This.

DS9 is still my favourite series, though Voyager and TNG are pretty good.

My favourite DS9 eps include "The Visitor", "Way of the Warrior", and the ep that I can never remember the title of where Sisko brings the Romulans into the war.

Best DS9 character is Garak, as far as I'm concerned.

Voyager was most pretty average with excellent episodes and others that are on par with TNG's "The Royale", "Shades of Grey", and "Skin of Evil" - bloody awful.

The best thing I can generally say about Enterprise is that the highlight of most shows is the end credits.

There was, however, a great two parter set in the mirror universe.  That was very well done.

But their way of playing fast ond loose with canon really bugged me.  They encountered the Borg and the Ferengi?
(my bold)
You can thank "Star Trek: First Contact" for the Borg episode of Enterprise.

If fucking with canon pisses you off, best to avoid Discovery. Warp capable shuttles way before the "first" warp capable ship of that size, the Runabout. debuted in DS9. Ships with force fields instead of hanger bay doors. A drive capable of nearly instantaneous travel between any two points, no matter how far the distance (too bad the crew of Voyager had never heard of spore drives). The show seemed to have a new ret-con in every fucking episode.

Having said that, if you take it for what it is (and what it should have been), a new sci-fi franchise that simply borrows from Trek's legacy, it's actually a pretty good show.
