To be fair, I’d say cowboy appearances would be relatively proportional to the population, maybe 1 or 2% of each series… Except DS9, which has a bit of an Alamo obsession.

Should come as no surprise the folks stationed on DS9 were obsessed with the defense of a lone fortress against impossible odds.

The difference being that the Federation was there by consent of the Bajorans and didn't proceed to seize the entire area from its rightful owner. 😂

Like Gul Dukat, James Bowie and William Travis came to impose slavery on the native population.

The battle of the Alamo is presented as tragedy but the fact is the good guys won.

I think TOS had as many mobster episodes as it did cowboy episodes.

It had an oddly large amount of episodes involving ancient Mediterranean civilizations, though… Those darn Greeks/Romans taking over our Trek!

Did Voyager or Discovery ever have cowboys?

In cowboy times they went to Fairhaven, Ireland instead.

Guess Tom Paris prefers horseless carriages.

Maybe not literally, but the season 3 episode where Discovery arrived in the future went hard on the western vibes. I think they even included swinging saloon doors at one point.
