I loved Voyager and don't understand the hate. I'm more of a Star Wars fan, however, and not that knowledgeable regarding Trek.
Honestly, there aren't enough good actors on the show. Picardo, Mulgrew, Phillips, and later Ryan carried the show... everyone else was kind of just... there. Couple that with very hit and miss writing and it's easy to see why it doesn't live up to the previous shows... but it was still a pretty good show when they weren't going action heavy. Or throwing weird salamander sex in there.
I used to love Star Trek until that Tuvix episode. I'm mixed-race, and when they hauled him off to be killed I saw them hauling off me.
Have you seen the one where Torres gets spilt into two beings, one Klingon and one human? It is fucked. I expected them to tell a story about how both halves of her are valid but... they did not tell that story. Massive fuck up.
Didn't they? Human B'Elanna had to grapple with her internalized anti-Klingon prejudice, and came to see Klingon B'Elanna as a source of strength and self-confidence. Klingon B'Elanna was disdainful toward human B'Elanna but learned to appreciate her Ingenuity and ability to think on her feet. It's been a few months since I saw that episode but I thought it was decent (grading on a curve because it's Voyager).
Damn. Thanks that's a perspective I'd never have thought of. Though I'd also have kept Tuvix around.
