One thing I have noticed about some of the bad Voyager episodes is that they are usually not boring. Bad TNG and DS9 eps will put you to sleep. Heck even some of the good TNG episodes will put you to sleep.

Voyager can't be boring, your brain is constantly rebelling against what is on screen as it makes no sense.

It's revealed that Tom Paris is going to use the key from the Master of the Universe movie to go back in time to stop them from ever getting stranded in the Delta Quadrant, or at least he assumes that is what will happen as he and Vash hop in a shuttlecraft and fly off.

(Honestly thought Courtney Cox was Vash once.)

though seriously making the entire show not have happened would be peak Voyager right

Mainly ~Whacky Seduction Hijinks~ with regards to the writing, but Seven and the Doctor do get some good moments. Especially when Jeri Ryan just goes for broke and starts chewing scenery when possessed by the Doctor :allears:.

The problem is a lot of the good moments tend to happen, for lack of a better description, by accident through the actors trying to salvage them rather than by decent writing and direction. And they're generally still in service of a mediocre, cliche, or just plain crap episode anyway.

You are an odd fellow, but I must say... you throw a swell shindig.

Brian Singer did a post-Voyager series pitch that listed the ship's sentient computer as a main character. I always thought that sounded neat.

I'd actually love to see an official trek show with the Andromeda plot. It's like 600 yeas in the future, the federation has crumbled despite at its height nearly uniting the galaxy in a peaceful utopia. One ship was some how frozen in time 500 years ago and is now exploring this lovely dark-age trek universe where everything's regressed and it's fractured warlords and slavers and petty conflict all the way down. Slowly but surely this captain re-forges a new federation from the ashes of the old.

Basically andromeda done right and enterprise (building the federation) done right. Show earth as regressed to a terrible capitalist dictatorship full of poverty and corruption, Risa a horrible 60's cheap vegas casino controlled by organized crime, the few places that held onto their technology and quality of life, like Vulcan, have become paranoid xenophobic isolationists. Over the course of the show we see the federation, and most importantly, it's ideals of democracy and space-socialism and multi-multiculturalism rebuilt. I could use something inspiring from trek again, something that shows that a lovely decaying garbage world can actually get better.

I never saw that episode when I was a kid but I did read a lot of TOS novels. A whole lot of authors were apparently really enamored with that episode and set their novel during the point that happened, or found an excuse to use it again. It was really confusing.
