200. I'm a bit surprised that DS9 ranked higher then Voyager.

Jul 2015

Admittedly, I'm suprised that DS9 made the list at all and that Enterprise was left off. Really, I was expecting the opposite - Enterprise gets on the list, though at a low number, and DS9 doesn't make it.

Considering how well S5 of Fringe went over, I'm suprised it ranked as high as it did.
