Yeah... when did Star Trek become a generic sci-fi action thing?

With Voyager and DS9.

Hey now, DS9 was TV gold. And Voyager was good for at least the first season.

what made it great was its masterful use of science-fiction as a vehicle for social commentary, philosophical questions, etc. ...  Also, it shifted between deeper themes and generic science-fiction.

You just described here exactly why DS9 is my favorite Trek. Tongue

By modern standards, the original Star Trek is a fairly lightweight piece of drama, but for its time it was a fairly cerebral television show. (At least during the first two seasons it was. The less said about the third, the better.)

You can just pretend it doesn't exist like I do with Nemesis!

1. The very best episode of any Trek is DS9's "In the Pale Moonlight"

2. My favorite fan theory is that Wesley Crusher is Picard's illegitimate child

3. The fact that TNG is almost purely episodic is not inherently a bad thing
