A show that starts off mediocre, rollercoasters up quick and flows slowly down into the abyss, you'll find the stories and characters as consistent as that rollercoaster.
The acting is passable. The stories are oft humanizing.

A show that starts off mediocre, rollercoasters up quick and flows slowly down into the abyss, you'll find the stories and characters as consistent as that rollercoaster.
The acting is passable. The stories are oft humanizing.
You will notice that voyager is a pacifist ship, Janeway is a pushover acting in a moral daydream, where 5 minutes of acting with superiority, high and mighty ethics and not shooting the guy that shot you... somehow works out in your favor. Every episode.

A show where every roadbump along the way turns into a research expedition, where you'll encounter someone who wants to shoot you for floating into their territory, and despite them nearly destroying voyager, a quick hail, taking of prisoners or just empty threats.. will get you your ship back, a friend and a shortcut of a few years off your journey.

The journey wasnt bad, save for a few throwaway episodes that are cringe-tier.
More memorable characters, less memorable series than TNG or DS9.

Speaking from a 2020 perspective, the series shows only a few signs of 90s cracks.
If youre looking for something more 90s-proof, try Stargate SG1.
If youre looking for something that wants to take itself seriously but didnt get off the ground, try enterprise.
