New Star Trek trailer online

I think some people just have a more narrowly defined ST universe than others.

While this is undoubtedly true, I feel constrained to point out that this is hardly the only reason to dislike Voyager.

I didn't dislike the show just because "it wasn't Star Trek." I disliked it because it was (IMO) a bad show.

Another problem was not only tromping outside the ST universe, but twisting things from the ST universe into strange things, while discarding the pretty deep history built by three shows and several films.

And then, on top of it, it was basically a Monster of the Week show with a lot of average stories and not-so-engrossing characters. Which sort of defeated the point of tossing out the previously known ST universe - they basically did that without gaining anything from it. If you have this whole lost in the nowhere going on, then you have to capitalise it, like Farscape - they played out the weirdness angle very often (and had interesting characters and good story arcs).

Cheers, LT.

There were reasons to dislike each of the series. The original was fairly poorly acted. There was a definite self-righteous streak in TNG. DS9 added in a strong metaphysical/religious component that some people did not feel was in keeping with ST's tradition of a more scientific focus. Enterprise broke some of the canon without apology. Voyager overused deus ex machina relative to the other series. There are more reasons for each of the shows to be disliked and it is pointless to get into a pissing contest with anyone, particularly if they have a favorite, so let's not start in on that, mouse.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. No pissing contests here, nor was I trying to start an argument about which show was worse. All I was saying is that some people might dislike Voyager for reasons other than it "not being Star Trek." Nothing more, nothing less; didn't mean to imply anything more than that.

Easy there, mouse. My post wasn't fueled by anything other than reason and the wish to avoid protracted ST debates (STDs? ).

Yeah, the overall story execution of the series really sucked for the most part.
