[QUOTE]Originally posted by Dukhat: [QB] OK, so it looks like this thread is turning out to be "Let's all pick a random point from each episode to preach to the choir about how bad Voyager was." Hey, I'm even guilty of it. But like Sol said, what are we really accomplishing here? If we want to have a civilized discussion about the show, fine. But we can leave the nitpicking to Phil Farrand. Here's my civilized take: :) Voyager's premise was a good one: Take a Starfleet ship and transfer it so far away from the known Trek galaxy that the show would take place in a universe far different than what we've heretofore been used to in Trek shows, while at the same time having that said crew have to make sacrifices and decisions that would possibly bring out the ugliness in the previously "perfect" 24th century man. There'd be no Klingons, Romulans, Federation, etc. A totally blank state to work with. With me so far? Good. The first few seasons of the show were not bad, although it was obvious TPTB were still trying to figure out where it was going. The most annoying thing about the show was Ethan Phillips. But the characters were being developed pretty well, especially Chakotay, whose spirituality was a unique change for the ST universe. It almost seemed that the the idea was that the use of superior technology would be abandoned in favor of a spiritual way of solving problems (at least to me). Then after the third season, almost everyone responsible for the creation of the show left, and for the rest of the series, the show went to shit. The "lost" premise was essentially dropped (to the point that Janeway would introduce herself to an alien as captain of the Federation starship Voyager, and said alien would act as if he knew what she was talking about. :confused: Shouldn't he have retorted with something of the likes of "Huh? What Federation? What the hell are you talking about, lady?") Character development dropped to zero, except for 7 of 9 and the stupid Paris/Torres marriage. Then came the Beebs, the Borg, big boobs, and Barclay/Troi, and that was the end of that... Oh, drat, I've become uncivilized again. [/QB][/QUOTE]
