Why Voyager is the worst Trek ever.

As long as we recognize Lucas is washed up and most TV sucks, we'll all get along fine.

I'll just list one thing at a time, as the mood strikes. Two for the first post.

- Every episode reset the ship. Battle damage never carried over into the next week, even though there were no facilities at which to enact repairs.

- They were flung out of the Alpha Quadrant with 2 shuttle craft, short on supplies, and no way of replenishment. Over the course of the show they destroyed about 20 shuttle craft.

Janeway.

& was Voyager worse than Enterprise? Definitely inferior to all the Treks prior, but how about after?

I am not qualified to comment, as I lived in Memphis when Enterprise aired and only caught 2 episodes because the local Fox affiliate always canceled in the show in order to air college basketball.

I heard season 3 & 4 really had the show on the right track with plot arcs, but by then it was too little, too late.

I only saw a handful of episodes myself, but I did like what I saw.

I never got into Voyager either, and it soured me enough to not watch Enterprise.

Threshold.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Threshold_%28Star_Trek:_Voyager%29

The writing staff were dissatisfied with the quality of the episode, to the point that Brannon Braga called it a "royal, steaming stinker"[1][2] . It was unofficially struck from canon by the production staff and the fanbase; however, being a live-action, televised story, it remains within the general guidelines typically followed by Paramount/CBS Studios to determine canonicity.[3]

you know, I just remembered a single episode f Enterprise that I saw....

There's this really hot Vulcan chick on the ship, and for some reason she goes into that 7-year horny GOTTA FUCK NOW phase. It was really nice watching her running around the ship rubbing up against everyone, moaning like a cat in heat. They had to shoot her to keep her from trying to bone every man on the ship.

So for that reason alone I love Enterprise.

Plus I heard there were a couple "mirror universe" episodes where they even changed the opening show song and title sequence to be more military and evil. Neat.

This has nothing to do with Voyager, but I found it and it made me laugh.

I just saw that episode late Friday night, except it was a TNG episode and it was Jordi being changed into some invisible creature.

I've seen both of those episodes. Threshold is by far stupider.

Janeway and Paris go really fast so that causes them to de-evolve into small lizards and they have lizard babies together but then they get better the end.

: "Ok, women cook food, right? So let's have Janeway burn a pot roast she tries to cook!"

: "Don't they use replicators in the future instead of ovens?"

: "Quiet you! Now let's move on to the next subject: Robert Beltran seems to have no chemistry what-so-ever with any of the actors on the show. Women love relationships, so let's have an episode where Chakotay and Janeway conveniently spend time alone on a planet and fall in love with each other."

: "Aren't both of them the the captain and the first officer? Why would they spend time alone on a planet when they're the most important people on the ship? Doesn't Starfleet have any regulations about relationships or something like that?"

: "Shut up! We'll just technobabble their way onto the planet with some stupid shit about a virus or whatever. Next up is..."

Wash, rinse, repeat for 7 seasons.

His acting made Hayden Christiansen's Anakin look expressive.

There is no Star Trek after TOS.

Hey now, TNG had some really great episodes. The series finale and "Best of Both Worlds" are some of the best TV ever, Trek or otherwise.

It was a great series. Just not a great Star Trek series since there was no Star Trek after TOS.

I despised that pile of horrible acting (except a couple folk) and reprehensible writing.

Because TOS was practically Shakespearean and starred the greatest actors that ever lived? :p
