    As someone who watched it with no nostalgia glasses: it is not good trek.

    I can’t think of a really outstanding episode off the top of my head (maybe the Tuvix one? But even that is just … rough?). And there are some episodes in there that I actively dislike in a way I don’t with most of the other series.

    I like Kate Mulgrew, she was a strong actor for the role and the theme is a banger, otherwise … meh.

      I also think it’s fairly weak overall but there are some really great outstanding episodes. Blink of an Eye, Counterpoint, Scorpion, for some examples. And I also agree that the worst Voyagers are really very bad, but are they that much worse than other series’ follies? Is Threshold worse than Code of Honor? Sacred Ground worse than Turnabout Intruder? Fair Haven worse than Profit and Lace?

        I’d say it’s worst. Being racist is horrible, but it wasn’t until “Threshold” that ST became actively and willingly stupid.

      Originally sole canadian actress was hired to play Janeway…forgot her name, but you can see some original footage on YouTube, she was so bad as captain Janeway. Mulgrew took the character to a whole other level.

      Personally enjoyed Voyager, skipping some episodes however, mostly those personal quests… And Neelix didn’t bring much as well.

      Enterprise was…meh. Learned to like it and by the third season it felt like they finally found the right direction. Loved the doctor in that series. And the theme song, my god who decided that. Awful.

      Strange new worlds is great, feels like it has everything I expect from a star trek series. Atmosphere, decors, characters, theme song…
