What is your favorite Star Trek series and episode?

[Jessica_Rose ✅]

Deep Space 9 - In The Pale Moonlight

[Lori Dee ✅]

The original TV series, episode "Space Seed" (1967) -  (Ricardo Montalban is epic!)

Then the Star Trek II movie, The Wrath of Khan. (He is still epic!)

Then, later in the new Star Trek movie, Into Darkness, Benedict Cumberbatch does a fantastic job as the young Khan. Those are big shoes to fill, but he does a very good job.

Is claiming TNG's "The Inner Light" cheating? That darn flute...the way Picard kind of hugs it at the end as the camera pans out and fades to black...I cry every single time.

Why would that be cheating? I love how they brought the flute back in 'Lessons' when Picard was having a relationship with a female character who played the piano.

Love always -- Jessica Rose

There are so many different Star Trek series.  I wonder if they have overextended them.

The latest one I think is about the Star Fleet Academy.  I have not watched any of its episodes.

The Orville is The Next The Next Generation and you'll never convince me otherwise!

The original TV series, episode "Space Seed" (1967) -  (Ricardo Montalban is epic!)

Then the Star Trek II movie, The Wrath of Khan. (He is still epic!)

Too many great episodes in the original series to pick one, but Space Seed is definitely in the top 10, maybe even the top 5. 

The Wrath of Khan was by far the best move.  I hadn't recognized the name Khan when I went to see the movie, but when Chekov read the name SS Botany Bay, I remember saying to my self "Oh ->-bleeped-<-".  I was on the edge of my seat during the entire move.

I did watch the first couple of episodes from Star Trek the Next Generation.  They sucked and I lost all interest in anything Star Trek since.

Best single episode was the TNG one when the Borg annihilated most of Starfleet - The Best of Both Worlds (Season 3 Episode 26 + Season 4 Episode 1) Wins for the shock factor alone.

Best series is tricky though. I pretty much loved them all.

I grew up with TOS and TNG so they have a special place in my heart.

For nostalgia I would go for the last season of Picard, it was an awesome season.

Brave New Worlds was pretty cool when they introduced the Gorn,

Deep Space 9 was cool when they had the war with the Dominion.

Voyager had some amazing episodes

Movie wise there is no contest, The Wrath of Khan

Mind, my favourite Sci-Fi series of all is The Expanse by a country mile followed closely by Babylon 5 then Star Trek and Battelstar Galactica. honourable mention goes to Andor too

[Dawn Kellie]

I love Star Trek.  I will watch any iteration. Enterprise gets a bad wrap sometime, especially the end of the last season. It is amazing and has some great foundation for all the other series.  I went through about a year ago and started them from Enterprise to Discovery.  Now I have to do it again with Strange New Worlds right after Enterprise and Star Fleet Academy at the end.

The Orville has a story arc starting primarily in Season 1, episode 3 "About a Girl," where there is a sex change of an infant issue, for changing a female at birth to male.  In season 3 a reversion back to female story line for the same child: see episode 5, a "Tale of Two Topas" where the child wants to revert back to birth sex.
