Understandable but would it shock you to know that it's my fav star trek? But ya it unfortunately has some weak episodes, especially in the beginning.
It's my favourite as well. My parents watched TNG and DS9 when I was a kid, but Voyager was the first Trek that I went out of my way myself to watch. Kathryn Janeway is high on my list of personal (albeit fictional) heroes.
VOY is the most scientifically illiterate of all Trek series. They tried to sound at least as "sciency" as TNG, but:
Are you forgetting Discovery's space tardigrade? and the mycelial network?
@HeartyBeast @startrek *Please* can we forget them?
Personally I find that show to be unwatchable.
I consider Discovery in its own disaster category. They didn't even try to make sense.
Voyager had at least a veneer of palatable Trek. Sometimes.
Shall we talk about their continual shortage of deuterium? Possibly the second most common substance in the universe!
Thank you, yes.
Oof ya if you're going for scientific accuracy I wouldn't rate it very high either.
I've subsequently seem other episodes - and yes, it's solid. It's just that one episode, where we looked at each other and went 'nahh'
