That should be a story, though: The entire night shift bridge made up of non-senior staff ends up having a major problem with an alien vessel and this crew of nobodies manages to solve a major crisis without waking the senior staff.

"No, listen, we make that call and the next thing you know you've got Janeway up here. You know who else is going to be here? Paris, Kim, Chakotay, Tuvok, all of 'em! Even Neelix will squirm his way up here. Then we're looking at a shooting war because they're all always fuckin' it up. Let's just handle this like we mostly do: Off the record!"

This would have been amazing!

That reminds me, it always pissed me off that they're waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay out in the Delta quadrant, and it's going to take them like 65 years to get back to the Alpha quadrant, yet somehow no matter what happened to Voyager, it was was back to like new condition at the beginning of the next episode.

Forge an alliance with the Borg for like 2 episodes, and get all kinds of Borg technology incorporated into Voyager? Episode 3 comes and, Voyager has been factory reconditioned. Get your poo poo pushed in by space pirates? Next episode, looks like it just rolled out of the space factory floor.

On a long rear end voyage like that, by the time it got back to the Alpha quadrant, it would hardly look like the same ship. Of course the series finale was all bullshit anyway.

Were they still operating under Gene Roddenberry's dumb rule where everything had to be resolved by the end of an episode?

They eventually got the mobile transmitter for the Dr. but I suspect it was because they realized he was the only character anyone liked, and needed him to be able to go elsewhere.

Also, I suspect that much like on the Enterprise when Data ran the night shift, the Dr. ran the night shift.

The Doctor and Seven were the only Characters the writers even bothered putting effort into after season 4. The rest of the cast (other than Janeway) felt like they were essentially guest stars or extras as they almost had to remind the writers that they existed. Robert Beltran got to the point where he would deliver one line an episode, and then sleep in his trailer for the rest of the week.

If I were human, I believe my response would be: 'go to hell'.
Janeway is better as a psychotic Russian mob wife/soup Nazi than she was ever a Starfleet captain.

A lot of people in the comment section got really, really angry about Beltran, too. It's amazing how many people apparently take this poo poo seriously.

I mean, I find Star Trek enjoyable enough, but obviously playing one of these cardboard characters for years and saying mostly the same stock phrases ("shields are down", "unidentified vessel approaching", "the transporter/holo-deck/warp drive is malfunctioning", etc) over and over again must be rather frustrating for a trained actor. (Though I guess the paycheck more than made up for it).

It's one thing to have a laugh about space elves and such but I think you could show some appreciation to the fans that made you a millionaire. He never has to work another day in his life and he just says 'gently caress you' to the people who made it possible which seems arrogant and ungrateful. Before Star Trek, Beltran's biggest claim to fame was some direct to video Chuck Norris movie.

Oh if only Neelix died right then and there, and the crew airlocked Kes right after the funeral for being a waste of inertial mass. Might have been a decent show.

I think Voyager is a silly show that I will mostly just enjoy having on while I do something else in the house or listen to on long drives like it's a radio drama or something

I feel like it will also be the worst Star Trek show I have watched overall

I know this is controversial but I like Voyager better than DS9. Also Enterprise is still the worst. I think we can all agree on that.
