-abstract: Why I consider Star Trek to be best western SciFi series
----
-For me, the answer is clear: "Star Trek". The classic series are fantastic. While I like "Star Wars," "Star Trek "owns my heart. Although I am still watching Voyager an have not seen a single episode of "Enterprise," "Deep Space 9" is easily my top #1 western SciFi series. It is (in contrast to "Star Wars") aimed at grown-ups.
-
-Yes, "Babylon 5" was mind-blowing, and DS9 was its clone. The Xero machines, however, removed all of the wrong things. For example, there is no King Arthur episode; there are no plots without end (what happened to Londo?!). When we compare the top with the top, I will put "Babylon 5" higher, but when we count in the worse episodes of the series, DS9 is on top.
-
-When "The Next Generation" was taking its sweet time looking for footing, DS9 quickly got it.
-
-When Voyager completely ignored the crew, who were there only for the plot, DS9 fleshed them out. Those Durak/Bashir lunches! That Jadzia or Odo plots!
-
-DS9 takes the best thing - the real humans - from TNG and adds an excellent and engaging main plot. Yes, it's derivative from B5, but who cares?
-
-"Star Wars," on the other hand, is so small. The first three movies were great on their own. However, it was a childish fantasy, and everything that came later was disappointing. Well, I can't talk about :everything" as "Last Jedi" is so bad that I can't force myself to watch anything after that. Although I've heard good things about "Mandalorian", I haven't seen it. Maybe someday. There is so much good Star Trek to enjoy!
-
-"Picard," however, is terrible. The second season was easily the worst Star Trek I have ever seen.
-
-What else could I compare to "Star Trek"?
-
-"Battlestar Galactica" is excellent. It may have the best characters in any western SciFi; the story is engaging. But the world is small and has no place for other stories. "Stargate" is a distant #3, but other than that? "Expanse" is mediocre at best; "Firefly" and "Dark Matter" were killed in infancy. "Doctor Who" has like a thousand missing episodes, so why even start?
-
-"Orville"? Well, I'll need to start it again, as I stopped watching sometime when season 1 was still new. This leaves me with "Farscape," the muppets in space series. This is also something I need to return to.
-
-Let's also mention "Lexx." The euro-soft porn version of space opera. I liked the first season - it was not something I would ever expect to see. But after that? After that, it was sometimes bad, sometimes terrible, but never watchable. Well, except for the musical episode. It was a banger.
-
-So yeah. "Star Trek" is my number one, and nothing else comes close. In western SciFi, at least, anime is on an entirely different level.
