Voyager was the worst???? Get outta here!!!
I'm an old timer. I remember when the first series aired! I have ORIGINAL autographed Shatner and Nimoy press photos that NBC would send out to us kids back then.
I know good Trek when I see it!
Voyager is in a class by itself. All the other series had fleets of starships and Starfleet to back them up. Voyager just had themselves against everybody and their third cousin. That's what made Voyager stand out. They actually had to solve problems instead of having to rely on Starfleet and databanks. Janeway to me isn't the best captain but the most real captain. She kept her principles and integrity together and didn't fall in love with every alien dude that came along. Her story is almost as bittersweet as Siskos. Sisko to me wasn't a captain. He was an admiral not recognized. All the shit he went through and it took them years to make him a captain and then they didn't even upgrade him to admiral. That sucked.
Voyager focused on the crew. Should have been more but they were up against a dozen or more advanced hostile species. Heck, the Borg alone was enough. That fight with Species 8472 would have been enough.
Ever notice that no matter when, whenever Chakotay or anybody flew a shuttle it would either crash, get captured? Soon as a show opened up with a shuttlecraft and a conversation took place on that shuttlecraft as soon as the coversation ended some shit would happen?
Look at Janeway. She's about to get engaged, she goes on her first mission with a brand new starship and gets sent to the other side of the galaxy. Then she strands her crew there. Then she falls for her first officer Chakotay yet she rescues a Borg woman whom Chakotay ends up falling in love with. She gave up a lot for 7 of 9.
Voyager is a great series.
