Isn't the lifespan of the Ocampa about 7 years? Since Kes was already about 2 or 3, and this is Voyager's 7th season, shouldn't she be dead? Curious.. 10/6/00 3:47:19 PM
Would have been nice if they (Voyager) had run into a Changling, since they were sent all over the galaxy (like Odo). 10/5/00 9:08:38 AM
Whatever happened to conflict with the Marquis? 10/5/00 9:07:43 AM
i enjoyed theold episodes 10/4/00 3:29:54 PM
Stories based too heavily on character development and whatever happened to the caretaker subplot anyway? 10/4/00 1:29:47 AM
I'd like to "assimilate" Seven of Nine anytime! Woof!!! 10/3/00 4:07:30 PM
I love the Borg. but I agree, enough is enough!!! 10/2/00 10:35:16 PM
Bring back Kes! The show lost everything when the producer bastards wrote her off. 10/2/00 9:10:35 AM
The first three seasons were excellent. But then they destroyed it all and turned it into the Seven of Nine Show. Get rid of the bimbo! 10/2/00 9:09:31 AM
What about Harry Mudd? Now that was pathetic... 10/1/00 7:02:10 PM
 
The Kazon were pathetic villians. So were the Hirogen. 9/30/00 4:21:59 PM
The Borg, the Jem Hadar, the Dominion, the Klingons, the Romulans, the Cardassians, they were all great villians! WOW!!! 9/30/00 4:20:59 PM
Big and bad villains. Trek has always needed them. They need threats constantly for great storytelling. 9/30/00 12:55:34 PM
I have an opinion..., let's not humanize the Borg so much that we accept them as beings. They need to be villians. 9/30/00 12:54:18 PM
At first, I felt like I HAD to watch it, being a Trek Fan. But the stories have improved (not all). 9/30/00 10:14:09 AM
I wasn't sure that I really liked it at first, than season by season the story lines got better and the charaters grew in there rolls.  9/29/00 2:53:54 PM
TOS was the best, and classic too!!! 9/28/00 9:23:36 AM
They really are bad..... 9/28/00 9:23:05 AM
Darheel??? That's akin to Hitler being Prime Minister of Isreal. 9/27/00 11:59:44 AM
Gul Darheel for First Minister of Bajor!!! 9/27/00 9:43:03 AM
 
Elim Garek for Federation President!!! 9/27/00 9:41:57 AM
DS( was really DS9!!!! Sorry... 9/26/00 11:55:02 PM
DS( was all about character development, great storytelling, and an edgier side of Star Fleet. 9/26/00 11:54:32 PM
Rank from top to bottom in terms of quality: TNG, DS9, TOS, Voyager. 9/25/00 11:37:56 PM
The more generations of Star Trek, the tougher the scrutiny, and higher the expectations. Fans have been hardest of all on Voyager, but it's not bad! 9/25/00 4:32:25 PM
..... and who will not??? 9/25/00 3:16:21 PM
Agreed. Season 3 was the best. However, I am looking forward to Season 7 and the wrapping up of numerous Trek "issues". Will they get home?  9/25/00 3:16:08 PM
3 was the best. The show got a rough deal but with hindsight, people are realising that it had to follow a developmental arc. 9/25/00 11:59:57 AM
The polls are fake. Too much tampering by someone... 9/24/00 12:42:09 AM
I personally thought season 3 was the best to this point... 9/22/00 8:19:20 PM
 
If anything, the first season was the best one so far, save the absence of a true season finale, which was UPN's fault anyway. 9/22/00 7:27:40 PM
They were harshly and unfairly critized early on. The show is fine, but my heart is still with DS9. 9/22/00 3:40:33 PM
When UPN cut two minutes off of Voyager each week, that was a low point in the series, however, the episodes have "mellowed" with age. 9/22/00 3:37:35 PM
