The one aspect of Voyager that I liked most was that the crew was comprised of two very different chains of command – by-the-book Starfleet and whatever-it-takes-to-succeed Marqui (sp?), that made a great dynamic everytime they were faced with an opportunity to get home that might violate Starfleet protocol. Chakoteh, B’Ellana, Tom and Tuvok were great. Janeway, the Doctor, Neelix and Kes are personas they should avoid. There was almost nothing about Deepspace 9 that is worth maintaining. None of the characters are compelling.

Kirk / Spock, Picard / Data, Sisko or Kira / Odo, Janeway / Seven of Nine and Archer or Trip / T’Pol all serve as a vehicle to understand what it is to be human and/or emotional. The first four all strove to be human, whereas T’Pol only sought to coexist, yet still developed maternal / supportive (?) feelings for Archer. No doubt, this compelling dynamic will be realized again in the next incarnation.

He liked Janeway and Seven of Nine\'s "relationship" better than Kirk & Spock\'s? He would say that.

Give me a break!

#5 Josh –

Right on with your assessment. Let’s hope XI goes back to “morality plays disguised as ation adventure”.

The idea of Star Trek its basic concepts are somewhat etched in people’s
minds. It can be reinvented without destroying those concepts. All the
potential in the world won’t do the powers that be any good if its wasted.
We see what happened in the last attempts when the producer tried to
distance themselves from the basics. The viewers want Star Trek back
but it has to be what it was designed to be not a sorta-kinda-wannabe like
type of vehicle. If J.J. Abrams is as good as they say he is and as big a
fan they say he is it just might come together.

Star Trek- morality plays disguised as action adventure

Star Trek – The Next Generation – Pompous quasi sermons disguised as entertainment

Star Trek – Deep Space Nine – Soap Trek, internalized, serialized, tolerable

Star Trek – Voyager – Promising concept, reduced to Give me space anomolies for 1000 Alex

Star Trek- Enterprise – Anomolous, incongruent, neutral, lacking in inspiration and execution. Revisionistic history.

unless he wrote some of the really good DS9 or Voyager episodes,he was part of the problem,he shouldn’t be casting stones.also the Janeway & 7of 9 relationship was unremarkable and not particularly interesting.

Well, yeah, but a lot of things that “most Trekkies will agree with” are absolute bosh. I’m always encouraged by creative people who don’t parrot the conventional Internet assessments of Trek.
