    Seriously, this sub caused me to actually break down and subscribe to Paramount+ despite my adamant hatred of our current “just one more subscription service” hellscape

    Y’all, I tried to watch Voyager. I really did. I just can’t. I’m absolutely loving Strange New Worlds though. Can’t wait to check out Lower Decks soon.

      I was about to give you an upvote for giving into peer pressure, but I can’t, in good conscience, upvote someone that doesn’t like Voyager 😔

      Don’t feel bad, Voyager was tough to get through for me too. Still my least favorite Trek not counting TOS and TAS. I think it falls into the realm of great concept but lackluster execution most of the time. Not to say there aren’t great VOY episodes, there absolutely are, but the quality - to me - is overall definitely subpar.

        Yeah I like the characters, the concept, the aliens. But man those scripts are just so rough. They needed some serious writing workshops and like three more drafts. It always feels like they just took the rough concept draft and ran with it.

      IMO, (as someone who absolutely loves VOY, so grain of salt) it would be worth at least skipping to season 4 to catch 7of9’s origin story. But she’s been my favorite since childhood, so maybe it’s just me.

      Yo, ho, all together…

      Speaking of Voyager though, until Netflix out of the blue decided to entirely delete the account my parents and I shared (yes, we’re in separate homes and I wouldn’t have been surprised if they decided to lock me out of it, but that’s not what happened, the entire account was just deleted…), I was slowly making my way through it. It’s a struggle at times.
