In season 6 or 7 she goes off-the-rails and reprograms the doctor to genetically alter her unborn child, are you telling me this isn't a good female portrayal?

I like how she suffered absolutely no consequences for this.

i honestly gave voyager a go a couple of years back, before I even watched DS9 I think. I made it until Janeway starting hanging out with DaVinci or someone like that. Said gently caress it. TNG & VOY suffer from wayyyy too much holodeck poo poo. DS9 had some but not enough that I can even remember any specific ones.

Well other than the lounge singer but Chase Masterson cancels out all bad in DS9

List of crappy voyager holoprogrammes

1. Janeway's camp gothic melodrama
2. World War 2 French town
3. Neelix's generic Hawaiian resort which probably is a bit racist in 2016
4.Captain Proton
5. gently caress off Da Vinci
6. Tom's French bar with 1x pool table
7. Fair Haven

Developing tech for the Federation must be like some sort of OSHA hell. Some aliens see in infrared so it has to be visible in that range, meanwhile this race is blind so it needs a haptic interface these are for cetaceans so make them work with a bottle nose and clicks. Then provide support for all these development standards.

She would be perfect; beautiful and intelligent, graceful and kind. But then Riker becomes curious about who Geordi is spending all his holodeck time with...he sleeps with Geordi's needy holographic mess...and after altering her consent settings and sleeping with her, Riker maliciously makes changes to the programme so that she now smells of beer farts and growls "make it so" in Picard's dulcet baritone every she reaches completion.

The senior staff all have chuckle in the conference lounge later on and Counselor Troi describes Geordi's emotional distress in incredible detail

sooo im that guy who has watched all the series many many many times over 25yrs

I'm supplementing my TNG Barclay craze with Voyager episodes, generally speaking there are a ton of good Voyager episodes and it keeps fairly close to TNG in terms of technobabble and starshippy things, trek history etc, they have a very broad range of actors and overall I really miss this series. Did I like them going over the top with the borg, not really but they were fun episodes mostly, and the ending was a bit lacklustre but its hard to end a episodic show generally.

As for voyager's future. Cant say im the biggest fan with improving the fx shots for CGI in SD, or HD, it would likely cost too much to remaster them. I think TNG Barclay was largely a labour of love for the show.

Agreed.

Voyager is like an iceberg with some well written episodes at the top, supported by a multitude of offensively boring or god awful episodes below the surface.

Good Episodes (Must see)

Eye of the Needle
State of Flux
Projections
Maneuvers
Prototype
Alliances
Deathwish
Deadlock
The Thaw
Remember
Futures End
Unity
Before and After
Worst Case Scenario
Scorpion pt1 and 2
Year of Hell(just pt 1)
Living Witness
Timeless
Counterpoint
Bliss
Someone to Watch Over me
Relativity
Tinker,Tenor, Doctor, Spy
Blink of an Eye
Good Shepherd
Critical Care
Prophecy
Author,Author

Baaad Episodes (Don't see)

Parturition
Threshold
Darkling
Favourite Son
Vis a Vis
Unforgettable
The Disease
The Fight
11;59
Alice
Fair Haven
Spirit Folk
Friendship One

The other 129 episodes are ok sometimes, have some nice scenes occasionally but are largely forgettable, often lazy and heavily involve a nebula or something

this list is a little strange because while it is certainly not a good episode threshold is something that every star trek watcher should experience at least once
