So, I'm the only fan of DS9?

No I like DS9, but then again I like all the Trek incarnations.
I would have to say that TOS is the best as it was the first. It was very daring for the time as it broached a lot of hot topics, but disguised them as allegories. The episode 'Arena' where Kirk fights the Gorn was predicting the Israeli settlement issue before Israeli had set up its first in the West Bank. Well not exactly, but you get my point.
It also predicted desktop computers, cell phones, cd rom, and stealth technology.
And I always love how the past saw the future. Whether its TOS, vintage Flash Gordon, or Art Deco, it was the way the people of the time thought the future was going to be. All predictions saw themselves as cutting edge, yet seem so innocent, if not archaic now. TOS was predicting the future yet looks so 1960s now with the velour shirts, surf riffs, and Checkov's mod haircut.
And those green babes were hot.
