episode was much better and it reached higher highs.
Enterprise is Enterprise. We know the story. Only really found a good balance right as it was being cancelled.
DS9 I think is a better show for todays viewing habits. Longer arcs. Actually character development. More mature subject matters. It has its rough patches for sure. It has its problems early on like every Trek show does but it got over them by late S2.
I just never liked TOS. Too campy for me. I totally see why the classic episodes are loved but I just dont really like the show that much.

R. If I was binging trek every night for a few months I would rewatch DS9. If I was binging trek for a weekend I would watch the best episodes of TNG.Poodlestrike

The very best episode of DS9 hit in the very first season (Duet). It got better after the Dominion War starts getting real, but it started out very very good.

I'd go ds9, tng, voy, tos, ent.
Voyager only that high due to nostalgia and I find tos boring really.

There's a lot of good to it. It just never really hit its potential.

If you go into it knowing what to expect you can have some fun. Don't expect it to be a good show, but you can expect it to be an entertaining one.
I really enjoyed season 3 of Enterprise. It was actually much better than season 4, I thought, since they rushed through so much stuff to try to turn it into the prequel series that everyone thought it should be.

Main 50th Anniversary panel is going on now at SDCC. There should be some announcements about the new series, right?

Voyager is straight up garbage. One of the worst shows I've ever seen.

Is anywhere streaming this? Hopefully casting is ready at least.

So it's serialized, I guess?

Panel is almost over, maybe no news after all? They have to announce details soon if it starts filming in September, at least.
