How did the different Star Trek series evolve and which one do you most admire or like?

Of all the incarnations of Star Trek, the one that I admire most is the very first one. It was the beginning, and the hardest one to do. Each of the subsequent series had that original series template to work from.

Each had its own strength. Next Generation had an incredibly exciting cast and showed that Star Trek could live on after the first series. Deep Space 9 is well known for its characterisation. It delved into aspects of character which made it, for me very distinct, and a really enjoyable experience.

Voyager kind of took advantage of the fact that it was the last in that line, and was a very smart show and more of an adventure show. It touched on some aspects of the original series, and because the ship was lost, it had characters off centre a bit, which is always good for drama. It didn�t have the Federation to fall back on. I consider all the shows facets of the original diamond, which was the original series.
