        Never liked VOY, writing is poor… Not interesting sci-fi like TNG, not a captivating story like DS9…
        The Doctor is essentially the only good part. Maybe Seven of Nine, Jery Ryan is a great actress, despite the embarrassing clothing.

        SNW is good, DIS is whack. PIC essentially crapped all over the past series’ development, killed Hugh, Ro, Icheb, made the Federation grimdark… Monk Worf was cool tho.

          Voyager’s writing is inconsistent. There’s some fantastic episodes… and then there’s salamanders.

            I’m watching Voyager with my kids. Janeway is pretty bad ass given her position as the sole federation representative in the delta sector. We are however using a watchlist and skipping the filler episodes rather than going for the completionist approach.

              Janeway has Q powers, she gets into all kinds of shit she has no chance of getting out, and she just… does, somehow. It’s really bad writing… Plus Voyager is ALWAYS getting disabled! WTF, you guys should stay away from encounters, that ship is made of glass… even tho they, again, succeed somehow in the end.

      This is the good take. Star Trek peaked at DS9 and there’s yet to be a good reason to continue past it.

          Ah yes, “my opinion is infallible and I’m righteous for screaming it from the rooftops, but your opposing opinion is ignorant and worthy of dismissal!”

          Red flag indeed, friend.

      As long as you don’t take every available opportunity to steer every single online conversation towards how you don’t like a tv show then we’re cool

          But they did share it and were cool about it. It’s people who say stuff like “this is shit and people who like it are shit” that need to cool their jets.
