My all time favorite is DS9. I really liked seeing a less than ideal Federation and all the flawed and gray characters....
I completely loathed Enterprise when it first aired. However, I gave it another try a while back and actually enjoyed most of it...
I wasn't not crazy about the Xindi thing, but the 1st and last seasons were a lot of fun.
I recently began reading some old Larry Niven books (
Ringworld & The Mote in God's Eye). When looking around for more stuff to read, I stumbled upon a bit of trivia about Enterprise. Apparently, if the show had not been canceled, they were going to do an episode involving the Kzinti!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kzin#Star_TrekQuote:
The Kzinti also appeared, along with allusions to slavers and stasis boxes, in The Slaver Weapon, an episode of Star Trek: The Animated Series written by Niven, as a proud and carnivorous species. Manny Coto, who produced the final season of Star Trek: Enterprise, had made plans to include the Kzinti in an episode called "Kilkenny Cats", but the series was cancelled before this could occur.
The Kzinti would make Klingons look like a bunch of nancyboys!
Quote:
Kzinti are often described as anthropomorphic tigers, but there are significant and visible differences. Kzinti are larger than humans, standing around 8 feet (2.4 m) tall and weighing around 500 pounds (230 kg). These tiger-sized bipeds have large membranous ears, a barrel-chested torso with a flexible spine, and large fangs and claws. One human gave an apt description of Kzin as "eight feet of death."
I too loved DS9, despite first three seasons was quite boring, until they met Dominium
My favorite race was Ferengi and Quark, i i loved to watch how they ruining liberal-socialist utopia in almost every episode
