Excessive Criticism of “STAR TREK VOYAGER”

It had the best cast from the start with only one regular whose character felt devoid of originality; the best Captain; for people forget that Sisko was only a commander at the start; as well as an incredible potential for the telling of stories aboot two crews with vastly divergent beliefs trying to meld themselves into a unity that could get them home, all the while struggling to survive while finding their way home.

All wasted.

The conflict between the Starfleet and Maquis aspect of the crew more or less played out in Season One and lingered occasionally in Season Two. After the ship had been temporarily captured by Seska and Hirogen, the crew finally operated as one, starting in Season Three.

So, what did you want? Consistent conflict between the Starfleeters and Maquis throughout the series?

You know, the above arguments only solidify my belief that this fan penchant for heavily criticizing "VOYAGER" more than the other shows is basically a reaction to sexism and misogyny. This idea that the premise for "VOYAGER" gave it more potential to be different from the other shows strikes me as a lot of bullshit. For any of the TREK shows . . . including "DEEP SPACE NINE".
