Star Trek Discovery not getting any better I fear.

Nelix was annoying but I still found him endearing. His relationship with Tuvok was fun to watch sometimes.

I haven't heard if Netflix will carry Discovery season 3 or not.

I think that Nelix redeemed himself somewhat, toward the end of the series, but I also found him hugely annoying. The "Tuvix" episode was particularly good, or at least much better than much of the rest. On second watch I also started to see past the "Borgwatch" aspects of Seven of Nine, and realized that they were using the character to tell some pretty compelling stories. Overall, though, Voyager is my second least favourite of the Trek series, leaving Disco right out of it.

Stick with Voyager or switch to TNG season 1?

If canon is important to you and you don't like it when the writers ignore stuff, then, do NOT watch later Voyager. I'm really not a canon guy (shock, surprise), but, even I am looking at the last couple of seasons and going, "WTF?"

Canons not super important as long as it's not wtf levels of madness. I can barely remember TOS or TNG.

I like Voyager, but TNG is better.

Voyager had a stellar pilot and than season 1 was dross (as in very boring).

It picks up a LOT in season 4.

However, TNG I feel is better in all ways.

The only thing really worth watching in TNG season 1 is the opener, "Encounter at Farpoint". No, make that 'required viewing' for the way it bookends the series finale "All Good Things", which is one of TNG's best episodes.

Here's the thing about Voyager: it has some excellent episodes, but also some of the worst in the franchise. If I were starting cold with VOY, I'd watch the first few eipsodes to get a handle on the characters and premise, then read a few 'top 10/best of' lists and run through those.

I'd say that's good advice. That way you'll likely avoid the episodes in which virtually the entire crew should have been spaced for mutiny.
