Well, they only want the show to keep momentum and not chop its hands off by leaving the mysterious and vast Delta quad. Romulan space must be hellaboring. Everything is either dead or confiscated.
I for one am going to feel a bit empty and sad when the last Trek-show of the twentieth century ends. Voyager's had some damn good episodes, and if the end is as good as WYLB was then I'll be happy, in some sense.

The last good Trek show of the twentieth-century was Star Trek: Deep Space Nine

Actually, you are correct, seeing as how Voyager will end in the 21st century, so the only last Star Trek series of the 20th century is DS9.

I believe what they are trying to bring attention to, is that Voyager spent the majority of it's "on-air" life in the twentieth-century. So it would be a 20th century TV show -- not 21st.
But it still sucks my left testicle.

But this thread is not "Who can say that Voyager sucks the most?", but rather an introspective look as to why people (some, not all) were apparently disillusioned with the state of Voyager episodes.

TOS was very much focused on a ship eploring very near earth space, In TOS they rarely ventured 75 light years from Earth.
TNG ventured beyond the space explored by Kirk in TOS. In TNG They even ventured outside of Federation Space and into many unexplored sectors of space. In TNG they even managed to make Federation space grow mostly Coreward and Rimward.
DS9 actually focused on a former war torn region close to where the Enterprise had been. DS9 was probaly the most Character lead series as TNG mostly focused on new aliens and Cultures. In DS9 We focused on ONE Culture and the after effects of a planet held under an oppressive regiem. We also had a regular window into another part of the galaxy and a threat which only The Borg could match in The Dominion.
VOY was the most different as the crew and ship were SNATCHED from everything they knew and were decades away from Federation Space at high Warp. the reason's Voyager has had no continutity as VOY was going to be seen covering light years between each episode. The reason The Borg as seen as much is because VOY writers want to show there is NO escape from them.

That's a new one. I need a big lamp-thingy, I suppose.
Although, I also don't get it. So if you could explain that would = good.

You mean that UM is going to retire in a completely non-obvious storyline? Honest? I didn't guess from about, ooh, part 1?
Even if the tecnically didn't go as far out in TOS as they did in TNG, TOS had MUCH more the feeling of exploring the unknown. In TNG, they were usually in Federation space. Or just ferrying people about.

Well then. Now it makes more sense. Well, no it doesn't. But I can say it does. So I will. It makes sense. May this forever end all comparisons of me to any commisioner of any kind in the future. Amen.

Loved them when I was 9. Then it went to hell. The timing of the jokes are sometimes soo pathetic, and when Guttenberg left, it became worse than pathetic. There's not one actor in all of those movies whose career got better after them movies...except for Guttenberg. I saw Bubba Smith in that horrible "Silence Of The Hams", that's it.
