Stare At The Sun

I want that.

TNG is the best, best actors, best villans, best char progression, etc.

Alright....I've recently acquired all 7 seasons of TNG and DS9 and I'm working on Voyager. In a year or two I'll come back and let you know which I think is best after I've officially seen every episode of each I've already seen maybe 85% of TOS and TNG. The only way I'll change my mind about TNG being best is if Voyager or DS9 REALLY impress me. I doubt they will though - the acting and production value of TNG is top notch. It's the only Trek series that got me to actually CARE about the characters - a perfect blend of Sci-Fi (the part TOS did great) and drama.

This man speaks the truth.

see:
The Man Trap
The Enterprise arrives at planet M-113 to deliver supplies to Dr. Robert Crater and his wife, Nancy, with whom McCoy was once romantically involved...(Fantastic thriller! "I've got SALT, Nancy...")

The Galileo Seven
On its way to deliver medical supplies to plague-ridden Hansen's Planet, the Enterprise passes Murasake 312. McCoy, Spock, Scott and four crewmen take a shuttlecraft, the Galileo, for a closer look. (Spock in charge as monsters attack)

The Menagerie, Part I, The Menagerie, Part II
The Enterprise and her crew are diverted by a signal from the former captain of the Enterprise on Starbase 6, and proceed to the call. (The terrifying 'Brainiacs'!!)

Arena
The Enterprise is in pursuit of an unknown alien ship which has destroyed a Starfleet base on Cestus III. In an uncharted area of space, both the alien ship and the Enterprise are caught by an advanced race called Metrons. (Kirk battles the Gorn)

A Taste of Armageddon
The Enterprise is ordered to pick up Ambassador Robert Fox, who is headed to planet Eminiar VII on a diplomatic mission. Upon arriving at the planet, the ship is warned away. (Warfare enitirely via computers, foreshadowing of the future?)

The Devil in the Dark
The Enterprise arrives to investigate reports of an unknown monster deep in the mining tunnels of Janus VI. The being is apparently destroying machinery and killing the miners, and has the ability to burrow through solid rock. (Brilliant, suspenseful...)

Errand of Mercy
Kirk and Spock beam down to the surface of planet Organia to negotiate for the erection of a Federation base. Hostilities between the Klingon Empire and Federation have reached alarming heights and it is feared that the medieval culture of the Organians will not be able to withstand a Klingon attack. (Klingon classic)

Amok Time
When Spock begins to exhibit strange, erratic behavior, Kirk asks McCoy to conduct a medical examination. McCoy concludes that Spock is experiencing a potentially lethal internal distress. (Kirk battles in-heat Spock on Vulcan)

The Deadly Years
The Enterprise stops to deliver supplies to the colonists of Gamma Hydra IV. They find that accelerated aging has taken place, killing most of the colonists. (Brilliant, funny acting, drama)

Mirror, Mirror
Scotty beams the landing party aboard as a burst from the storm hits the starship. The transporter malfunctions, sending Kirk, McCoy, Scotty and Uhura into an alternate universe. (The good side goes to the bad side, and vice-versa. Top morality tale, great acting too)

Wolf in the Fold
Scotty is accused of killing a young dancer from a nightclub on the planet Argelian. (A take on Jack the Ripper; Love this one!)

Obsession
Eleven years ago, the U.S.S. Farragut encountered a deadly cloud creature with vampire-like tendencies. On his way to deliver necessary medical supplies, Kirk encounters what he believes is the same blood-sucking entity. (Why Shatner is Shatner, brilliant acting!)

Wink of an Eye
The Enterprise responds to a distress call from the planet Scalos; the call shows several Scalosians asking for assistance. Arriving at Scalos, however, the crew find only an empty city, with no life forms registering on tricorder scans. (Pure, hardcore Science Fiction)

The mold was broken after this series...

Well coming from someone who tried to watch them all, I say tried because I'm not really a Star Trek fan, the only series that I could ever consistantly watch was NEXT GENERATION! Maybe it was Data and Picard...

You know what, you're right. Damn Roddenberry - why didn't he just make the Klingons hate the Federation in TOS? Oh and why didn't he make it so tensions always ran high between Romulans and the Federation in TNG, not to mention the sneaky Ferengi and Cardassians! What a jerk, I can't believe he didn't do that.

Oh, wait, he did.
