I really doubt that the one thing Trek needs in order to make better episodes is more money.

DS9 is obviously the best Trek... strange because it was on a station. TNG is probably a real close #2 [episodes in the first two seasons bring it down]. TOS, forgetting it's 60s-ness, is probably third. And I can't distinguish between ENT and VOY on a level of which is better.
And yes, my opinion is my opinion.
As for Party of 5, I wouldn't know. I never really watched the show when it was on, I only know enough to recognized some of the actors and a little of the plot.

DS9 was so good because it concentrated on personal interactions and how the characters coped with events far beoyend their ability to personally affect. It's why war epics are so dramatic but the old formula of a crew exploring in a ship is so tired. They can always just leave a bad situation by warping away on a starship but when the whole quadrant's circling the bowl, theres nowhere to go.
Besides, the characters got a chance to develop gradually each episode and we didint have to be force-fed entire episodes of "all Worf and Alexander" or "all Troi and her mom" or whatever.
Personally, I much prefer TNG's first and second season to it's sixth and seventh.

You are a madman. Shades of Grey! Haven! Skin of Evil! You don't seriously prefer THAT drek to episodes like Preemptive Strike, Chain of Command and Gambit, do you? EH?

Well, no,...... but episodes of the crew devolving into monsters, space librarys making the ship and Data into a god and temple, Bev Crusher's scottish ghost story romance, anything with Alexander, Troi's long forgotten dead sister, and the episode with Worf teaching that klingon preison camp Ti-Chi all fall into my "never again" category even moreso than Skin of Evil (but possibly not as much as The Child or Shades Of Crap). Besides, I liked Pulaski more than Crusher. She's not good looking, but when she has a line, she sounds smart whereas bev has the worst Trek doctor line ever- "He's exhausted!" in BOBW when Picard is trying to tell Data how to stop the Borg. I hate her for that alone....

All those bar one are from season 7 though, which really was much worse than season 6. Although yeah, Birthright part II sucks big smelly eggs. (I quite liked "Genesis" though).
Even in amoungst the drek of season 7 though, there were still gems like "Parallels" and "The Pegasus". Which were both quality, and way better than anything season 2 produced. Apart from "Q Who". And maybe "Times Squared".

So mainly. season 7 sucked it hard. Season one and two both blew if judged together but had a couple of high points themselves: "Q Who?", "The Defector" and "Consparicy" are all personal favorites...(although The Defector might have been season three?). Season six had the horrible two parter with Picard and Riker on that Priate ship.....the horror... And it also had Descent witch officially started the Borg on the path to becoming the pussies they were in Voyager.

Remind me never to buy season seven of TNG on DVD.
Measure of a Man" was compelling (havent seen that one in a while). Even the first Moriaty episode -in season two- is worth watching (although not as often as Spike TV plays it). Can you imagine DR. Crusher in that episode instead of Pulaski? It would have completely sucked.
Seasons 3-5 seem to be the best. One disappointing thing: Picard ditched that cool uniform jacket he wore in Darmok after just a few episodes. It made his uniform look...well...more like a uniform!

And a season 7 box set would be worth it for The Pegasus", "Parallels", "All Good Things", "Preemptive Strike", and for the fact that Picard gets chatted up by a man.

DId he? I cant recall him using it but a few times...and then with no rhyme or reason. I like it: it was imposing.
As to the season seven good episodes: I have em' all on video already. Not worth $100 for better picture clarity on three episodes.
Paticularly when I'm only up to season five of DS9...
