I said I wasn't going to...but what the heck. Here are 10. It is hard to find a larger number of memorable antagonists from Voyager.

Well ... hafta be consistent. Voted for the Borg again.

Wow, is there really so little love for Voyager? The franchise may have been spiraling down, but it wasn't dead yet...

Seska hands down. They really missed the boat with killing her like they did. She was as clever as Janeway and I lived the chemistry between her and Chakotay.

Originally they had planned for the baby to be Chakotay's and it was the baby that was going to die leaving a very vengeful Seska who wou;d then been after them for that even leaving the Kazon to pursue Voyager.

But Berman thought that it was wrong to kill a baby on Trek that the fans would not have liked it and so they did it the way they did it.

Went with the Hirogen. Of all the antagonists Voyager introduced, they were the most interesting. Probably the best Voyager episodes were "The Killing Game", where a Hirogen hijacks Voyager and tries to turn it into a huge holodeck in an attempt to save his peoples' culture.

And everyone knows Voyager ruined the Borg, so they don't deserve a vote.

Some bizarre choices in there. Weren't Dr. Chaotica and the Krenim basically one-shot bad guys? I think a villain has to enjoy some durability to be ranked among the best.

See, the problem here is using any form of the word "good" in conjunction with "Voyager".

The Voyager Borg weren't nearly as scary as the TNG Borg. I can't believe they rated so highly.

I would have voted species 8XXX except they were there for so few episodes, and were defeated so quickly (albeit with Borg help).

So I voted the Kazon instead. I like how they captured Voyager in Basics.

As "Berman" or "the writers" aren't options ...

I went with the Kazon. Not that I liked them all that much, but I really liked the pilot for the series and the first few eps, and I was lulled into thinking that the series would take its own premise seriously.
