ive seen two episodes of voyager, one where tom paris enters a race with shuttle craft and nothing happens for the entire episode. The other one was where neelix merges with tuvok and they murder the resulting new lifeform as they beg for their life

tuvix was murdered. fact.

The thing about voyager is it has like 3-4 good characters total, when less than half of your main cast is likable you’re in big trouble

i don't think I cn name more than five main characters off the top of my head nd I could probably do 100 characters each from tng and ds9

Name your likeable voyager characters because I'm trying to think of any and I'm struggling.

To me, voyager was a series that happened lol, and the franchise was worse for it, it actively sucked as a series

I liked Tuvok and Seven of Nine. Voyager isn't great but it's still better than Discovery and, arguably, Enterprise

tuvok might be the only likeable VOY character, and its not a high bar to clear "better than discovery and enterprise"

DS9 is the best trek series forever and always, tng felt a bit lost a lot of the time, and tos was a bit too 60s sci fi campiness that i kinda bounced off of

thats somethin that good trek really does right, the episode where tht happens sucks in the main iirc but the core characters kick so much rear end that theres always something to grab onto, like there'll be a good character moment or a solid quark/odo bit or a good picard speech or whatever. bring back 26 episode tv

Apr 30, 2011

and hell while i'm thinkin about it thats the number one thing new trek gets wrong about character writing,. the characters in good trek might like each other or be friends or even hate each others guts but at th end of the day they're military officers on a starship. theyve got to act a certain way, they cant fight among the crew for cheap drama or if they do its because somethin is seriously wrong. not even talkin just about the quips although obviously thats the worst offender but no one acts like they're a fuckin professional

I never really appreciated Good Trek's ability to introduce, explore, and resolve a conflict in 45 minutes until I started watching Discovery.

i dont watch a lot of trek but it's cool how much more relatable it is than other sci-fi in tv and film. i'm not gonna meet a wookie but i'm probably going to have a work meeting with a guy i don't really like.

my sisters did a bigass star trek binge a few years back and came away from it telling me that enterprise was way better than its rep. i'll prob watch it at some point but i remember trying to watch it when it first came out and it just didnt click the way every other star trek had so it's always lower priority for me than just watching tng or ds9 if i feel like i want some star trek. god speed fungah i believe in you

season 1 and 2 are real bad, prime rick berman bullshit. 3 gets wild and iirc 4's actually pretty decent trek even if the endings dog poo poo in a bag. conclusion: not bad, better than voyager
