    Ironically the DS9 crew, aided by their numerous trips through the wormhole, covered several times greater distances throughout the series than either Enterprise or Voyager.

        Are Vulcans cheating with strength and resilience? Sisko was half wormhole alien and only could traverse those distances because of his relations.

      Although the Enterprise in The Next Generation still takes the cake for nearly leaving the universe.

      Voyager might also count if you include them jumping billions of years of time-distance thanks to Q meddling getting them tossed back and forth.

        I haven’t seen Voyager recently though to comment on that series, but you’re right about STNG (I had forgotten about the Traveler). The Enterprise wins.

    I avoided DS9 for decades thinking it would have to suck. It didn’t. I highly suggest a first play through of only Dominion War episodes. Then the characters grow on you. You wonder why anyone tolerates the mean Kai. So then you watch it in order.

    Every series since TOS has always been a variation of “going where no one has gone before”.

    TNG started at Farpoint and initially was supposed to be exploring the unexplored.

    DS9, while being a space station, was still located at the wormhole to the Gamma Quadrant, an unexplored region of space for Starfleet

    VOY hit the other corner by being thrown into the far end of the Delta Quadrant

    ENT was chosen to predate TOS so that would genuinely be where no one had gone yet.

      Since they usually find aliens there, ‘no man’ makes more sense.

      English has been using ‘man’ for all humanity for centuries.

    What if cinematic? What if action? What if diverse? What if goofy? What if old? What if young? Oh no. You cracked the secret!
