    I was watching an episode of Voyager (learning curve) and my dad came in and Sat down and proceeded to laugh his was through the entire episode. He said I was sad, that Voyager was so amateur and then laughed some more. Seems the be the standard response of people who don't like sci fi and have tiny imaginations.

    Make those very same comments next time he's screaming & shouting at a football match ;)

    Well I shout and roar at soccer and rugby as much as him so I can't mock him over that. I do mock him about golf though. Not a sport.

    It's because in the 20 years since those TNG episodes, the standard was still just as bad.

    Except there was only 7 and 1/2 years between their first seasons and just over a half a year between the last TNG and the first voyager. And DS9 overlapped both.

    Yeah, i can't find out where those 20 years come from, unless he spent those 20 years on the USS Bozeman. :pac:

    Yeah, not sure myself tbh honest folks - it was one of those moments where you think you're right at the time, but actually way off :o I still maintain the point though, that by the end of TNG, & half way through DS9...we should have never been inflicted with some of the writing that was inflicted on us by Voyager when it began. There was more than enough experience involved to hit the ground running with that show, but what we got, was essentially back to writing school stuff.

    Well, they all probably started off with different writers. Also, back then shows didn't have a pool of about 20 writers and 15 producers to pick from.

    Maybe you got the 20 years from time/space dilution due to traveling at high warp speed? Or your Heisenberg compensators are not properly calibrated.
    Or are you using an artificial singularity to power your ship? Those things can be a lot of trouble if they get infected with sentient beings.
    Other than that it could be that devil Q messing with you again.

    Or your bioneural gel packs could get infected with a virus that hides in bacteria from cheese Neelix made. All possibilities.

    I would definitely be wary of Neelix's cuisine, a lot of it looks seriously dodgy.
    One can understand Tuvok:

    Episode one season 2. The 37's

    "We're going to land the ship!" - Tom's face!

    Went a lot smoother than when Troi tried to land the Enterprise.

    Different writers or not, it's no excuse for letting the standard drop like it did. Some of the episodes were almost fan fiction like in their ridiculousness.

    I think it was the effect a rift in the space time continuum, caused by the formation of a cosmic string interacting with dark matter.

    Janeway gave the crew a choice to stay on the planet. Nobody did. I think that was a little unrealistic

    The actor who plays Nog in DS9 was in Voyager as a kazon kid who tried to kill Chakotay.

    When does Janeway cut her hair, tis fair annoying

    Her hair has it's own website!

    Only Captain Kirk can say the same (nothing much to say about Picard and Sisko there):

    Voyager was fine. It produced some really good episodes but it just never took huge changes. It's like the Picard in Tapestry who didn't fight the Nausican and played it safe.

    It's a show that I'll watch individual episodes but never the entire series again. Hell DS9 did more with the Maquis then Voyager.
