      Trek heresy, but in my personal top five list from all the shows, Voyager takes two slots and TNG gets none.

          This is my personal list. While I know that academically TNG had a lot of high concept scifi, and was doing it before it was popular in TV, I don’t connect with it as much.

          I feel that a lot of TNG episodes are worthy of being called great but I just don’t connect with them.

          For what it’s worth, my top all time Trek episode is Voyager’s Living Witness.

              The characters mostly. A combination of the writing and acting. I don’t dislike them (mostly) but I don’t feel in my feelings as compelled by Data’s journey for humanity as I do by the Doctor’s, for example.

              Also the interior of the Enterprise-D is kind of hideous to me. Not that it’s a huge factor, but I like the softer lighting of Voyager or the NX. Even DS9’s intentional ugliness wraps around and I find it comfy. The Enterprise-D just looks like a garish 80s hotel.
