I have finished watching Star Trek Next Generation and Deep Space 9 following a friend’s recommendation. I enjoyed both shows and started watching the other one, Star Trek Voyager.
So far, I’m not finding it as enjoyable as the other two. I want to try to see it through the eyes of someone who enjoys the show, maybe it will also help me understand why it feels different somehow.
The best episodes are when the pretty ship is just super-wrecked.
Year of Hell is one. The episode where they discover that the entire ship and crew are replicas and they’re slowly coming apart is another.
That’s the one with the pocket watch? I really responded poorly to casting for Janeway, and she had so much screen time that I don’t remember the ep as a whole, but if it’s the one where the ship is all but sliced apart then I think that’s one I’m totally thinking of.
Pretty much all of the partnered episodes are good. Year of Hell, Time’s End, Equinox, and Scorpion are all fantastic two-part episodes, and that’s just off the top of my head.
