Star Trek TNG vs. Star Trek TOS

Which Star Trek series out of Star Trek: The Next Generation (TNG) and Star Trek: The Original Series (TOS) do you prefer?

I like them both, but prefer Star Trek TNG because it is the one I grew up watching and I was really into it. Plus, Data is my favorite character from any Star Trek series. I also like that TNG has better special effects, but Star Trek: TOS was good for being from the 60s though.

YOUR TURN! 

Which is better: Star Trek: The Next Generation OR Star Trek: The Original Series?

Star Trek: TNG

annelisabeth says:

On TNG they developed some things that wasn't in TOS, so I have to say I like it better. It's probably the series I've seen the most, and learned the most from - especially in terms of ethical dilemmas. But, hey, I'll watch any Star Trek. It's a bit silly to see the crude special effects from TOS, but TNG is holding up pretty good even today.

Look Star trek period, is an achievment beyond achievments, for it shows and open-minded view point on the human way of life, and what we can grow to, when im depressed and starting to think ill thoughts, about all the people i have lost to suicide, for instance i have found my two best friends in the world hanging in front of my eyes, but when i am thinking of these things i go outside, and stare for hours at the sky(sometimes wishing something would just "beam" me up and away from this POS planet) and i stare at the stars in amazement and awe, its quite beautiful sometimes, but i got these instincts from these mere "tellivison shows" but really it was Genes vision that did that for me, so i only enjoy TOS and TNG, but over all TNG eats the Whole Damn Spacecake, and then starts to feel whoozy hehehe but the cast on TNG is as solid as any ST series could ever have, and Picard (Patrick Stewart) is the glue, or (Icing) on that Masta Spacecake, hes really amazing at expressing those hard-to act emotions whooo. ok im done thank you Yours Truly Brad Rosser

I've always prefered TNG, though these days I watch DS9 and Enterprise.

fefe says:

I love Star Trek TNG and love the TNG characters best out of any Star Trek series. My favorite is Data, the android. Star Trek TOS is also fun to watch, but if I have to pick one of the two I pick TNG! I am looking forward to seeing what other people say as I'm sure you have better reasoning than me!

Star Trek: TOS

The Original Series is my first love (in the ST world anyway)

ashroc says:

All of the Star Trek incarnations have their good points, but the original series is the best.

WritingforYourWealth says:

I was watching ToS in syndication when I was a kid and wasn't too sure about TNG when it came out. I've grown to appreciate it more as an adult, but I never found that any of the successive series had the same Kirk, McCoy, Spock character chemistry, so I'll put my vote down for the original series. :)

johndilbeck says:

I like everything related to Star Trek, but I was in high school when the original series came out and it remains my favorite.

I just finished watching the entire Enterprise series on DVD from Netflix and enjoyed it as well.

For some reason I never really clicked with DS9.

When I get the time, I'm going to watch the entire TNG series from Netflix. I'm looking forward to seeing all the episodes I missed.

Live long and prosper!
