That's what makes it so great, they're quite self-consciously putting on a show.

Wait do you mean Voyager or TOS? Voyager was tongue-in-cheek, acknowledging that they're not trying to deal with serious issues (except for that 10% when they do and they're good. When I learned what they were trying to do, that's when I started to love it.

As for TOS, I looked this up and apparently it was an idea of John Meredyth Lucas. (He ran the show during the second half of season 2.) Which I find kind of baffling because Voyager actually has way more to say about the war.

Those were the last years when you could just call up the people in it and talk to them. Somewhere I got a 6.5mm round that some guy pulled off a dead jap and gave to me. Try that now and every r-slurred b-word school administrator will scream that there's a school shooting going on.

I meant the original series. Voyslop has too much fanservice and tries to have an overarching story but it doesn't go anywhere.

Yeah, notoriously the maquis thing is ended in the first episode.

I think they were pushing Neelix/Kes in the first couple years but I will not watch that. Two really bad characters that they apparently were trying to base the show on.

Deep Space Nine benefited a lot from characters that emerged because of the actors even though they weren't meant to be that (Garak, Damar, Dukat, heck all the Ferengis).

Voyager seemed to be strangely the opposite. They had a lot of interesting concepts for main characters, but when it came down to writing an episode it was always there's a shuttle crash and they end up fricking or something. This didn't work for me at the time. It was one of things where Mike Stoklasa says "maybe you don't notice but your brain does".

You watch a lot of asian dramas and you realize it's all about the romance and it's about 12 hours before the rich r-slur (he owns a hospital or somthing) and the poor r-slur (the scrappy hardworking lower class girl)

And then it gets into his mother-in-law. Goddammit Korean ajummas ruin everything. !asians

Look at the new characters on Voyager: You got 7 o' 9 (the producer's girlfriend)

You eventually get Icheb. I guess the writers were so fricking desperate they introduced another neurodivergent into the mix.

The only one who didn't suck was Naomi Wildman.
