    Currently I have one season left of Deep Space Nine, and three seasons left of Voyager.
    So far my favorite characters are:

    1. Leonard McCoy
    2. Spock
    3. Admiral Ackbar
    4. Data
    5. Rockshard Phd
    6. Geordi La Forge
    7. Quark
    8. Phil Coulson
    9. Julian Bashir
    10. Seventy Nine

    I think my biggest issue with DS9 and Voyager so far is that these crews are always in peril, always going through dangerous scenarios. Few episodes offer interesting thought experiments or moral dilemmas. Sometimes an episode will involve an interesting premise, but rather than give it any in-depth exploration, the show tries to shadow it in mystery, saving a twist reveal for the end of the episode. This disappoints me. This isn't the Star Trek I enjoy.

    Maybe when Star Trek becomes fully serialized, I'll find something else to enjoy in it. Right now I feel like I'm watching a shallow imitation of TOS or TNG.

    I've finished Voyager S2, and am close to ending S4 of DS9. So far I think I prefer Voyager. Has some pretty cool episodes. Death Wish and Tuvix :( stood out, at the end of the second season.

    I hope when I get to the newer shows, fewer of the aliens will be "humans, but with ridges on their nose, forehead, or chin."
    My favorite one was "humans, but wearing corsets."
    (To be fair, I think they also had ridges on their noses)

      Editing … I'm disappointed that Voyager and DS9 have so many action-oriented episodes. I want more episodes where they ask questions like, is Data a person or an object? Should women be allowed to vote? Is Wesley a person or an object? Can a country vulcan and an emo klingon really be friends? I don't really dig the thrills of space warfare in Star Trek.

    I've finished S5 of TNG, which means that next I get to see S1 of DS9, before continuing on to TNG S6. Gonna be rad.

      Editing … I think before DS9 though, I'm gonna see the 2018-2019 seasons of Arrowverse. I'm still on those! But between seasons, I'm watching other shows, including all the DC series' that I know cross over into Crisis. Except the Birds of Prey series, that was trash, dropped it after a couple episodes. Smallville, oh man, that show's great. Got one season left of it.

      Editing … Wait are you talking about that early 2000s Birds of Prey series? Yikes that show was damn near unwatchable. Like I'm pretty fed up with cape shit these days, particularly the TV variety, but even though I generally find it derivative and dull, it's still leagues above a lot of what we used to get.

      Editing … Man, I loved me some Smallville. I'm gonna be watching that at some point, along with maybe the 1990's Flash (which I have never seen). I'm only on Season 2 of Arrow, so I know I have a long, long, long while to go before reaching Crisis. I'm trying to avoid key spoilers for the Arrowverse itself, but which shows cross over? It'd be good to check them out myself. I'm planning on watching Swamp Thing which I THINK is supposed to be only loosely connected, so it'd be good to know which ones are more heavilly referenced. My wife is watching Arrow with me, so I'm using the time in between our joint viewings to watch other DC shows.

      Editing … Shows that cross over include the '90s Flash, Smallville, Birds of Prey, Black Lightning, also 1989 Batman in some way? And it'd help to watch Superman Returns. The DC Universe shows get referenced, but I don't think any characters actually appear. I bet a shot of them flies past the screen or something.

    I started watching Star Trek during Favslist's downtime. Watching everything in order, both shows and movies, currently between TNG S3 and S4. God I hate Wesley.
    I can't wait to sort my favorite characters once I'm fully caught up ;)
    So far McCoy, Spock, Data, and Geordi are my top four, in descending order.

    "In the original concepts for the show, Spock was a Martian, not a Vulcan. Roddenberry changed his mind, though. As Wikipedia explains, "Due to Roddenberry's concern that a Mars landing might take place before the end of the series, Spock's home planet was changed." To date, that concern has not come true."
