Poll - Worst Star Trek series

If we're going to have the best we might as well have the corollary.

I have only seen one season of Discovery and haven't seen Lower Decks or Picard so Enterprise is the worst show I've seen in it's entirety

I have to say VOYAGER. Wasted potential. Back in 2009 I was watching the complete series of each show for the first time, as I had only sporadically seen episodes during its original run. By the time I finished "Endgame", I was just relieved to finally jump onto ENTERPRISE just to get something different. Those first two seasons ultimately felt like extended seasons of VOYAGER, but at least the third and fourth seasons TRIED to do something refreshing.

Discovery for me. I didn't like any of the characters, the uniforms sucked and the retconning they did to "modernize" TOS's visuals were unforgivable. Not to mention making Michael Burnham; Spock's adopted sister was such an unnecessary and bad idea. It's like in the James Bond movie S.P.E.C.T.R.E. when they made Bond's arch nemesis Ernst Stavro Blofeld his foster brother. It makes the universe smaller. Sybok should have been Spock's only secret sibling.

Have to go with Enterprise because if nothing else, none of the other shows (sans TOS) killed the franchise for over a decade.

That's a bit of an exaggeration, given that ST09 came out only four years after ENTERPRISE was cancelled.

The biggest gap between productions is actually five years, between the end of THE ANIMATED SERIES in 1974 and THE MOTION PICTURE in 1979.

Discovery and Picard make Enterprise and Voyager look like perfect masterpieces.

I think that vote for DS9 is probably a troll. Hey, who am I to say what you dislike, but I have never seen a single negative argument of DS9 that doesn't apply worse to a later show.

There were fans in 1993 that thought that a Star Trek show with a space station setting was horrible, and if there are fans that still believe that in 2021 then it's pretty understandable why they'd still rank it on the very bottom.
