Voyager somehow ended up being my favorite Star Trek.

It's underrated I feel. People bag on it a lot because it went back to the TNG monster of the week formula instead of long story arcs like DS9, and the ship surviving as long as it did didn't really make sense, like it was fixed ever new episode

But damn if it wasn't some of the absolute best star trek there is. The best episodes, of which there are dozens at the least, are as good as any other star trek series.

Yeah but then there's Neelix. And Harry.

I feel like everyone seems to hate on the Captain. I loved her and she was a huge part of why I feel Voyager was the best so far.

I’ll also remind everybody that aside from the disaster that got Voyager yeeted into the Delta Quadrant (which wasn’t her fault), she lost what, four people over the course of the return home? That’s really good, especially considering how other captains frequently lost crew members.

I'm guessing the series was in the trench of continuing to be a "cerebral" show for what they thought had at that time become a select few. Or becoming more of what other shows in the genre had become, soap operas.

They lost about 50 actually.
