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 just clicked in specifically to chastise you for assigning TNG to Mikey of all turtles!
Mikey is the goofiest, but arguably the most skilled. Of the four weapons, he is using the hardest to master.
That’s a very good point, but I feel like it would just lead to an argument about which series (DS9) is somehow objectively “best” (it’s DS9), and that’s really not the sort of argument I’m here to start (because it’s obviously DS9).
I agree with DS9 being the best, but Mikey was not the best. He was the most skilled. Captain Sisko and crew were not the most skilled, when compared to TNG crew. Sisko wasn’t even a Captain at the start of the series. Data, La Forge, Picard, Riker, and Troi were arguable more “skilled” in areas.
Fair enough, that is pretty solid logic. I’ll leave the heartfelt meme alone now.
