I know it's said, but I think TOS is the best of all of them. Yes, the special effects are ludicrous, Shatner is a horrible overactor, and some of the lines were damnably corny, but it had real innovation. It was the kind of series where anything could happen. Had some sort of social relevance too. The more modern series are all a load of crap about malfunctioning jeffries tubes and wormholes. If I wanted a lesson in quantum physics I'd pick up a Feynman book, dammit. Only TNG was really watchable, and that was because Patrick Stewart carried the whole thing. DS9 got old fast and Voyager was no better. I've only seen one or two episodes of Enterprise so I can't make any real statement. Except to affirm that, yes, the Vulcan chick is hot, and yes, that theme song sucks. What little I saw seemed to have some vague amount of creativity too(I only saw the first two or three episodes).
And Wrath of Khan was a helluva lot better than the modern movies.

I liked all of them except for TOS. Each series had its good and bad episodes.. but I think that the plot of DS9 was the most interesting. | If you would have seen it in 1967/68/69, you might have like it. I did.
I like all of them.

The federation is founded after the romulan war (about 2161 I think), the show started in 2151 and is now in 2153. I think they will manage to squeeze in both the romulans and the federation stuff in due time. If the show stays that is.

throwing in the "suliban"; the enterprise looking like the akira class; the bridge looking more modern than even voyager's; the vulcans being evil; adding in the ferengi; cheapness of the decontam scene...

Odd, when I watch most of the post-TOS Star Trek series I expect to see the "Cunard" or "Holland-America" logos on the ships because their interiors look like the kind of poshness one would expect from luxury cruiseships. The latest Enterprise at least looks like a ship designed for exploration / military purposes.

I think DS9 was cool as it was, one of the best ST parts 
For Enterprise, I think the entire setting, the characters, also the dialogues and the production design is better than in Voyager. I also got familiar with the crew pretty fast. In Voyager I needed several seasons for this. When they showed it the first time on German tv I watched some episodes, then gave up, and only returned later (shortly before 7of9 came), then it was at least ok, but not great. It got better with the Borg, but still a lot of episodes were boring, and some characters lacked individuality.
Sure there are weak episodes in Enterprise too, but overall it has much more potential.

No, they changed the title of the song and only list the performer. But the song (at least the lyrics) is some 80s Stewart song.

I like the ship much better in this one
I also like the atmosphere better, it is more similiar to ToS (which was the best of the previous ones)
