_{Here's the thing about Voyager. It's not the perfect Star Trek series by a longshot, but it isn't as bad as people make it out to be either. It really started when a few online reviewers (SFDebris) started dogging it like it was complete trash, and everyone else fell in line like sheep. The funny thing is, if it was so bad it wouldn't have gone for season seasons. In fact when looking at pure ratings, it's the most successful Star Trek show, topping even The Next Generation.

Now I agree Voyager could have been better and that some decisions they made are strange, but it's nowhere in the league of Enterprise bad, and it certainly wasn't the downfall of Star Trek. It was on air during the golden era. With DS9 on, Voyager, and the TNG movies, Star Trek was at it's highest. Voyager also did epic TV movies along with two parters, the others didn't.

When DS9 was on the air it wasn't nearly as popular as it was in syndication. TNG struggled it's first 3 years to find an audience and it wasn't until a cliffhanger in "est of Both Worlds" that got peoples attention. TOS, TNG, and DS9 also had a lot of wtf moments, as well. And all the Janeway haters get on her for being domineering and stupid, but ignore the same qualities that Kirk showed in TOS. So its really quite frustrating to me as a Star Trek fan. Is Neelix worse than Rom? Fuck no.

So that's my stand on Voyager.
(Since this is a Voyager group, it's a safe bet you all agree with me... lol)}
