We must be close to the same age. I was there in the beginning with the pilot show.
The biggest problems with the latest projects has been that Berman is not Roddenberry. Simple fact.
The best Roddenberry show on now is “Andromeda.”
Series ratings (and these are contraversial:
#1 Voyager: Most novelty: premise, crew composition, plot possibilities, newest aliens, mega-Borg, best replacement: Seven-of-Nine. Horrible ending.
#2 STNG: Best crew, best ST actor:(Spiner), Best Captain: Picard, timeliness
#3 Star Trek: Class in itself, the most innovative series of its time and for decades to come
#4 Enterprise: Too early to tell
#5 DS9: Best alien: Odo; unfulfilled potential; trite premise
Series I would like to see: Kirk in Star Fleet Academy

Voyager may actually be my least favorite, although I agree that the jury is still out on Enterprise.
And in re: Berman, et al v. Roddenberry–there is something to that, except that TNG got quite a bit better in season 2, after Roddenberry took a less central role. And Gene was a bit too interested in this idea that humans were moving toward perfection, and hence wanting less conflict amongst the TNG crew.
Ah well, ’tis late and so more on this will have to wait.
