Order sorted chronologically, though, there’s a decent argument to be made fitting each member’s personality.

And yes, I will count ENT as the tail-end of the “golden era,” seeing as VOY’s finale was 5/23/01, with ENT’s debut on 9/26/01. Pretty short refractory period, if you ask me.

    ENT is underrated. Yeah a little rough at times, but which series isn’t. Every day I’m angry that we didn’t get more seasons and get to watch the birth of the Federation.

    Also, while TOS has a special place in my heart and in Trek fandom, it has not aged well for many reasons.

    I just clicked in specifically to chastise you for assigning TNG to Mikey of all turtles!

      Mikey is the goofiest, but arguably the most skilled. Of the four weapons, he is using the hardest to master.

        That’s a very good point, but I feel like it would just lead to an argument about which series (DS9) is somehow objectively “best” (it’s DS9), and that’s really not the sort of argument I’m here to start (because it’s obviously DS9).

          I agree with DS9 being the best, but Mikey was not the best. He was the most skilled. Captain Sisko and crew were not the most skilled, when compared to TNG crew. Sisko wasn’t even a Captain at the start of the series. Data, La Forge, Picard, Riker, and Troi were arguable more “skilled” in areas.

        True, early TNG would be a better fit. And I get that having any other series in the leftmost spot feels wrong.

        Still, I’d have to go with:

        • TNG = Leonardo
        • DS9 = Donatello
        • VOY = Michelangelo
        • ENT = Raphael

        I’m lazy or I’d add a third row to the meme that has the turtles ushering a scaled-down copy of the second row into the distance.
        Because, you know… It’s turtles all the way down.
