How did Star Trek Voyager last 7 seasons ?

[jwyblejr]

Voyager has to be the one series that I can't remember anything about the episodes. The only one that I do is the one with Sulu.

Voyager was definitely not in the class of DS9 as far as depth and storylines, but it was always good for a few good, interesting eps every season. Character-wise, I think the Doctor was easily the best played and most interesting character. Robert Picardo did a masterful and humorous job, and really the Doctor is the only Voyager character that we saw a significant amount of actual development with over all 7 seasons.

My second favorite character would have to be 7 of 9, I guess. Not only was Ryan gorgeous, she did a fantastically understated job of playing a challenging role. And since the writers/creative team was obviously taken with her, we got more than a fair share of good eps concentrating on her.

The rest of the cast I'm pretty MEH about, and I can't say I actually disliked any of them, tho Paris and Kes were easily my least favorites.

Take away her fake jugs, and you'll be forced to look at her face -- she's not all that pretty.[/QUOTE]

Yea right. She made the show worth watching.

I hated it!!!
Worst Trek EVER!!!
Janeway was crap the show was crap the writing was crap.It was just Crap!!!
The only redeeming quality was 7 of 9 period!!!
Maybe later I'll tell you all how I really feel about this crappy show.

One of the most eloquent and detailed reviews of Voyager I have ever read...I agree with every word...especially the Crap!!! part.
Worst Trek ever indeed, with DS9 running close behind.

The premise had a lot of potential. It could have truly brought back the feeling of being alone on the final frontier....instead it became an even more boring rehash of TNG. I would have tossed the Starfleet/Maquis story line, and dealt with a crew and ship that was really alone. Without the benefits of Starbases and allied worlds to fall behind. The Captain should have really felt the pressure to maintain some kind of order amongst the crew, while finding ways to not only get home, but just survive in the first place. Seeking out resources, and trade partners. Finding clues and directions for home.
That ship should have looked like a patchwork quilt made out of anything and everything by the time it finally made it home!!!

I thought Voyager would be your favorite because of Chakotay.



Actor Robert Beltran is a Mexican indian.

Yep, that's still my favorite Chakotay the Mexican-Indian guy! Thanks for LMK who is he for sure.

I saw Robert Beltran on the first released in 1984 called "Mystic Warrior" on the TV last 13 yrs ago. I copied that 2 VSH tapes in longest hours!

You're too funny all about that guys.

Voyager is half suck but when my TV guide don't have speical shows that make me borning, so I picked that 1 left and watching it. I like the Enterprise and DS9 are good but I like TOS and TNG are the best in my book.

It was dry toast bland!

What the hells wrong with dry toast???

This dry toast persecution has to end.

Sorry I liked Voyager too. Not as much as the Next Gen but it was OK.

for the most part, I have enjoyed all Star Trek shows...seen them all, loved some, tolerated others, but overall, happy to have seen them

Weakest of all the Trek shows, for sure.

The weakest by far was Enterprise...come on now.

I was never a big fan of Jeri Ryan

You are nuts, lol.

One of my least liked characters on Voyager was Janeway herself.

She just didn't seem like a Star Fleet captain.
She seemed more like an office person at the pentagon -- like Kirk would say, a chair bound paper-pusher.

She was all about regulations and duty -- which is usually the sign of someone who don't know what it's like to be out IN THE FIELD.

If Kirk was out there .... in less then a year, he'd have forgotten all about Starfleet.

I think Janeway's character was written very poorly.

>Trek fans are all geeks with no girlfriends , right ? .... Let's bring in a big boobed babe ....

HAW! I suspect you're right, especially when you see how... pronounced... they were with the second costume.

I couldn't watch it when it first aired; it was REALLY boring, but I watched it last year beginnign to end. (It was on when I got up for work.) And I gotta say the show was a near miss. They had a lot of good ideas, but they didn't carry through with any of them. So.... half the crew is Starfleet half terrorists; and the conflict lasts exactly an episode and a half? And Paris is the cocky rebel guy for.... I dunno if he ever really WAS. we were TOLD that (and he was in Starfleet Prision at the beginning) but he never really did anything rebellious. McCoy was a bigger rebel!

It didn't help that the characters were all functional; they served a purpose plot-wise but were never really characters. Janeway was the worst, since she had whatever skill or talent was needed for the crew to win. She could fly a shuttle, fix the engines, rebuild an alien society, and even helped the doc with an operation in one episode! And we were never shown if she was an uber-mind, or if it was bad writing. Even if some of the crew was surprised by her skill at some point, it woulda let us know how to take her.

And when they DID start getting into characters (in the last few seasons) the character stuff never went anywhere. Like when Neelix died and the afterlife wasn't what he'd expected. By the end of the episode he STILL hadn't resolved how he felt, and it all went away. Or when Chakotay and 6 of 9 hooked up. It came out of nowhere, for no real reason.

On the upside, the kid wasn't irritating. She was smart, but still a kid. (Like how she'd send the captain her reports every week; and the crew was laughing 'cos she was trying, but they were completely wrong. If that was Wesley they'd follow the correct format, have ways to rewire the ship and advance the tech level every week, AND still be ignored by the crew.)

All told, it always seemed like they were trying to hard, and for doing so missed the mark.
