Bad spelling. "high"

That's not ironic.

Everyone had raving reviews of Abrams' Star Trek, yet those same people (and everyone else) has nothing to discuss about it now. People are still talking/debating about classic Star Trek, even if it is the one that many dislike. A lot of things stand out from classic Star Trek, but nothing leads to discussion in Abrams' Star Trek (yet, everyone loved the latter).

I agree. The biggest thing they did was add the concept of a season arc to the story. That was completely against the normally compartmentalized stories normal Trek shows used, but I really liked it. I'm a big fan of serialized shows like Lost or Dexter for the same reason. I like my story in little bits!

You really don't know what you are talking about. Maybe the original series, the beginning of TNG, and much of Voyager had more simplistic storylines, but the rest of TNG and DS9 were filled with complex villains and heroes. (Gul Dukat being a primary example, along with Q and Quark)
As far as Season Arcs, DS9 was filled with them (sometimes stretching over multiple seasons).
Enterprise was just a horribly acted, horribly written show especially during the first season. All trek shows have struggled with getting their bearings in the first season, but Enterprise was the worst, and it came right after the terrible crap that was voyager in the last season or so. Enterprise had to absolutely hit the ball out of the park if the trek franchise was to be saved, and it so completely failed that in every way. Even if it got better in the last season, (which I highly doubt) it was too little, far too late.

It was certainly not the worst sci-fi spinoff, but it was the worst Trek series, if for no other reason, for the horrible, horrible theme "song." After a series of marvelous, classic instrumental themes (yes, Courage's theme for TOS had words, but they had the good sense not to use them in the final product), I thought my eardrums would bleed when I first heard that piece of crap. Thereafter, the "mute" button went immediately into action when the credits began.

It's already been said, but I have to echo it. If there was a series that corrected the things that had been wrong with Star Trek to that time, it was Deep Space 9. Best Star Trek series to date.

Also agree that Enterprise was just okay, but not terrible, but it was the high expectations that any Star Trek series would face that sank it. I hasten to add, however, that I think Enterprise was the one Star Trek series that failed to give us a crew of memorably written and acted characters.

I really liked Enterprise, like, a lot. It was always bugged me that so many people seemed to think it is the worst. They came after a different generation with it, freshened up certain elements and I personally feel as thought they did a great job.

Voyager had its moments and I liked Janeway a lot but it got a bit repetitive at times. DS9 was great, no two-ways about it and while TNG gets the credit (generally speaking) for being everyones favorite, the giant flying office building set to barter peace with the galaxy got a little tiresome.

I dunno, maybe Enterprise was just a victim of a Star Trek franchise that people were simply getting tired of. How many years had that shit been on the air for? Too long, that's how long.

Enterprise was the best ST spin off. Best writing and acting with few mediocre or bad episodes, and the only non-preachy doctor (he was hilarious). Voyager was the worst of the ST spinoffs. The worst in sci fi history was the Battlestar after they got to earth (70s).

You are so completely wrong in every way. DS9 was just a fantastic show in most ways that stretched the Trek franchise in areas in way that TNG barely touched. Voyager was a very uneven show that was pretty horrible at the end, but it undoubtedly had the best first season of any trek show, and was pretty decent in the middle as well. Enterprise was far worse than both.

Actually, the Xindi storyline ended kind of flat, and I hated the series finale, so although I still don't think it's one of the worst spinoffs ever, I think it's half the writers fault and half UPN or whatever network had it for trying too hard to connect to the old star trek fans when they had a good thing going when they would try to establish their own identity.

Even if it improved in the last seasons, it was too little, far too late. And TNG was far better in every way except perhaps the worst first season episodes.

I watched the series (gagging all the way), and I hereby state that it was the worst spin-off. Prequels suck, period, and this one wasn't helped by some truly dreadful writing and acting.

The Original Series was the best, followed closely by Voyager.

DS9 had one terrific season (five, I think it was) and a lot of mediocre ones.

TNG was really awful a lot of the time. A couple dozen standout eps, but that's it.
