Lost
and Not Found, Voyager
| |
As Voyager
enters it's fifth season trapped in the Delta Quadrant, I have
to wonder why the story-line has yet to improve. Both DS9 and
The Next Generation had their mandatory one year of crap season
where the storyline wasn't that great. However, both of these
series improved over time and became interesting shows that
were worthwhile to watch. Then came Voyager. |
| |
We
all sat through the mandatory season of crap, waiting for the
'better' second season to arrive, Well, the second season arrived
but the stories never got any better. We all hoped that the
"next" season would improve, it never did. Quite suddenly,
we're in the fifth season of Voyager still waiting for the stories
to improve. Perhaps they finally have. |

The
episode of the week of January 17th to the 23rd, was excellent.
It featured the character of Tom Pairs being his alter ego "CAPTAIN
PROTON" on the holodeck. The story was original and humorous.
(Since I also like the whole 1930's serial movie feel I really
enjoyed the episode). Hopefully the rest of Voyager'e episodes
will be this good. But what if they aren't? |
| |
It's
been on for nearly five years and the stories are finally becoming
good enough to watch? Other shows that were lacking quality
would be "dead" in less than a season. But, since
Voyager is the flagship series of UPN it had been given a stay
of execution and was left to live on.

Since
Voyager will spend it's last two years of "life"
as the only new Star Trek series on television, I guess
I'll have to start liking it. What I'm concerned about,
though, is what about the next Trek series? Will the
entire shows run be crap? Will it be the best one yet?
Or, will it be the first Trek series to be canceled
before it's able to finish it's run?
