Order sorted chronologically, though, there’s a decent argument to be made fitting each member’s personality.

And yes, I will count ENT as the tail-end of the “golden era,” seeing as VOY’s finale was 5/23/01, with ENT’s debut on 9/26/01. Pretty short refractory period, if you ask me.

    i remember seeing ENT reruns as a kid and thinking how it made TNG look ancient by comparison. all these years later with the newer series to compare to, all that stands out is the uniforms and CGI (the latter of which is also all over VOY)

      ENT always felt kind of cheap in comparison to the others here. Lots of obvious Green-Screens for example.

        at the time the green screens were what probably made it look so advanced to kid me- it’s funny/sad how those effects aged like milk but the practical effects from TNG and DS9 aged like wine

          I did a rewatch of the classic Treks up to ENT a year or two age and allocated the look of ENT to the production value beeing lower, but it makes sense that it was due to the time of its production.

          I btw rewatched classic trek in “in universe chronological order” and can recommend it as a way to engage with something you might have already seen a couple of times. I limited it to classic trek up to ENT, but there are lists with all shows:

          In case anybody is interested this is one example of an episode by episode list. (Credit to Tiberius)
