Iā€™ve never been much of a Trek guy, but Iā€™ve seen all the films. Only seen a few episodes of TOS and nothing else of the shows. I really should rewatch the movies as itā€™s been a while since Iā€™ve seen them, so this ranking may completely change.

  1. Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan
  2. Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home
  3. Star Trek (2009)
  4. Star Trek: First Contact
  5. Star Trek: The Motion Picture
  6. Star Trek III: The Search for Spock
  7. Star Trek V: The Final Frontier
  8. Star Trek Into Darkness
  9. Star Trek: Insurrection
  10. Star Trek: Generations
  11. Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country
  12. Star Trek: Nemesis

Films:

MEH PLUS to GREAT:
Kahn, Undiscovered Country, Generations, First Contact, 2009, Into Darkness

(Kahn is great, UC/FC/2009 are good, Gen and ID are Meh Plus)

MEH
TMP, Search for Spock, Final Frontier (Final Frontier is almost Meh Plus but not quite, Spock is Meh, Meh was a word invented for TMP)

MEH MINUS TO SUCK
Voyage Home, Insurrection, Nemesis (Voyage Home is Meh Minus, I and N suck)

TV:

  1. TOS
  2. TNG
  3. The rest (havenā€™t seen but a few episodes of any other series, none look very intersting).

Iā€™ve been on a sort of Trek binge, going through every TOS and TNG episode, and I have to say that while it has its moments, The Original Series can be a real slog to get through. Iā€™ve lost count of how many episodes consist of an alien being/artificial intelligence that their sensors cannot comprehend who somehow tranforms itself into a beautiful human female (complete with midriff and soft focus close ups) that Kirk seduces and then obliterates by the end of the episode (and no one gives a shit that itā€™s the last of its species).

TNG, on the other hand, I feel, had a greater variety of storylines and really took the franchise to a new level. A shame those movies were crap.

Whatā€™s the internal temperature of a TaunTaun? Luke warm.

I would suggest watching DS9 if you at all liked TNG. Itā€™s a really good seriesā€¦ until the last season, in which it gradually starts to suck, and the finale is the epitome of sucking for the series. So, just watch the series until that point, and then either prepare yourself or stop watching altogether.

II - What else can I say that hasnā€™t been said?
VI - Wonderful swan song, and actually quite good on its own.
I - Underrated, but maybe Iā€™m biased bc it introduced me to Trek
III - Couldā€™ve been really good, a few things held it back.
ST09 - Honestly, itā€™s probably better than two of the four above it, I just canā€™t bring myself to rate it above them.
FC - At times it seems to dour
IV - Funny the first time, not very re-watchable
GEN - Itā€™s half good sometimes, but itā€™s pretty sloppy.
V - Out-of-body experience in bad, beating out the last two because at least it is some kind of experience
NEM - dream rape and dune buggies were just what Star Trek needed!
INS - Nothing about this movie works.

The ā€œOdd-Numberā€ curse is silly.

ID was a total mess when I saw part of it with a friend. He always gushes about how awesome it is, and doesnā€™t ever give any reasons beyond: Explosions! Boobs! The guy from Sherlock!

SHOWS
TOS
TNG

Slowly working through those two on Netflix. TNG may surpass TOS if the rest of the seasons are better than S1 like everyone says.

Havenā€™t watched the rest.

I support your ranking for the most part. I really liked both Into Darkness and 2009. I would put #'s IV and VI much higher though.

Tell your friend heā€™s an idiot, and this is coming from someone who likes it.

Trust me Frink, Iā€™ve told him several times. But he says the same of me for not liking it or the Star Wars PT.

Oh my God! Season One of TNG is a trainwreck! There are 2 or 3 episodes I can watch from time to time but itā€™s rough. Season 2 is a little better, but it really picks up steam starting with Season 3.

Tell me, does Q ever become less irritating? I cannot stand him as is.

There are times when I just really want to skip this season and go on to S2, but for whatever reasons I just canā€™t bring myself to do it.

Presumably a minority of one.

OK I assumed somebody actually liked Nemesis, but to be honest I never expected I will find somebody who will think itā€™s the best Trek movie šŸ˜ƒ

Interesting. Why do you like it so much? Iā€™ve heard of people liking it and defending it (YouTubeā€™s Nostalgia Critic comes to mind) but someone saying it is the best is something Iā€™ve never heard of.

Iā€™m not saying that it is the best. I donā€™t think it is. I just enjoyed it the most.

As for why, I canā€™t really say. Thereā€™s just something about the dark tone and ambiance thatā€™s always hit the mark for me.

Really? I thought most of the first season episodes were great. Of course, the pilot wasnā€™t that good, and there are some shitty episodes like Haven, Angel One or Code of Honor, but most of them were pretty good. Season 2 is for me much worse šŸ˜ƒ

I hate season 2 of TNG for one reasonā€¦ Dr. Pulaski. Crusher is replaced by this idiot jerk doctor whoā€™s racist against Data (being an android) to emulate a McCoy/Spock style thing, but it just comes off as Pulaski being a racist jerk. After season 2 Crusher comes back, so allā€™s good from then on.
