Gowron.

Voyager, otherwise 10 forward. The TOS era recreation room is good too.

I also would much rather have all new star trek characters and stories, and much less nostalgia (or none at all), however, sometimes a bit of nostalgia or cameos can be fun too.

Also, with the kelvin timeline movies, some of DIS, and especially SNW featuring the original TOS characters, I really think it's time for star trek to stop featuring the original TOS characters as main characters in shows (as great as they are). They can never make a show that's as great as TOS, or characters that are as great as the original TOS actors that played them. PRO seems to be featuring a lot of VOY characters, which is fun, but isn't really new, or particularly original or creative.

I slightly prefer TOS the cage, because it's the complete talos iv story, and has extra scenes with pike and the enterprise crew. However, I really like kenney's portrayal as pike in TOS the menagerie, and TOS the menagerie has a pretty good story too.

Interesting question. I generally don't like reboots (especially with the original cast when they're much older), but if a VOY reboot was made by someone other than the current production teams, then yes, I'd like a new VOY show with the original cast, because VOY is one of my favorite shows, but any new show with the VOY cast probably would never be nearly as good as the original VOY. Maybe just a limited, one season special supplementary season would be better than a whole new show.

Interesting. I never knew about that.

Yeah, true. If you're interested in khan, then watching TOS space seed first, followed by TWOK, then the other episodes might be the best way to get introduced to the augments (and khan specifically), to watch everything in the original release order (my preferred and recommended way), or you can start with the ENT episodes like borderland, or cold station 12 if you want to watch everything in the chronological in universe order.

@Scyphi yeah, I agree. If I remember correctly from reading some production notes about the d'deridex's design or something like that a while ago, it was originally intended to be able to be used as a carrier ship, with smaller ships or shuttles in its empty hull space, but like you mentioned, it was never shown like that in canon.

Anyways, my apologies to @Chumleeofborg86, since this discussion seems like it's gotten a bit off topic.

I agree with @Scyphi. I also prefer star trek to have more of a variety of truly alien looking species, but I understand from a production perspective, and also from an acting perspective, why it's more practical to have human looking species.

@JMills095 and @Scyphi which version of the t'liss (vas hatham, 23rd century) bird of prey (TOS, PIC, LD, or SNW) do you prefer, and why? Also, do you also like the ENT vas hathem (22nd century), and why?

@Scyphi just to add to your comments (without trying to change your opinion, of course) one of the production reasons for the d'deridex's empty hull space, apparently is so that smaller ships and shuttles can use that space to dock with the d'deridex, be protected by its shields, and to load and unload cargo more easily. It also makes the ship look bigger, and more powerful and more formidable.

Good question. I just watch whichever episodes I'm in the mood to watch. I don't really have any special way to watch them. Sometimes I like to watch whichever ones are playing on TV. If I'm feeling really creative, I might watch a few episodes with a similar theme.

D'deridex. It's fully featured, powerful, and has a cool, unique, and elegant design.
