What a fucking breath of fresh air. Never watched it because I thought it would be lame since there's never any fighting. But fuck me it stands in stark contrast to all other media. It shows a future I actually want to live in. Everything else is some dystopian, violence ridden, dim look on humanity. Don't get me wrong I love a good dystopia but wow.
Fuck now I'm a nerd send help.
I like DS9 best, even though it's the darkest of the lot. Shows what happens once the Enterprise gives it's grand speeches and moves on. 1st season is garbage but the first season of everything but TOS is garbage.
ENT is definitely utterly useless for most of its run, but gets really good half way through season 3. Apparently if they'd continued they were going to do the Romulan Wars and base it strongly off of Diane Duane's Rihannsu novels where the not-quite-yet Federation gets its ass handed to it by the space equivalent of a Technical swarm.
