Even though I wasn't enjoying it very much, I watched Voyager out of force of
(ST-watching) habit up until the (second season?) episode "Threshold", which was
the worst, most god-awful piece of rediculous crud I'd ever seen come out of the
ST franchise. Far worse than "Spock's Brain", IMHO.
Threshold = "Worst. Episode. Ever." Fortunately, they could only go up from there!
Bryon again:
IMHO, the network execs think ST fans are stupid and couldn't handle/appreciate
anything too complex/controversial/cutting edge/new. When DS9 ended, Ron Moore
moved on to Voyager, and he tried to make some changes and add new ideas, so they
booted him. I think those are the reasons why the ST franchise is dying. As you can
see, I'm a little bitter about the Star Trek franchise. It had/has the potential to be *so*
good, and yet I've been so constantly disappointed, that I've mostly given up.
And now it looks like the SciFi Channel is moving in the same direction. Tracker is *awful*. And don't get me started on Black Scorpion from a couple of years ago.

Bryon replied:
That was me that posted that. I noted the irony that CBS milked Roddenberry for
his ideas when they made Lost In Space, while Paramount milked JMS for ideas
when they made DS9.
Sorry for the misattribution.
