What your favorite Star Trek series says about you
By Chad Porto
There’s a Star Trek series for everyone, but what does your favorite series say about you?
There are almost as many Star Trek television shows out (11) as there are films (13), so when we say that you have more than enough properties out there to watch, we’re not lying. More so, most series cater to a different crop of fans. Each show is in many ways just like another in the franchise (with a few exceptions) but also maintains its own identity.
The Original Series had adventurers, while the Next Generation were diplomats. Deep Space Nine was an outpost in the center of a galaxy war, while Voyager was a survival series in space. Each show has its own identity, and in some cases, that identity is disconnected from what Star Trek truly is.
So we’re looking at each series and figuring out what it says about your personality. To be clear, this is merely for laughs, you shouldn’t take this seriously. If you find yourself getting mad, turn off the computer, go outside, and chill.

What does your favorite Star Trek series say about you?
The Original Series
You don’t need much in this world, simply some plywood, and blinking light fixtures, and you can be entertained for hours. Or at the very least 48 non-consecutive minutes.
The Next Generation
You enjoy the original Law and Order, and the West Wing, while also finding joy in yelling at kids who play on your lawn.
Deep Space Nine
You like movies and television shows about war but don’t particularly like the fight scenes, more the emotional fallout of said fight scenes.
Voyager
You’re weirdly obsessed with The Trolley Problem and you chastise anyone who thinks saving one life is more important than multiple ones.
Enterprise
You enjoy things that age like fine wine. Like the NX-01 or Scott Bakula.
Discovery
You’re in a dysfunctional relationship you can’t let go of. Everyone knows it’s bad but if you admit it, then not only were they right but you have to accept you wasted years of your life on it.
Picard
You enjoy Law and Order: Criminal Intent, but no longer the West Wing as it’s too “preachy”. When you go to yell at kids on your lawn, you often fall asleep while standing up.
Lower Decks
You’re the person in your relationship that your spouse refers to as their “other child” but not in an endearing way.
Prodigy
You don’t know what Star Trek is, but your toddler really likes the big pink thing, so thank dog, you can now close your eyes and what do you mean it’s four hours later?
Strange New Worlds
You’ve always been weirdly attracted to big hairstyles and now you finally found a show that you can pair with your favorite musical group; Flock of Seagulls.
The Orville
You like real Star Trek.
And lastly;
The Animated Series
You’re a sadist who loves pineapple on pizza.
