Interesting. I know TOS is popular and was groundbreaking when it came out, but first in the user score list of all time? That surprised me.

I guess I am an outlier here. I think TOS is the worst. Sexist, poorly written, inconsistent vision, campy. I really don’t get the appeal of it and I’ve watched it twice through. I’m grateful it caught on because we got much much better series after.

Here are my rankings:

1. DS9
2. TNG (skip seasons 1-2 😇)
3. VOY
4. LD
5. SNW
6. ENT
7. Prodigy
8. Disco
9. Picard
10. TAS
11. TOS

After #7, I stop recommending the show to others.

I think to enjoy TOS you have to put on your 1960’s goggles and remember it wasn’t really considered sexist at the time. The line “I just can’t get used to a woman on the bridge” from The Cage may be considered unacceptable today but not then. Also most shows from that time were campy af. Remember Batman?

Considering the small budget NBC gave them to work with they got a lot of show out of it.

I hear you about TOS—just not an enjoyable experience for me.

You’re right about early TNG. If someone didn’t watch Haven 1x11 they would miss out on the intro to Lwaxana.
