As for the series they're all almost unwatchable because emotions are so neutered. It was better when i was a kid because i was into space and spaceships but now that i also notice crap acting and weak scripts i just can't watch a single episode. TNG is still best of course (figure that one out non-nerds).
Unwatchable?? lol. Thats simple, maybe u just dont like science fiction, thats all..
Any star trek show improves on every season, acting as well. The best example u have on TNG, that have an incredible character courve where all the actors learned season by season and u can notice that on the screen. Weak scripts??? lol, well, if u think star trek shows have weak scripts, then u should just stop watching science fiction shows, since almost all of the have even worst scripts than star trek's.. lol. TNG was precisely awarded by having the best scripts on a science fiction tv show (maybe not in the 2 first seasons, but after that...) along with many others nominations and prices. The problem of DS9, is that it had great episodes and really bad ones. And because that show was based around a religious main theme, not so many people liked it (me included) and even if for example, Voyager is worst in the first seasons than DS9, i really liked Voyager more than DS9, after the 2 first seasons. I really wanted a show more focused on action , with more interesting episodes (some episodes of voyager are really amazing, honestly) and with the Borg theme in the middle, so i really liked Voyager.
So, i must say i am really not a young person xD. And i am watching TNG again now that it is being remastered on HD and i am enjoying it A LOT. And yes, the 2 first seasons are just like an introduction, but the third season is just amazing. So, it doesnt matter if you are a kid or not, it is, u like science fiction shows or not lol. Star Trek was never oriented to kids anyways.. so a lot of the theories in the show are supossed to be experimental theories for futuristic applications, in the end you would say that Star Trek shows are maybe the most "realistic" ones xDD (just to say something.. and they are far from being realistic so... xD).
