[QUOTE]Originally posted by Omega: [QB] The differences might not be that great on an individual episode basis. But they're vast on an overall series basis. The DS9 characters made decisions that made sense, and were affected by what happened from one episode to the next. Most of them were distinctly different people at the end of the series than they were at the beginning. (Especially Dax.) On Voyager there was no character development to speak of, except the Doctor for the first few years. Even Seven of Nine, who seemed to have a new step in exploring her humanity every three weeks, hardly changed at all. Of course, the same complaint could be leveled at TNG. But TNG came first, and was unique for its time, and probably handled its subject matter better. Oh, and Patrick Stewart. Really, Voyager and Enterprise were just been copying TNG, which followed a writing style that has since been mostly surpassed. The anthology-with-continuing-characters approach can still work, of course, but you have to a) have a setting that supports it, and b) have characters and actors that can hold your attention even when the story doesn't. Voyager had none of a, and little of b. DS9 was a completely different animal. [/QB][/QUOTE]
