If it weren’t for tuvok and the doctor I don’t think I could have finished that series. It’s the only trek I’ve never really rewatched too. Not counting the modern shows.
Comment on Star Trek: DS9 Was "Never Going To Go Into A Movie" Says Kira Actor
Melco@lemmy.world 8 months agoWow I have to agree with this. Voyager episodes often start out with am interesting premise, the show progresses too slowly then in the last 2 minutes: “I have to go now my planet needs me.” and the episode is over instantly.
The writing is horribly unsatisfying.

Ohh man, the “demon planet” melting voyager clone episode really set my teeth on edge with this.
Super interesting premise, the metal clones fly out on their own ship, invent/discover new tech that is super useful, almost get home, but then begin to melt. People die, tom gets dark and broody in a realistic way, but then as its getting good and they all start to die. They super warp home to the devil planet but they realize they arent going to mske it, so they fire off a “stable bouy” about who they are/what they learned. By pure, totally realistic happenstance, this buoy both doesn’t survive and the actual voyager is passing nearby at the time, just close enough to see their destroyed remains.
In the insane vastness of space, the chances of these two ships with vastly different propulsion capabilities passing by each other in the very minutes one of them disintegrates is so unlikely as to be nearly impossible, and of course it failed in a way that fully resets any boons actual voyager might have gained from it.

The worst for me was the episode where Tom Paris breaks the trans warp threshold and becomes an omnipresent God and starts evolving 1000 years a minute.
Janeway realizes it and says- this will change our very existence. Wow! but instead of exploring this they turn him and Janeway into giant lizards then in the last few minutes the doctor just magically changes then back- The end.
WTF, such a waste. There must have been a writers strike that year.
