Voyager - First Watch

As I mentioned in the Jeri Ryan b-day thread, I didn't watch Voyager during its original run on TV, though a friend of mine tried to get me into it. However, when they were repeating the show on TV here last year I checked it out midway through Season 4 and really got into it, watching through til the end (and even got Season 4 on DVD to see the episodes I'd missed).

I was surprised to find I pretty much liked all the main characters in the cast (which doesn't always happen with shows I watch, as there's usually at least one or two I don't like...sometimes more). Yes, some characters were better than others, and I think Seven of Nine and The Doctor were easily the standouts, but on the whole none of them really annoyed me too often. 

I definitely think the Seven/Doctor dynamic was the most interesting. Jeri Ryan and Robert Picardo played so well off each other and there were so many memorable moments between their characters, some humorous, others very emotional, and both actors got some really excellent episodes where their performances were allowed to shine. I also found the Seven/Janeway dynamic really interesting as well. Honestly, Jeri Ryan played well off all the actors, I thought. Not only was she easy on the eyes (and she's still looking great today), but she had actual talent and could act - which I think some people don't give her enough credit for. 

I still have yet to watch my Season 4 DVDs and catch the episodes which I missed, as I have so many other DVDs/Blu-rays of different shows to watch, but am planning to catch up sometime in the near future.

for me DS9 9/10
TNG,VOY 8/10
TOS 5/10
Ent NOT ACKNOWLEDGED

I like DS9 for it darker vibe and much commentary somethings admittedly to get on my nerves but they are consistent inconsistencies
TNG is the one that gives me hope and voyager as stated by others the lost in space vibe is cool but there are more than a few non-sequitur episodes some are cool but some annoy me.
TOS- the pioneer but the writing annoys me to no end but i do have to remember it annoys me TODAY and is time appropriate doesn't mean it can't annoy me
ENT- they failed to do RESEACH!!!!(using best uncle voice from jackie chan adventures)so therefore I DON'T ACKNOWLEDGE IT!!!

oh simple bringing forth races to THE FRONT who after that just poof not to mention a war that other than this crew is no where in the historical database AT ALL vulcans trying to spare the universe from the "monsters" being us well that part i can understand that's what i mean by not doing research. I would like to mention something said by the creators in an interview enterprise was an attempt to create trek without trek in the name since it is now called star trek enterprise i would say that experiment failed.

I'm glad people enjoyed Voyager, but it (and Enterprise) were my least favorite Star Trek series. I liked (most of) the characters better from Voyager than I did from Enterprise, however.

For me it's a tie between Voyager and DS9

I loved the idea for Voyager. It seemed like such a great chance to create some interesting stories where no man (not 'no one') has gone before. But it was a silly show and the reason I (along with most, I suspect) watched it at the time was because of Jeri Ryan. Putting her in a tight suit every week was a stroke of genius and saved the show. And I didn't really like the cast/characters and the way they combined the two crews early. But I did like the opening credits.
