Original Series all the way for me, baby (even some of the infamous Third Season), right down to the cardboard sets and cocktail-waitress uniforms for a third of the crew. TNG was OK. The Original Series crossovers, especially Tribble-ations, would not have worked with any of the spinoffs, I think, because DS9 was closest in spirit to the original Trek ... adventure with a sense of when it was time to put tongue in cheek. (Cripes, Picard would have tried to call in the SPCA to find adoptive homes for each of the 1,771,561 tribbles on Station K-7).
Mr_Rose:
No he wouldn't.
Well, Farpoint Picard might have.
Best of Both Worlds Picard would have fixed his goddamn sensors in record time and beamed the infiltrator off the station without ever leaving his seat.
All Good Things... Picard would have done exactly what Sisko did, except he would have got Spock's autograph at the end then swung by Romulus on the way home to ask that Spock why he never mentioned the incident the last three times they met.

THERE WAS A CAT ON THE STAIRS AND I'M ALLERGIC.
I did like the reboot, though. Considering Trek's remarkably loose canon, I can live with yet another alternate universe. Maybe it's the QCverse's 23rd Century.

I'm just watching this stuff for the first time right now, but I also don't really get worked up about spoilers if it's beyond a certain age or degree of fame.
Penny Arcade did a strip on the topic once.
Basically that time my brother spoiled that second last Harry Potter book the day after it came out was a kick in the pants. If someone exposes me to vital plot information for The Lord of the Rings though I'm hardly gonna be offended.
Now that we're talking about it though, if I might ask a question of those who understand these things. "The Measure of a Man" left me a little confused about Starfleet.
Am I to understand that they are both the lawmakers and the law enforcers?

Only within Starfleet itself. That is, they have something roughly equivalent to the UCMJ wherein legal issues regarding fleet personnel and property are handled by senior fleet personnel.
There is apparently some manner of parity recognition and/or jurisprudence within the greater Federation such that Starfleet and the civilian authorities can establish precedent in each others courts though.
(In the Voyager episode Author, Author!, which deals with a similar situation, you see a civilian authority presiding over a case involving civilians)
