        I’ve noticed a recent trend of people enjoying DS9, but for most of my life TNG and TOS have been the golden boys. People always compared Picard and Kirk, and rolled their eyes if you mentioned Sisko or Janeway. Or Archer too, I guess.

        Just because more people are expressing fondness for something than they had previously doesn’t mean it’s suddenly “the favorite”. At most it means it’s a slightly more untapped place to mine for shitposts.

          DS9 is more appreciated when watched as a whole, which lots of people didn’t probably have a chance to do before streaming. Unless they shelled out for the DVDs. I was lucky enough to borrow them off a mate in the early 2000s and binged it all in order.

      Guess that depends on who you ask. My boss LOVES DS9 over all but I’m more on VOY closely followed by TNG (except I think the first season is cringy). I also really like LD but I know with old school trekkies it’s hit and miss - my mom is a big trekkie and can’t stand it.
