The only reason i am reviewing this is because there are some reviews here that are wrongly giving Deep Space Nine a bad time! Voyager is dull and boring and the worst in the Star trek family it had so much potential and failed miserably.

Deep Space Nine is light years ahead and still stands up welll with todays Sci-Fi TV. It is deeper and tells a story it does not simply push a reset button each week and move on.

Voyager will not leave a lasting impression like DS9.

“Voyager” was the second-best Trek series, after “Next Generation”. But it becomes increasingly evident, with repeat viewings, that the fictional world created by Roddenberry and all the other producers and writers is not nearly futuristic enough. We are already on the verge of technological advances that go beyond the Trek universe. First and most obvious — where are all the robots? I don’t mean Data, the holographic Doc, etc. I mean machines to do all the manual stuff that gets done on the show. In one Voyager episode, a character asks how to get to a certain location on the ship. The captain asks a junior officer to go with him to show him! Couldn’t the computer have told him to “go into the elevator, proceed to level 3, turn right…” etc.? We have car navigation systems that can do that now.

How about the episode where Harry Kim has a security anklet attached to him. When he tampers with it, two Star Fleet security guys beam in to arrest him. He engages in a fight and flight and gets away. Why wasn’t the device just designed to beam him into a cell when he tampered with it? And don’t get me started on all the hand-phaser battles with people shooting and missing. Can’t they come up with some kind of automatic targeting device? I could come up with dozens more flaws in the plot lines, as I’m sure you could as well.

I can suspend disbelief and accept warp drives, transporters, etc., even if they’re not really plausible. What I can’t accept are all the ways in which the characters should have technological capabilities far beyond ours, but don’t.
