I first got into Star Trek with the Next Generation but quickly jumped ship once I discovered TOS. Man do I love TOS.

Last year I embarked upon a journey through all of Trek. A trek though Trek if you will...(You probably won't =P)

Like many of you when DS9 originally aired I skipped it. The premise didn't sound all that interesting to me at the time so I stuck with TNG. Later I'd jump into Voyager around the third season or so. When Enterprise rolled around I watched that for a while before losing interest.

Having now gone through all of DS9 I can safely say it is my second favorite Trek show after TOS. As I was watching everything as it originally aired it was so weird to alternate between DS9 and TNG. The characters in DS9 were so different and open. It left TNG feeling cold in comparison.

Voyager was really hit and miss. The first two seasons were just bad. It picked up steam in season 3 and was good for a while before having another stinker season. Ended on a terrible note.

Currently in season 2 of Enterprise. Really digging it. I remember being extremely annoyed by the fact that all of the technology looked more advanced than TOS. Was even more annoyed by the Klingons having ridges. Going through it now though I can look past that stuff for the most part. What I can't get past is how frequently they use T'Pol as a sex object. Rick Berman and Brannon Braga really come off as old perverts with the situations and things they put her through.
