[QUOTE]Originally posted by Reverend: [QB] Those were the least of Voyager's problems, though they are symptoms of the greater problems. That is a tendency for this to be superficially "cool" without the thought to make it belivable or superficially "topical", again without the will to really look into it the issies. Actually the hologram rights thing is a good example since there are several problems with that story. First, as you say, it's old terratory that's already been covered with Data, second the idea of holograms being used for mining operations is patently silly and thirdly, the idea that they'd be using Zimmerman's image is ridiculous and probably a violation of his human rights. Instead, what they probably should have explored is the very nature of artificial intellegence, as the fact that they're holograms is neither here nor there since they are the same no matter what computer they are stored/processed through. That leads you into areas of thought like the seperation of mind and body, the ability to exist as an individual consiousness without a physical precence....but then perhaps it'd turn into an episode of Ghost in the Shell. ;) Something else that bothered me about Voyager after watching my DS9 DVDs is that in seven seasons, they could never stick with or follow through with anything. The rate at which they went through bad guys aside (they were on the move after all) out of all the crew, I don't think we got to know anyone's backstory in any detail. The characters themselves changed like the wind, with Janeway swinging from one extreme to the next...ok, I better stop now before I get into full ranting mode. I suppose if I had only one thing to say about Voyager is that it was a missed oppertunity. [/QB][/QUOTE]
