I agree. I like Voyager and love Enterprise...even more so than the original and Next Generation.

I never noticed the oh and zero thing...not that it bothers me when I hear it normally.

The good parts of Voyager are really good, but it's undeniable that many of the crew are quite bland. Kim and Paris are boring as hell, Kes and Neelix were kinda lame tbh, Tuvok and B'elanna were okayish, and Chakotay was barely even a character. 7of9, Janeway and the Doctor are enough to make up for it though.

Voyager also has the best intro.

I think the best intro was Deep Space Nine, but I'm partial to the score, even though it was Jerry Goldsmith on Voyager, I think Deep Space Nine had the better score, Dennis McCarthy did a great job.

I loved the hell out of Voyager. For each of the 2 weeks it took me to watch it from start to finish. I've not watched, or really thought about, it since.

One is a number and one is a letter. Two completely different things, they just sound the same.

I'm on a Star Trek marathon, I just finished TNG and now moving on to Voyager, I'll eventually watch them all (Except the new star trek, it's very bad). I'm least looking forward to Deep Space Nine. I really like episodic TV shows and DSN is more of a serial, I plan to watch it last and I'll just force myself to finish it.

I definitely use it the correct way, but working in a middle school, it’s just not a battle that we fight. Especially this year when we are constantly being the mask police and making sure that they are social distanced in the classroom.

I like voyager. I also say O when saying the number sometimes. If there's two 0s, I usually say oh for one and zero for the other. I'm a mad man.

Yeah Voyager was good. Way better than anything that came after it.
Enterprise was decent but Picard and Discovery are just horrid.
 
Voyager is my least favourite of the classic Trek shows and the only one where I didn't watch every episode of it. Maybe not even half of them in the case of Voyager.

Enterprise is surprisingly good, imo, especially that Xindi arc is one of the best things in Trek.

Discovery was kind of entertaining for the first two seasons, but season 3 lost me so far.

Watch the show finale (two parts I think) which has the Borg. Its a satisfying end to the series.

Voyager isn't for everyone, it's basically a clone of TNG, I get it. But I like most episodes and I'm glad it exists.

I don't like Discovery at all, I tried, but it doesn't feel like Star Trek to me.

To each his own. :)
I just don't feel the cast.

Well, it kind of isn't Star Trek, imo.
Was entertained though with the first two seasons, which Picard wasn't even able to.

They really lost it in regards to what Star Trek is.

First seeing the show I thought is was bad, seeing it now I think it's just bland. There are really no memorable episodes (besides the one where they travel to warp 10 and turn into lizards lol).

I love the opening, it is by far the best. Especially this 4k re-make. Other than that, I didn't like it at all, it felt really boring, no interesting characters, just uppity Starfleet officers much like TNG. The best thing about TNG are the oddball characters like Barkley or non Starfleet ones like Lwaxana Troi who really throw the wrench in the whole cog machine whenever they appear or episodes where the characters are separated from others like Inner Light, Chain of Command, Thine Own Self and others. Still, the one thing I love about Voyager is how they deal with their torpedo shortage.

While I didn't care that much about the actual Voyager series, I really enjoyed:

Elite Force is amazing and the whole concept of "Hazard teams" solves the insane concept of sending down senior officers on suicide missions. I never understood why they never did a Star Trek show where you had two sets of casts, one for the bridge officers and one for the hardcore "ground" team. There were already tons of characters in all the shows, so I don't see how 4 more could hurt.

I haven’t started this series yet, I finished TNG and DS9, while I love TNG, DS9 was amazing. I’m hoping for another incredible ride with voyager.

Voyager is Citizen Kane compared to Discovery.

The first season is a slog, but it goes up a notch once you get to Borg space. Scorpions 1&2 is one of the best two-parters ever.
Yeah, I think none of the responsible people of Discovery (Producer, Writers, etc). really understood (and still don't understand) what Star Trek is about really. I guess they tried to make Star Trek "more compatible" for a newer audience but the problem with that idea is that it's just another generic "Sci-Fi Adventure"-series then. The conflict between the people in the show also felt forced, like "we need to have some conflict between the characters so there's drama". The conflict between the crew in earlier Star Trek series was much more deliberate and low-key, in a sense. When someone was directly disobeying orders or did something stupid, it was a true "oh shit!" moment. Discovery has a more "Gung-ho!" attitude about everything.

Voyager still managed to capture the original spirit of Star Trek, even if it didn't reach the heights of (DS9 arguably), TNG or the OG series.

How can you trust the writers that can't even adhere to the continuity they set up two years earlier?



Even the Burn makes no sense. A lof of the great powers of the galaxy don't use Dilithium.

Oh shit, lol. I mean, yeah, the continuity issues are apparent but the series has bigger problems than that to solve first, IMHO. But you are absolutely right, especially when it comes to Star Trek.

The one thing I "liked" about Discovery, is one of those mini-episodes about Tribbles. It was so dumb and awkwardly written that it was actually kind of funny. It feels totally out of place in the Star Trek universe, more of a parody or satire, but it has its charm and very high production value.
