On the tenth anniversary of Star Trek Voyager, I would like to ask the eternal question:

Did that show really suck or was I just spoiled on DS9?

In other news: ROBOTECH SEQUEL TRAILER!

The concept was brilliant.

The execution sucked. I still don't see how the ship could have stayed in such pristine shape after all that shit. I was expecting it to degenerate to something along the lines of that one ship that they encountered five to six years in. The continuity was not really followed. And they REALLY pussyfied the Borg.

Not to mention that the series finale of Voyager pissed me off more than any other series finale I've yet encountered. This link explains why best: http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=12439&cid=194878 .

I agree the concept was something that they could have potential. But I noticed right away it started falling down when the crew, even the ones from the Maquis were drop outs from Starfleet that were described as "some of the most promising students that just messed up somehow". Really, when you set up something like that there's not much room for development.

I joked with a friend during the first season that the series finale should have been this: They finally make it home and it took all 70 years they estimated. Kes, the alien that was only supposed to have a lifespan of 7 years, but agreed to help the crew, somehow survives unaged. Most of the crew has died of old age and Janeway, sitting in the command chair taking her last breaths as Earth comes into view hears Kes say to the holographic doctor "Earth sucks. I want to go home."

I still can't figure out why I bothered to watch it when it was on.
