[QUOTE]Originally posted by AndrewR: [QB] Despite this thread/talk - I still think TNG was GREAT. The characters I still love and I can still watch an episode - CAPTIVATED when it is repeated. While we might not have gone all 'troi' on knowing the insides of each character - we did get growth and change. We did get to know enough about these characters to CARE what happened to them. Voyager on the other-hand - we knew next to NOTHING about them, and what we did was constantly changed. So how could you form any sort of emotional attatchment to them? I would say maybe only the Doctor was the only one that you could empathise/feel/know on that show. With Voyager as a whole - it's like reading a novel and having the characters change in each chapter. Change not as in growing but change as in fundamentally WHO they are to begin with. Voyager never set the ground work. We never knew where they were coming from. I think I have an article from the start of Voyager where Berman and Braga (not so much Jeri Taylor) didn't want to know ANYTHING about Janeway or Chakotay or Tuvok or Kim etc. Life before "Caretaker" - to be that is just ludicrous. More episodes like the superb "Gravity" showing that TUVOK wasn't this emotionally staid person we've always seen him to be would have been fantastic. He just became another 'person' though. The brilliance of the relationship that was shown in Year of Hell between him and Seven (her carrying/guiding him through the hall) and him being the 'emotional rock' for Janeway was really fantastic. It just evaporated like one of Guinan's fancy drinks from "Time's Arrow". I remember one of my questions to Ken Biller I think?? was answered at Trek Web about bringing that relationship between Tuvok and Seven back - he said no... cause their voices were both monotone. :rolleyes: [/QB][/QUOTE]
