ok before there are too many "best of's" or "favorites" or whatever threads, it is best to have just one for all groups...
the other threads have been deleted; in the "Best Episodes" original thread, all sorts of other categories started being added and it was getting sidetracked already...
so we'll start over and have everything be in one thread...
please feel free to repost anything that you may have posted in other threads...
edit - i apologize for having to make anyone retype what theyve already typed, i meant to archive the other threads for safe keeping to PM anyone back what they posted, but i accidentally removed them instead of archiving them, so i apologize for that... please dont get all angry at me for my error, either repost or dont... simple as that...
anyway -
in this thread, post your favorites/best of for:
Episodes for each Series (not all series need be listed), your favorite captain, your favorite secondary character(s), your favorite ship, your favorite villain, and so forth with a brief explanation as to why that's your top choice(s) if youd like... and you dont need to put in a response to each and every category of course...
please keep this thread ontopic, do not spam it - this is not going to be a debate thread or anything like that... perhaps only one post per person is needed... any posts that do not fall into this criteria will be deleted...
i'll begin...
Eps:
TOS - (not much a fan of it, so i have nothing)
TAS - (never saw it)
TNG - "Yesterday's Enterprise" (i liked seeing the show in more of a militant, series style), "Disaster" (glad to see Deanna have a commanding role), "Best Of Both Worlds" (generic reply i know lol)
DS9 - anything involving eps from the Dominion War and on
Voy - "Year Of Hell" (nice seeing them on the losing end for once, getting their asses kicked, lots of damage, and a strung-out crew)
Ent - not too much a fan of that series, nothing to add here lol
Captain - toss up between Picard and Sisko, tho Janeway had her fine moments here and there...
First Officer - Riker
Secondary Character - Jadzia Dax all the way...
Reoccuring Character - not sure... maybe Nog, strangely enough... his charcater started getting really decent towards the end of DS9 IMO
Villian - Gul Dukat
Ship - USS Rhode Island (of course! lol) or the Nova class, i just like the look of those ships for some reason...

DS9 - Favor the Bold, A time to stand, Sacrifice of Angels and the Way of the Warrior (great, epic battles and like most DW episodes, good plot)
VOY - Timeless, Scorpion, End Game, Year of Hell and Workforce (each of these had great plot (especially Workforce) and of course cool GFX)

Well here is my two cents:
Favorite episodes/series:
TOS
It's hard for me to get into this series, just because of how old and dated it can be (cut me a break I'm only 20). Of course it still has great episodes (Mirror Mirror, Trouble With Tribbles), and it'll always have the respect of being the one that started it all.
TNG
My all time favorite series, I especially love Q Who, Yesterdays Enterprise, The Best of Both Worlds, Parallels, and All Good Things. There are so much more but I don't wanna go on.
DS9
Really good series, and it seems like it one that had the least amount of screw ups continuity wise, so kudos to the writers. Loved Improbable Cause, The Die is Cast, Trials and Tribble-ations, In the Pale Moonlight, and Tears of the Prophets.
VOY
My second favorite after TNG. Yeah the show had a lot of issues heading towards the end (when Braga became showrunner...) but I was always a big fan of the Borg and well...Voyager was thrown into their backyard. Favorite episodes are Scorpion, Scientific Method, Year of Hell, and Message In a Bottle.
ENT
I hated this show until the fourth season. I try not to nitpick on continuity, but they really screwed that up bad on this show for the first 3 years. But even with that aside, the show just wasn't that interesting until season 4. At that point B&B took a backseat and Manny Coto started running things, and the show really took off. Favorites are the Augments trilogy, the Vulcan arc, the Romulan trilogy, Affliction, Divergence, and In a Mirror Darkly.
TAS
I haven't seen one episode of this show, but from what I've heard it wasn't really that great, and to be honest I don't know if I could take a Star Trek cartoon seriously, so I'm not really that anxious to see it, but not unwilling.
Films
Wrath of Kahn, First Contact, and Star Trek. I don't think I have to explain those three.
Captain
Picard
Characters
Worf, Riker, The Doctor, Jadzia Dax, Seven of Nine, Tuvok
Ships
I'm tied between the Intrepid- and Sovereign-classes, both are beautiful designs
Villians
Dukat, the Borg Queen (when played by Alice Kridge), Kahn
-
So I got First Contact on Blu-ray, and I must say
Now I remember why it is my favorite Trek movie. :D
inappropriate image removed - be careful what youre posting in the future, this is an all ages forum... - jb76
-
Eps:
TOS - It had it's moments.. bar fights,
TAS - (never saw it)
TNG - "The Battle" "Peak Performance" Constellation class, nuff said.
DS9 - banter and chemistry between Odo, Quark, Bashir, Garak and O'Brien.. any episode with that.
Voy - Janeway going Ripley or blowing up the Voyager in alternate reality..
Ent - never saw it, but I think I couldn't watch it without thinking of Quantum Leap.. :funny
Captain - Janeway ( temperament, bends the rules when it suits her), Picard ( Mr Regulation of 24th century, inventor of Picard manouver 1 and 2, not to mention honorary member of Starfleets paint trader association), JJ-Kirk ( mostly because he gets his ass kicked around the quadrant yet he returns like a yoyo to have some more)
First Officer - Riker.. no contest.
Secondary Character - Probably someone from DS9. they had great chemistry.
Reoccuring Character - Q!
Villian - Lore
Ship - U.S.S. Stargazer and U.S.S. Hathaway. Anyone guess why? :D
Film - hard to choose.. TMP was pretty boring, but some of the rest had their moments. For example, data going "ohh SHIT..!"
-
Eps:
TOS - For the World Was Hollow and I have Touched the Sky and Miri
TAS - (never saw it)
TNG - Tapestries, Peak Performance
DS9 - Nearly everything before Julian was exposed for being an Augment. After that I hated him, and the show got cheesy.
Voy - While it was horribly wrong on consistency and canon, I liked the Excelsior episode.
Ent - Broken Bow and the Romulan arch
Captain - DeSoto, followed by Jellico.
First Officer - Riker
Secondary Character - Jadzia was fun, although she seemed constipated in season one. I actually liked Neelix.
Reoccuring Character - Garak, 100%
Villian - Weyoun
Ship - The Hood. Looked beautiful in TNG and kicked epic ass in DS9, especially in Tears of the Prophets when it joined the tiny little task force to destroy the turret generators.
Film - ST2-3-4 arc.
-
TOS - been watching remastereds and amazed how many still work (and how many just bad!). Love Enterprise Incident (Rom Cmdr)
TAS - never seen it
TNG - seen a few but never got it - don't like costumes, bad makeup and fx and touchy-feelyness...
DS9 - seen premiere and final eps and 'Trials&Tribs'; better effects (awesome fleet battles) but takes itself way too seriously (blame Ron Moore)
VOY - my fave; love it all esp Year of Hell, Scorpion... to me this is the series that is closest in spirit to TOS and Trek, with best characters and stories
ENT - haven't seen apart from the 'mirror' eps, which were fun although a direct riff to TOS
Captain - tie Kirk and Janeway (though think all strong believable caps, apart from archer)
XO - Spock, Chakotay
Secondary character - Like Neelix too; Tuvok is almost as good as Spock; and the Doctor (though i think these all primary characters in ensemble cast). Best secondary is Nurse Chapel, who I think should have had more to do...
Recurring character - Q (if you include Squire of Gothos as inspiration)....four series is awesome!
Villain - i don't consider khan/borg queen as villains as understand actions; has to be Doomsday Machine (that is scary!)
Ship - so many, but have to say Miranda
Film - TWOK. Don't think TMP and TFF as bad as canon suggests , and better Trek-spirit films than III (padding) and IV (comedy and whales, urgh!). Also like Nemesis battle sequences...
-
TOS - Enterprise Incident
TAS - The Practical Joker (Kirk is a Jerk - Best burn on Shatner ever)
TNG - Q-Pid, maybe... Anything with Q, really... Eat any good books lately?
DS9 - Trials and Tribble-ations was brilliantly done, probably that. Or any of the more war-oriented episodes. Really liked seeing the Federation in a new, darker light.
VOY - Year of Hell, Scorpion, Or anything prominently featuring Kes. :facepalm:
ENT - In a Mirror Darkly, hands down.
Admiral - Q
Captain - Picard or Archer.
XO - Good ol' Will Riker.
Secondary character - Unsure
Recurring character - Garak
Villain - Gul Dukat, no question. He's possibly my favourite character spanning the series. Up until DS9 got too religious with the pah'wraith and he had the bajoran look going.
Ship - B'rel probably, or the Excel refit.
Film - Generations or FC (Khan after those, then STXI.)
-
Eps:
TOS - (never saw it)
TMP - StarTrek II,VII.
TNG - most of the episode especially : "best of both world"; "Defector"; "Q who"
DS9 - anything involving a starship battle, such "sacrifice of the angel", "tears of the prophets".
Voy - hmmm... somehow it hard for me to get into it.... but the one I like is the Prometeus episode. Forgot about the title.
Ent - (never saw it)
Captain - Kirk (2009) ; Keogh (the Odyssey) ; Piccard (Nemesis)
First Officer - Riker ; Spock (2009)
Secondary Character - Jadzia Dax ; Data
Reoccuring Character - Garak
Villian - Gul Dukat
Ship - All of Galaxy class (1st) ; Akira Class (2nd) ; Nebula Clas (3rd) ; Sovy Class (4th) ; Excelsior (5th)
Film - StarTrek Nemesis, the best startrek film that showing a real starship battle; STNG, my fave trek film, the first time I saw the Galaxy class; STDeep space nine, like the battle, but a bit dissappointed since there's no shield effect & the main character's ship is illogically strong, it's never make sense for me; Startrek VII, a unique battle.
-
Episodes: Pretty much any Romulan heavy episode
Captain: Picard
First officer: Riker
Secondary officer: Jadzia Dax
Recurring character: Garak
Villian : Probably Dukat.
Ship: nonfederation -- Romulan Warbird
federation -- Galaxy class and the Sovy
Film: First Contact
Nemesis was a huge disappointment for a lot of people, but for me mostly because when I heard Romulans I was giddy. Only to find out that in the film they are portrayed as incompetent sacrificial lambs. :bitch:
-
Episodes:
TOS - Hmmmm.....Balance of Terror, The City on the Edge of Forever (of course,) Mirror, Mirror, and Arena are my favorites.
TAS - Didn't see it.
TNG - The Measure of a Man or The Inner Light are my first two, then Tapestry, I, Borg, & The Offspring round it out.
DS9 - I'm a DS9 guy so this is my turf...In the Pale Moonlight, For The Uniform, Wrongs Darker Than Death or Night, Way of the Warrior, The Visitor (super-generic lol) & Far Beyond the Stars fir me.
Voy - Not a Voyager guy but it had its moments. Tuvix, Latent Image, Year of Hall I/II, Workforce I/II, & One Small Ship are my picks. Tuvix is up there with the best Trek can do.
Ent - In a Mirror Darkly just because of T'Pol :P and the Vulcan arc, and Simultude was a great one.

-
Wow, my list has changed so much in the last couple of years. Back then around the time of my first post in this topic I still hadn't seen much of Deep Space Nine and was only just getting caught up. Time for an update I guess.
Series/Episodes:
TOS - My views on TOS haven't changed much since my first post. I'll always respect it for being the one that started it all, but I have a hard time getting into it because of its age. Favorite episodes: "Mirror, Mirror," "Trouble With Tribbles."
TAS - I still haven't seen this one. I keep meaning too but like I said before, I just don't know if I could take a Star Trek cartoon seriously. Maybe one day I'll check it out...
TNG - Of course I love TNG, it's the series that got me hooked on Star Trek and no matter how many times I see it in reruns I never get sick of it. Favorite episodes: "The Arsenal of Freedom," "Yesterdays Enterprise," "Best of Both Worlds" (it's the first Trek episode I ever saw), "All Good Things..."
DS9 - Now that I've caught up on this series I've found it to be my favorite. Very complex and character driven, and much more consistent than Voyager (and even TNG in some places). Favorite episodes: "Past Tense," "The Adversary," "Way of the Warrior," "Broken Link," "Apocalypse Rising," "Call to Arms," "In the Pale Moonight," "Tears of the Prophets," "What You Leave Behind," the list goes on...
VOY - Now that I've been spoiled by DS9 Voyager just doesn't really click for me anymore. It's become too obvious that the writers were burnt out by around the fifth season, and even when I was a Voyager junkie I wasn't really fond of how the only characters that seemed to get any significant attention were Janeway, Seven of Nine, and the Doctor. Of course I don't think Voyager is total crap, and I still think there are some good episodes in here. Favorite episodes: "Scorpion," "Year of Hell," "Hope and Fear," "Thirty Days."
ENT - I used to be one of those Enterprise bashers back in the day, but now that its been a few years and I've re-watched the fourth season (which did a lot to fix Enterprise's problems in seasons one and two), I'm finding myself kind of pissed that it didn't get its full seven year run. I honestly believe that if Enterprise had been allowed to continue under the direction of Manny Coto and Mike Sussman, it probably could have reached a similar quality level as DS9. It's a pity we'll never find out... Favorite episodes: The Vulcan arc, the Romulan arc, "In A Mirror, Darkly."
Captain - Picard, Sisko
First Officer - Riker
Secondary Character - Jadzia Dax, Worf
Recurring Character - Garak, Shran
Villain - Gul Dukat, Weyoun

5=) ENT
Rank the Captains is difficult. There is only one clear Worst (Archer) The Others is more subjective
1) Picard (seems to be the best, though not my Favorite Janeway)
2) Kirk (A cowboy, he had smart moments and dumb moments)
3)Janeway (Is my favorite actor and likely the best actor out of all of them.)
4) Sisko was good but seemed to prejudice and sometimes a hypocrite
5) Archer (The worse portrayal not sure if he's the worse actor)
I'd rank the XOs like this:
1) Spock
2) Nerys (more like 1a and 1b) She suffered from 1st officer writing but clearly the best next to Spock
3) Riker
4) Chakotay (I couldn't tell he was a man.)
5) T'pol (I couldn't tell if she was alive)
Best Characters From Each Series-
1) Worf (DS9, his character is finally flushed out)
2) Seven of Nine (she was Spock only more aggressive and condescending)
3) Scott (the richest character per line in the secondary areas)
4) Data (but unfortunately his character's value was destroyed in the movies
5) Trip (All of the Secondary Characters were extremely average with this exception)
Best Recurring Characters From Each Series -
[1)Weyoun (for the actor and the character)
2)Guinan
3) Chapel
4) Shran
5) Icheb
Best Villain from Each Series
1) Dukat
2) Seska
3) Q
4) Kang

Best Speeches
Picard
'With the first link, the chain is forged. The first speech censured...the first thought forbidden...the first freedom denied--chains us all irrevocably.' Those words were uttered by Judge Aaron Satie, as wisdom...and warning. The first time any man's freedom is trodden on, we're all damaged.
Sisko
"When I first took command of this post, all I wanted was to be somewhere else. Anywhere but here. But now, five years later, this station has become my home. And you've become my family. Leaving this place, leaving you, is one of the hardest things I've ever had to do. But this war isn't over. I want you to know that, while we were keeping the Dominion occupied, a Starfleet/Klingon task force crossed the border into Cardassia and destroyed the Dominion shipyards on Torros III. Your sacrifices, our sacrifices, made that possible. But no victory can make this moment any easier for me and I promise, I will not rest until I stand with you again. Here. In this place. Where I belong."
Janeway
"You know, I'm really easy to get along with most of the time, but I don't like bullies and I don't like threats, and I don't like 'you', Culluh. You can try and stop us from getting to the truth but I promise you that if you do I will respond with all the 'unique technologies' at my command."
Kirk
"They used to say that if man could fly he have wings. But he did fly, he discovered he had to. Do wish the first Appolo mission hadn't gone to the moon, then to mars and the nearest star? That's like saying you wish you'd still opperated with scapels and sewed up your patients with cat guts like your great, great, great, great grandfather used to. I'm in command. I could order this but I'm not because Dr. McCoy is right in pointing out the enormous danger potential in any contact with life and intelligence as fantasticaly advanced as this. But I must point out that the possibilities..the potential...for knowledge and advancement is equally Great! Risk! Risk...is our business."
Archer
"Up untill a hundred years ago there was one question that burned in every human. It made us study the stars and dream of traveling to them. "Are we alone?" Our generation is priveleged to know the answer to that question. We're all explorers driven to know what's over the Horizon, what's beyond our own shores, yet the more I've experienced the more I've learned, no matter how far we travel or how fast we get there, the most profound discoveries are not necessarily beyond that next star. They're within us, woven into the threads that bind us, all of us to each other. The final frontier begins in this hall. Lets explore it together.
