Data and Picard are tied for best characters on TNG for me. On DS9 I'd have to say the Grand Nagus.

I've only seen TNG and the TNG movies. I thoroughly enjoyed it though. I thought the special effects were pretty good in the later seasons of TNG. They weren't avatar good but they are better then alot of other crap I've seen in other movies and shows newer then TNG. Before long I ll check out the other series. I haven't heard alot of good things about them but I definitely want to check them out.
I wouldn't mind seeing a movie made about Picard 's days when he was at the Academy. I would like to see what kind of shenanigans that him, Beverly Crusher, and Wesley Crusher's dad got into.

also they just released a new startrek movie called renegade I watched it, kinda lame but guess it was good to see a few old faces but other than that meh.

TNG is hands down the best in terms of story and characters. There were the philosophical episodes and existential episodes.
Even when one story arc closes, another opens up. Cardasians, Romulans, Klingons were always antagonizing is one way or another. The result being nothing ever really got stale.
No matter which series you like, the best episodes always involve alternate/opposite universes. Like the Federation become militaristic conquers instead of explorers and diplomats.

I remember when the first episode of TNG aired. I was at my aunt's house and my cousin was glued to the big tube TV shouting at everyone to be quiet and get out of the way. It was a big deal.
As a teenager, I remember the local channel showed DS9 after midnight and I watched the whole series. I enjoyed it as a teenager, but as an adult...meh. I gotta admit that, looking back, my fascination was probably more with Jadzia Dax and Kira Nerys than the show itself.

My first memories of TNG are my grandma ignoring me and locking me out of her bedroom to watch it with her friend 
I hated Star Trek for so long after that.

I've seen all of Voyager and TNG and a small amount of TOS and DS9. I find DS9 to be pretty mundane and the special effects on TOS to be prohibitively terrible. There are definitely some way out there TNG episodes--especially in the early seasons but then it gets into its groove of go to planet x, oehs noes solution isn't working, solve the problem, ep over formula. I do think though that TNG has by far the best characters. Warf, Data, Picard, LaForge, Riker... what a fucking cast. That said, Voyager has a consistently good story and 7 of 9 is fucking smoking. I was consistently sucked into Voyager... the other series... not so much.

I agree with all that and that episode with the time warp making the enterprise a military vessel is probably my favorite episode. That episode even lead to another one that involved Natasha yar which I thought was cool.

Finally watched it. Acting was pretty terrible (and if I can say something has terrible acting, it really is terrible, I'm not usually able to pick up on the slightly crappy acting or shortcomings) but it was okay. I mean it's not a big budget film, so of course it's not going to be gorgeous eye candy or anything. If you've found yourself watching a lot of Star Trek, I'd say watch it just to say you have, but don't expect to get a lot out of it.

Yeah that one with Yar's half-Romulan daughter was pretty cool.
Enterprise usually doesn't get too much love but I kind of liked it. Had a lot of potential but then so much time was devoted to dull story arcs about alien races you never hear anything about in the other shows.
