Every Star Trek Show Ranked Worst To Best

The Star Trek saga has spread out over 50 years of television. And while it's true every Star Trek series has its high points and rough patches, there are some that come out far, far better than the others. Here's a totally subjective, and completely accurate, ranking of every Star Trek show from worst to best.

When the Next Generation era of Star Trek came to an end in 2001, doing a show like Enterprise probably made a lot of sense. The franchise had spent over a decade chronicling what happened in the century after the original show, and since prequels were all the rage, going back to show humanity's first steps into space undoubtedly seemed like a great idea.

Sadly, Enterprise proved that the distance between "seemed like a good idea" and "was a good idea" is so vast that even warp speed can't get you there in four seasons. To be fair, the show eventually did get around to some solid storytelling. Perhaps surprisingly, it was at its best with plots about time travel and mirror universes. The two-parter where they go back in time to fight Nazi aliens during World War II, for instance, is a hoot, and exactly the flavor of Star Trek's signature weirdness that was pioneered by the original series. Getting to those, however, is a trial. Despite its strong premise, Enterprise spent most of its run switching off between bad and boring, and sometimes managed to be both at the same time.

The worst part, aside from that awful theme song, is that the show is just embarrassingly horny, and for Star Trek, that's saying something. Sex appeal has been a part of the franchise ever since green women were belly dancing for Captain Kirk back in the '60s, but Enterprise was at a whole new level, throwing in as many scenes of sexy decontamination chamber rub-downs into those first few episodes as it could. Maybe that's why they had the whole thing turn out to be one of Riker's holodeck simulations in the finale. If anyone's going to program in some uncomfortable bathing scenes into a historical document, it's that dude.
