Each drone is like a finger in your body.... mindless on its own, but a useful part of the whole. Always finding the most efficient way to solve a problem and drawing upon countless cubic meters of grey matter neatly coupled with CPU power! Accept your only purpose is too force other being who want to be a cubic meter into being . As for playing with beings that would get boring fast.

Those were very interesting characters at the outset, but the writers wore them out.

Don't get me wrong, I did like the whole thing, I just preferred the end where I was pretty much on the edge of my seat for episode after episode. Gotta say though, I found the whole Bajoran storyline (and race) very boring so those were the episodes I dreaded the most; bit too 'spiritual' and mundane for my liking...and on similar lines anything when they enacted basically some period drama in the holosuite... ie I want spaceships and stuff in my Star Trek, not historical dramas... so those were the other episodes I dreaded 
Anyway I saw TNG a long time ago when I was a teenager, DS9 more recent than that. Probably only seen one or two random episodes of TOS... I dunno, Kirk just gets on my nerves but that's probably more from the image I have of him now than what he was like in TOS... nowadays he just seems sleazy in everything I've seen him in, which granted isn't much. But I did like The Voyage Home film (the one with the whales) so that's basically... apart from a few Tribbles ... my only experience of TOS. Voyager as well, I've only seen a few episodes of, and the one after that, with the guy from Quantum Leap, I haven't seen any of at all... it just looks a bit too modern and un-Star Trek-like for me... iow there's comfort in the corniness

I love the original it had some really stand out episodes on "Eugenics" Racism " Class warfare" The cold war" Slavery" Proxy wars " And best take downs of religion i have seen "
I hated season 1 of TNG. But 3 on was excellent . Seeing Data's quest to be human . Worf walking the line between two very different cultures. And Picard in his many guises , Artist ,Diplomat, Warrior, Oralitor , Guide, Leader, has always been awesome .
DS9 took a season grow on me . But it earns it's title as the most human Star Trek .
Voyager I actually liked . Not all of it but i liked many of the characters and from season 2 on . it just clicked .
Enterprise was boring Season 1 but by 4 i loved it .

I always saw Bajorans in DS9 as nothing but professional victims.
Yes, they had a hard time during the occupation, but it seemed they just loved to milk that for all it was worth.
Two Bajorans I had time for were Ro Laren and the guy who was a legendary war hero but did nothing more than "shoot a naked man".

Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra. That is what is spoken of... in the sermon on the mount. And the parable of the good sem-MER-ton.

Kate Mulgrew as Captain Janeway. Worst.Acting.Ever. It's the main obstacle I have to liking Voyager.

Check out the clips from the woman she replaced in the role.
Far worse.
