Don't really care tbh just curious how easy it was (or wasn't) to post polls

I can only assume that the vote for "Quality Entertainment" was sarcasm......:lol:

:lmao:

It`s obviously quality entertainment. :snooty:

Look at the stellar careers all the actors have gone on to have. :whistling:

<< Refuses to admit that she watched every ep and has purchased some of them on video >> :ph43r:

With the exception of Bob Picardo and Jeri Ryan I'm struggling to think of any of them that have gone on to blaze a trail across Hollywood.

Picardo was a decent actor who got plenty of television gigs before Voyager. Ryan, makes mostly guest appearances, but she's got a regular role this year, on something who's name escapes me right now. And I'm sure the catsuit didn't do her career any harm! :lol:

Shark - the James Wood series. :)

Looking at IMDB, a couple of them seem to be doing well directing TV....

Roxann Bumpy Forehead Dawson did Lost, and Robert Duncan McNeil did Desperate Housewives... :ponder:

Yep, that's it :thumbsup:

Star Trek's always been a breeding ground for directorial talents, going back to TNG where Pat Stewart, Jon Frakes, Michael Dorn, Brent Spiner, Levar Burton and Gates McFadden all got behind the camera at some point. In fact, out of the principle seven, Marina Sirtis was the only one that didn't. Since then the tradition continued through DS9, Voyager, and (I think) Enterprise.

A tinge maybe :lol: :ponder: ;)

To be fair if you picked only the good episodes you might have enough watching there to keep you occupied for nearly a whole morning :lol:

Assuming you have a lie-in until midday? :lol:

Just realised you meant the vote for quality entertainment and not the fact I included this option to begin with :lol: :stoopid:

Can't believe someone voted for it.

<<Looks at Sarah accusingly>>

:snooty:

I`ve only just voted. You`ll have to interrogate someone else. Erm, as well. :lol:

There were some good episodes. There was one called Resolutions where Janeway and Chakotay get stranded on some planet all alone ( :naughty: ) and , erm, make friends with a monkey and grow tomato plants. :blush:

Eurgh! :rolleyes:

A candidate for one of the worst episodes of all time surely! Right up there (or down there!) with that one with the adventures of Treeflotter or whatever his name was! :lol:

I didn't want to point out that earlier faux pas Dave, not after already highlighting your earlier gaff! :lol:

There are two people who like watching badly scripted paint dry :o :fear:

:bag:

It's all this distressing Voyager reminiscing, I've sunk down to the programs level :lol:

These are probably the same people that kept Andromeda going for five years......:rolleyes: :lol:

Even I gave up on Andromeda. :ph43r:

And I haven`t even mentioned that ep where Chakotay plays a boxer and has to hold his stomach in. A lot. :lol:

Come to think of it, towards the end of the series, a lot of the actors were having to do that. :lol:

It's the Shatner effect. If you look closely, even Avery Brooks was doing it in the end! :lol:

Don't forget the one where they made a mockery of the Borg......Oh, hold on, I'll need to be more specific......:lol:

Stop ! :fear:

I`m getting all nostalgic and might order a season on DVD ! :ph43r:

:lol:

Oh the horror!

Luckily I looked at the price and thought Meh. :lol:

There should have been a Makes your skin crawl category too :x suppose Utter shite still covers it though

I decided to side with the Shite option - while a lot of Voyager was hideous, there were the occasional good episode (unlike Enterprise, where there was a rare good episode :))

Which episode was that then ? :ph43r:

I wonder how bad a ST show would have to be before I`d give up watching it.... :ponder:

What - you mean I actually have to think of one?

Oh, crumbs... :)

I'll save you the trouble Phillip; Twilight :thumbsup:

Although, I happen to know that he has a soft spot for A Night in Sickbay as well....... :unsure: :lol:

As far as I'm concerned, ANIS ranks up there with Rogue Planet :)

Ooh, another of your favourites! :lol:

It's obviously quality because I watched it all the way through, unlike that DS9 rubbish which I gave up on :ph43r: :lol:

Just to add context, Steve also likes Andromeda....... :p

I do? Nobody told me! Do I also like Relic Hunter and Mutant X or whatever the feck it's called? :ponder: :lol:

Like you don't really know what it's called! Just check out your DVD shelf, it's there isn't it? :lol:

No :p

<<wipes brow with relief>>

Ah. Denial.......:lol:

It ain`t just a river in Egypt. :ph43r:

Voyager was good from time to time and i did watch it from start to finish, i think, but i look back at old eps and i ask myself why i ever watched them. My fave eps were Fairhaven and Spirit Folk and some others from the later seasons, i watch some of the earlier ones and ask myself why. However Voyager entertained me for 7 years, so i voted for quality entertainment, cos back then i think it was.

Ems :)

At the same time I watch episodes like Fair Haven, Spirit Folk and others from later seasons and ask why :)

Personally Voyager fell downhill once they bought Seven of Boobs in, and decided the series would be the Seven and Doctor show (with Captain Janeway and Lt Torres).

I've often said that it's debatable that Voyager's first season is the best first season of any of the modern Treks. That being said, after the first year everything went south, and as Phillip says, as soon as they introduced 'the catsuit' it was all over.

I opted for "Utter Shite".

I can think of only a handful of watchable eps, and most of them feature Robert Picardo at his bitchy best :lol:

The main reason they got the vote though????

The show could have been great. It had a wonderful premise, a reasonably talented cast, anc so many wonderful ways that both could have been used.

But....

They just decided to attempt a clone of TNG and it just didn't w**k.

They tried, (bless 'em) and Scorpion part 1 could have been a turning point for the show. That one ep was all that I could hope for in a Trek show, (scary borg (lots of) an even scarier bad guy wiping out the Borg, and good acting turns from most of the main cast. Then they went and spoiled it with part 2 of the story :cry: :cry: :cry:

they turned the borg from the most impressive/terrifying villains in Trekdom, into a bunch of snivelling little "villain of the week" monsters that could be taken out quite easily by a single Starship who's captain had perma-PMS (OK, so theoretically there's no force in the Galaxy that could take that force on and win :lol: )

The show is categorised by missed opportunities. They looked at the wonderful things they were trying out on DS9 and thought to themselves..."Nah, that'll never w**k, let's just put a pile of shite out" and that is (unfortunately) what they did on a weekly basis.

I thought Trek couldn't sink any lower, Then came Enterprise.... But that's a subject for another poll :lol:

That and the fact that they completely neglected half of the cast in later seasons. You can pretty much count the decent Chakotay episodes on one hand. Likewise Tuvok, Harry etc. You're right though, even with the characters they missed opportunity after opportunity. Think of the O'Brien/Bashir dynamic on DS9 and how well that worked for adding an extra dimension to each character. In the early days they tried something similar with Paris/Kim, which to be fair, did w**k to a slightly less degree. But, what to they do then? Jack it in in an attempt to contrive Paris/BLT hopping into bed. FFS! Luckily I'd stopped caring by that point anyway....:rolleyes:

I really enjoyed the banter between Paris/Kim, probably one of the reasons i kept watching the show.
